<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>Geneva: Some 2.9 billion people -- 37 percent of the world's population -- have still never used the internet<\/a>, the United Nations<\/a> said Tuesday, despite the Covid-19 pandemic driving people online.

The UN's
International Telecommunication Union<\/a> estimated that 96 percent of those 2.9 billion live in developing countries.

The agency said the estimated number of people who have gone online rose from 4.1 billion in 2019 to 4.9 billion this year, partially due to a \"Covid connectivity boost\".

But even among those internet users, many hundreds of millions might only go online infrequently, using shared devices or facing connection speeds that hamper their internet use.

\"ITU will work to make sure the building blocks are in place to connect the remaining 2.9 billion. We are determined to ensure no one will be left behind,\" said ITU secretary-general
Houlin Zhao<\/a>.

The number of users globally grew by more than 10 percent in the first year of the Covid crisis -- by far the largest annual increase in a decade.

The ITU cited measures such as lockdowns, school closures and the need to access services like remote banking.

But the growth has been uneven.
Internet access<\/a> is often unaffordable in poorer nations -- almost three-quarters of people have never been online in the 46 least-developed countries.

Younger people, men and urbanites are more likely to use the internet than older adults, women and those in rural areas, with the gender gap more pronounced in developing nations.

Poverty, illiteracy, limited electricity access and a lack of digital skills continue to challenge the \"digitally excluded\", the ITU added.

日内瓦:大约29亿人——世界上37%的人口,还从未使用过互联网,联合国周二表示,尽管Covid-19流行开车人在线。

联合国的国际电信联盟29亿年估计,96%的人生活在发展中国家。

该机构表示,在线估计的人数已经从41亿年的2019上升到49亿,今年部分由于“Covid连接提高”。

但即使在这些互联网用户,许多数百万可能只有很少上网,使用共享设备或面临阻碍他们的互联网使用的连接速度。

“电联将努力确保构建块来连接其余29亿。我们决心确保没有人会留下,”电联秘书长说Houlin赵

全球用户数量增长了超过10%的第一年Covid危机——迄今为止最大的年度增长十年。

ITU引用等措施封锁,学校关闭,需要访问远程银行等服务。

但发展不平衡。互联网接入往往负担不起在贫穷国家,近四分之三的人从来没有在46个最不发达国家。

年轻人,男人和城市居民更有可能比老年人使用互联网,在农村地区,妇女和那些发展中国家的性别差距更加明显。

贫困、文盲、电力有限访问和缺乏数字技能继续挑战“数字排除”,国际电联补充道。
