How this figure is calculated
An equal-weighted index of 4 indicators: Proportion of individuals using the Internet; Mobile cellular subscriptions; Fixed broadband subscriptions; Secure Internet servers. Each is standardised against that year's spread across all reporting countries before averaging, so a score of 0 is the average country and +1 is one standard deviation above it.
Equal-weighted mean of the standardised inputs below.
Computed from
- Proportion of individuals using the Internet United Nations Statistics Division, SDG Global Database
- Mobile cellular subscriptions World Telecommunication/ICT Indicators Database, International Telecommunication Union (ITU)
- Fixed broadband subscriptions World Telecommunication/ICT Indicators Database, International Telecommunication Union (ITU)
- Secure Internet servers Secure Server Survey, Netcraft
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
