ICT & Media

The information on the use of the internet by individuals and households is derived from the ICT & Media Survey conducted between April and June 2017. This was a collaborative survey that measured the extent to which households and individuals in Curaçao had access to Information and Communication Technology. 

In addition, the media component of this survey measured to what extent, how, and for which purposes respondents made use of media such as radio, newspapers, television, and social media.

An update on social media usage is available for the year 2022. In that year, a question on the use of social media was incorporated into the Labour Force Survey, allowing for more recent insights on this topic.
