Abstract

The article reports national statistical data on the usage of information and communication technologies in Ecuador, illustrating a sample of what occurs across Latin American countries. The data was collected in the 28 cities from Ecuador. The respondents were 40, 814 people aged from 0 to 98 years old. Regarding gender, 20,110 (49.3%) participants identified as male and 20,704 (50.7%) as female. Regarding educational level, 1,570 (3.8%) participants did not report any level of education, 115 (0.3%) attended a literacy center, 8,492 (24.9%) primary school, 9,317 (25.8%) basic education, 7,041 (17.9%) secondary school, 5,239 (12.8%) high school, 717 (1.8%) non-university higher education, 4,860 (11.9%) university higher education, 320 (0.8%) postgraduate level. In the results, it was found that a large number of citizens do not have access to technological means in favor of activities such as education or to solve everyday life activities. The results are discussed in the context of Latin America and the need for greater investment in the technological accessibility and development of the region to improve the living conditions of its people.
