Mobile Phone (Individual) follows the definition of SDG indicator 5.b.1 to enhance the use of enabling technology, in particular information and communications technology, to promote the empowerment of women.
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)
The standard LNOB analysis for the mobile phone ownership (individual) includes the following circumstances:
• Wealth of the household: top 60 or bottom 40 (of the wealth distribution)
• Education level: lower (primary or less), secondary or higher
• Sex: male or female
• 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.
