The bar chart illustrates the percentage of households in various income groups that had the opportunity to purchase internet access in 2020.
Overall, it shows that internet access increased in 2020 across all income groups. However, people with low incomes still do not have full internet access, while those in the upper middle and high-income brackets enjoy complete connectivity. In each income group, the percentage of internet access grew by only half a percent.
Interestingly, the indicator for upper middle income is higher than that for high income, which is quite surprising, as high-income individuals are generally expected to have better access to the internet.
In conclusion, since 2010, internet access has not significantly increased—only improving by half a percent—which raises concerns about the state of internet connectivity for lower-income households.
