Affordable internet access is a target of UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 9.22 Having access to Internet means easy access to information as well as connectivity to financial, health and education services. Young men and women are most likely to be the main users of internet also for other purposes, such as social networks, games, and videos. Nowadays, having a computer at home can improve opportunities for youth, especially to education and employment.

The research of Youth CPI, conducted by Warif in Saudi cities showed that more than half of the youth population across the cities have readily available internet and an average of 32.9% of youth reported that they have access to internet to a certain extent. Cities with the highest internet access include Riyadh, Dammam, Abha, and Hasa.
