According to the *Global Connectivity Report 2022*, the gap in internet access between urban and rural areas globally remains significant.

The report notes that 75% of the global urban population was connected to the internet in 2021. Meanwhile, only 39% of the rural population had internet access.

Regionally, this urban-rural internet access gap was lowest in Europe. The proportion of the urban population in Europe connected to the internet reached 87%, not significantly different from the rural proportion of 80%.

In other regions, such as the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), the Americas, Arab States, Asia-Pacific, and Africa, the gap was wider, as shown in the graph.

The largest gap was recorded in Africa, where the proportion of internet users in urban areas reached 50%, while in rural areas it was about three times lower at 15%.

The *Global Connectivity Report 2022* explains that internet users in rural areas are generally lower due to a lack of infrastructure.

Rural populations also typically have lower income and education levels, making it difficult for them to access technological products.
