Why to measure ICT household expenditures?

– As ICTs are more and more an increasing part of our everyday life

– As ICTs have also increasing impact on our economic

performance and social well-being

– And as „Digital divide“ based mainly on education and income is

continuing (digital exclusion)

Conclusion: We need to measure ICT household expenditure incl. the related digital divide (together with other ICT statistics) for international and regional benchmarking so policy makers can better design, evaluate or reformulate their ICT policies and related decisions

Broadband subscriptions

Mobile phone has reached high level of diffusion nearly everywhere (ITU, 2011)

One third of the world's population is to be internet users (ITU, 2011).

How to measure ICT household expenditures?

Using existing data collection tool and international classification

Household Budget Survey (HBS): EU countries , Canada, Japan,…?

– Type of survey: Independent (stand alone) survey

– Statistical population: Individual private households

– Time coverage: 2005 , 2010? at EU level (annually at national level)

– Main purpose: To collect information on consumption expenditure

according to the Class. of Individual Consumption by Purpose

– Available breakdowns (HH by level of net income per person,…)

Other data sources: EU- SILC survey; ICT usage surveys (Korea,…),…


www.czso.cz

Classification of Individual Consumption According to Purpose

COICOP: A nomenclature developed by the United Nations Statistics Division

12 categories at two-digit level used for HH consumption expenditures:

01 Food & non-alcoholic beverages; 02 Alcohol, tobacco & narcotics

03 Clothing and footwear; 04 Housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels

05 Furnishings, household equipment and routine household maintenance

06 Health; 07 Transport; 08 Communication; 09 Recreation and culture

10 Education; 11 Restaurants and hotels; 12 Miscellaneous goods and services

Areas of future revision of COICOP relevant for ICT expenditures:

Bundles: two or more goods or services that serve two or more different purposes as a package deal for a discounted price.

Communication equipment and services: the boundary between Communication and Audio-visual and information processing equipment is now thinner

The share of communication in total household expenditures in the OECD area has been increasing since the mid 1990s.

This trend reflects the mobile telephony development, later also the Internet and broadband services


www.czso.cz

COICOP items used for ICT expenditures measurement

1. ICT services expenditures (Group: 08.3 - Telephone services):

08.3.0.1 Fixed phone services

08.3.0.2 Mobile phone services

08.3.0.3 Internet connection services

2. ICT equipment expenditures:

Group: 08.2 - Telephone equipment

Class: 09.1.3 - Information processing (computer) equipment


www.czso.cz

ICT developments in Czech households (%), 1990 – 2010

While at the end of 2010 only 3% of the Czech households did not have a mobile phone, the fixed phone line did not own nearly 75 % households. Ten years ago this ratio was exactly the opposite.

Households with lowest income (the bottom decile)

Households with highest income (the top decile)

Even if households with highest income spend 2,5 x more per household member than households with lowest income on ICT goods and services, the share of these expenditures relative to their total spending was lower by 1 percentage point compared to households with lowest income in 2010

Households’ ICT equipment expenditures in the Czech Republic

While in 2000 expenditure on telephone equipment (mainly mobile phones) exceeded those of computers ten years later the situation was opposite.
