Despite explosive growth of information and communication technology, only 5 percent of humanity - the richest 5 percent - reap the benefits and opportunities of the digital revolution. In developing countries, less than 2 percent of the people have access to the internet, compared with 30 percent in developed countries. The world's poor - including 400 million impoverished children living in Asia and the Pacific - remain information have-nots. 

Education and access to information are the best means to enable young people to escape poverty.

Digital Dividends looks at pioneering initiatives in Bangladesh, Cambodia, and India to spread the benefits of information and communication technology to poor children.
