Cetic.br provides microdata from the ICT Households survey
The availability of microdata sets for download will facilitate users' access to the survey results
The Regional Center for Studies on the Development of the Information Society (Cetic.br), a department of the Brazilian Network Information Center (NIC.br), under the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (CGI.br), began providing, from this Wednesday (10/25), the microdata from the 11th edition of the ICT Households Survey for download – a survey of national and international relevance in mapping the access and use of information and communication technologies (ICT) by Brazilians aged 10 and over.
The disaggregated and de-identified data from the survey conducted in more than 23,000 households across the national territory, between November 2015 and June 2016, were released at the Web.br Conference 2017 and are available in .csv format. This database comprises the ICT Households 2015 indicators and the variables that make up the domains of analysis of the Survey, in addition to variables such as color or race and religion.
"Internet access and use are increasingly relevant for academic research and for the formulation and implementation of public policies. The release of the ICT Households microdata meets the growing demand for information on the subject. There are numerous possible variables and analyses for different actors in society to have the opportunity to develop their own interpretations on the topic," emphasizes Alexandre Barbosa, manager of Cetic.br.
To facilitate the understanding and use of the microdata, Cetic.br also offers the user a set of relevant information about the survey, including the methodological report, questionnaire, and data dictionary, as well as metadata from the Survey and the provided files.
With the publication of the ICT Households Survey 2015 microdata, Cetic.br begins the process of online availability of its household data sets, which will also include the ICT Kids Online Brazil Survey and the most recent edition of the ICT Households Survey, released in September of this year. This availability process was guided by the set of Best Practices for Data on the Web proposed by the W3C.
The microdata sets from other surveys can be accessed by signing the Terms of Access and Use between the requesting institution and NIC.br: https://cetic.br/microdados.
