Hello Aoir's,

I've been digging around for days looking for global data on the number/percentage of youth (any segment of ages between 9 and 24) who use the Internet/use email/use IM, and I've come up with very, very little.
Does any one know of a source for such numbers?
I'd particularly like both a global number or estimate and/or a country by country break down on use.

I'd also love a comparative look at IM versus SMS use in a variety of countries. In countries where SMS use is so prevalent among youth, is IM ever used?

thanks,
