GWI Kids explores the attitudes and behaviors of internet users aged 8-15. It is a primary data set, meaning it's entirely separate from GWI Core and our other data sets.

GWI Kids explores the attitudes and behaviors of internet users aged 8-15 across 18 markets globally. This is done by interviewing both children and their parents/guardians, providing a complete picture of a child’s actions and opinions as well as the context in which they live.

Details about the markets included, their annual samples as well as what's covered in the data set can be found in our coverage page.

GWI Kids is run once a year, and was first fielded in Q1 2021.

GWI Kids represents children aged 8-15 who use the internet. It doesn’t overlap with GWI Core, which represents internet users aged 16-64 or 65+ in some markets.

GWI Kids has been meticulously designed so that all questions are mobile friendly, and easy to understand.

The majority of questions are asked to all children, but some are asked differently to 8-11 years olds and 12-15 year olds respectively. The questions asked to younger respondents tend to be simpler and contain fewer options. Additionally, age appropriate options are provided for each age group.
