Digital Youth Index Read the 2023 report

The Nominet Digital Youth Index is a benchmarking report offering insight into young people’s digital experiences. What are the challenges and barriers they face? What do they love – and what do they worry about? Importantly, how can we help them harness the positive power that the digital world promises?

It’s the brainchild of Nominet’s Social Impact Programme and we collect this data every year. It helps us – and you – to understand the digital lives of the young and identify the areas where we need to help them thrive.

2023 data is available for use and you can read the 2023 report with our insight and analysis from the research via the link below.
