Abstract

This paper explores the usefulness of data deriving from Population and Housing Censuses in Latin America and the Caribbean, in the 2000 Round, in order to describe the patterns of penetration of ICT goods in the households of the countries in the region. With this purpose in mind, the report approaches the following issues: The availability of information on ICTs in the 2000 Census Round. Characteristics of the instruments used for registering and measuring the ownership of ICT goods. The penetration of the various kinds of ICT goods. Profile description of households with greatest connectivity, with the intention of identifying significant connectivity gaps, as well as territorial and socio-economic gaps. A series of proposals to obtain new or better information with regard to the possession and penetration of ICT goods, by means of censuses.
