What is the purpose of the survey?
- The purpose of the survey is to study access to different information and communication technologies (such as computer, mobile phone and Internet) in Brazilian households and how people aged 10 and over use these technologies in their daily lives.
Why is this survey important?
- The study contributes to the development of the Internet in Brazil and to the construction of public policies for digital inclusion. Additionally, it allows other researchers to investigate how technology can benefit people's lives.
How is the survey conducted?
The survey is conducted nationwide, in households randomly selected based on the 2022 Census from the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics). The questionnaires contain questions that enable an understanding of access to existing technologies and the usage habits of citizens. These questionnaires are administered by interviewers properly identified with a badge from Ipsos-Ipec or Quaest, which are the companies responsible for the interviews.
Each household is subject to an in-person interview. If there are children or adolescents aged 9 to 17 in the household, they may be selected to respond to the TIC Kids Online Brazil survey questionnaire, aimed at understanding Internet usage among this population.
To ensure the quality of the results, it is essential that the selected person collaborates with the survey. The methodology used does not allow another resident to respond on their behalf.
