Individual Computer Access

Info-communications Media Development Authority (IMDA) household survey statistics in this collection measure the share of Singapore residents who have ever had the chance to use a computer, including desktops, laptops, notebooks, and tablets regardless of ownership. The CSV Individual Computer Access dataset supports digital inclusion research for coverage from 2013 through 2018. Analysts studying infocomm adoption trends can align findings with the Annual Survey on Infocomm Usage in Households methodology based on roughly 3,500 household and resident interviews. Figures refer to resident populations sampled via Statistics Department address frames.
