HOUSEHOLDS WITH ACCESS TO A COMPUTER BY BROAD REGION, 1998–2003 Source: ABS Household Use of Information Technology, Australia (cat. no. 8146.0). STATISTICAL NOTES Household data are from the ABS Household Use of Information Technology Survey. Up to 2000 data was collected as part of the ABS Population Survey Monitor (PSM) in 2001 as part of the Survey of Education, Training and Information Technology (SETIT) in 2002 as part of the General Social Survey (GSS) and in 2003 as part of the Survey of Disability, Ageing and Carers (SDAC). Computer Includes desktop computers, laptops, notebooks, items such as pocket computers or 'personal organisers' which can be plugged into larger computers and dedicated word processors. From 2000, machines were excluded from the survey as were machines where repair or restoration to working order was not being planned. Household A household is defined as a group of one or more persons in a private dwelling who consider themselves to be separate from other persons in the dwelling, and who make regular provisions to take meals separately from those other persons. Lodgers who receive accommodation and meals are not treated as separate households. A household may consist of any number of family and non-family members. Capital city Capital city refers to capital city statistical divisions. These delimit an area which is stable for general statistical purposes. The boundary is defined to contain anticipated development of the city for a period of 20 years. They contain more than just the urban centre, and represent the city in the wider sense. INTERNATIONAL COMPARISON HOUSEHOLDS WITH ACCESS TO A HOME COMPUTER, 2002(a) Source:OECD Science, Technology and Industry Scoreboard 2003, Towards a knowledge-based economy, (http://www.oecd.org). STATISTICAL NOTES Information on household home computer access was provided to the OECD by National Statistical Organisations which collected the information using a variety of surveys, such as labour force, time use, household expenditure, general or specialised social surveys. Issues for international comparability include differences in the timing, scope and coverage of national surveys. Users should note that statistics on ICT use may differ because of structural differences in the composition of households between countries.
