Methodology:

All figures in this report are drawn from GlobalWebIndex’s online research among internet users aged 16-64. We only interview respondents aged 16-64 and our figures are representative of the online populations of each market, not its total population. Note that in many markets in Latin America, the Middle-East and Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region, low internet penetration rates can mean online populations are more young, urban, affluent, and educated than the total population. Figures in this report are drawn from a mix of our ongoing quarterly global Core research among 688,000 internet users aged 16-64 worldwide, and our custom recontact study focusing on COVID-19 fielded in 17 countries between April 22 – 27
