Subject: Historical ICT survey micro-data?
Dear Colleagues,
(I have looked through the Aior archives for an answer to this but could not see one - I had hoped there would be a full text search facility :-)
We are probably about to start a project looking at historical 'everyday time use' patterns with respect to domestic ICT usage. We have a multinational historical time-use dataset (http://iserwww.essex.ac.uk/mtus/technical.php) but I am searching for ICT focused survey microdata that we can link to it.
Specifically, does anyone know of nationally representative micro surveys (i.e. individuals/households) containing ICT variables (fixed line telephone, VCR, personal computer, mobile phone, internet [whatever flavour], DVD etc etc) for these countries around these specific dates:
USA: 1965, 1975, 1985, 1992-4, 1998 (this is the Maryland webuse data so no problem there) Canada: 1971,1981,1986,1992,1998 France: 1966,1974,1998 Finland: 1979,1987,1996,2000 Netherlands: 1975,1980,1985,1990,1995,2000 Norway: 1971,1980,1990,2000, (2002 e-living) Hungary: 1965,1976,1986,1996,2000
We're also doing the UK of course. Its worth noting that some of the time-use studies also collected the ICT info (e.g. the UM webuse ones) - I'm ignoring this for the time being.
Please mail me and/or the list - I'll summarise any and all responses.
many thanks Ben
