What percentage of Afghans use the internet?
World Bank Data displays internet use at about 16 percent of the population in its latest Afghanistan series.
What the figure or term means
Internet use can vary greatly by gender, income, location, electricity access, device ownership, and network coverage.
The indicator does not measure connection quality, affordability, or freedom of access.
Online surveys therefore may not represent the whole population.

How to use this information responsibly
Economic indicators describe different things: national output, prices, household deprivation, employment, public revenue, or access to services. Reading the definition and period is essential.
Economic series are revised and are not interchangeable. Growth in total GDP can coexist with falling income per person and worsening household hardship.
