The INE data highlights a significant digital divide in Paraguay, driven by age, geography, and employment. Urban and young populations lead connectivity, while rural residents and older adults lag behind, revealing structural inequalities in access that persist across different demographics. Usage patterns favor mobile devices and social communication over professional tasks, with messaging apps dominating consumption. This trend indicates that despite high overall connectivity, the internet is primarily used for leisure and social interaction rather than as a tool for productivity or civic engagement in many sectors. This article is vital for open data initiatives as it underscores the need for granular, disaggregated statistics to accurately map digital exclusion. Understanding these disparities allows policymakers to design targeted interventions, ensuring that open data initiatives truly reflect and address the specific connectivity gaps affecting vulnerable groups in society.
