Information and communication technology (ICT) skills in Indonesia remained unevenly distributed as of 2021. Data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) shows a disparity in ICT proficiency among adolescents and adults aged 15-59 in urban and rural areas.

The BPS recorded that 70.17% of the Indonesian population possessed ICT skills in 2021. Specifically, only 56.98% of the rural population had mastered ICT, while the urban population had a significantly higher percentage at 79.78%.

Nevertheless, the proportion of the population possessing ICT skills in both areas increased compared to 2020. At that time, 75.17% of the urban population possessed ICT skills, while the rural population was only at 49.77%.

Furthermore, when viewed by gender, the proportion of male ICT proficiency is higher than that of females.

In 2021, 73.51% of males aged 15-59 possessed ICT skills. Meanwhile, the proportion of females possessing ICT skills was 66.79% that year.
