Internet usage broadly follows the definition of SDG indicator 17.8.1 Proportion of individuals using the internet.
Data Source: MICS
The following data are considered for this analysis:
• Individuals: women and men ages 15 - 49 (WM-Individual Women's Survey and MN-Individual Men's Survey)
• Use of the internet: in the past 3 months.
The standard LNOB analysis for Internet usage includes the following circumstances:
• Wealth of the household: top 60 or bottom 40 (of the wealth distribution)
• Residence: urban or rural
• Education level: lower (primary or less), secondary or higher
• Sex: female or male
• Age group: 15-24, 25-34, 35-49
Analysis including disability: interviewed women and men aged 18-49, as applicable to this indicator, with their own survey weights. These Pakistan MICS6 surveys provide a binary functional-difficulty variable (no difficulty / has difficulty), rather than the six item-level answers. Adults with no disability answer are excluded. Disability prevalence is below the 5% minimum group in these surveys, so a tree may not split by disability. Results remain published with the existing minimum group rule.
