LARTIGUE-MENDOZA, Jacques e GONZALEZ-MARTINEZ, Alayn. The included and the marginalized from telecommunications in Mexico. A household approach. EconoQuantum [online]. 2022, vol.19, n.1, pp.53-82. Epub 23-Maio-2022. ISSN 2007-9869. https://doi.org/10.18381/eq.v19i1.7239.
Objective:
To identify the evolution of telecommunication services penetration within Mexican households, from 2004 to 2020, and to pinpoint the determining factors leading to the inclusion or marginalization from these services; with the purpose of promoting the integration to the market, through telecommunication services, of millions of households.
Methodology:
Generation of new statistics and employment of logistic econometric models.
Results:
The size of the locality in which the household is situated, as well as its income, constitute the most relevant variables regarding its probability of access to telecommunication services.
Constraints:
The poverty level analysis is shortened, due to the establishment of the official multidimensional methodology for measuring poverty from 2009 onward.
Originality:
This research contributes with novel statistics and analysis, allowing for a better design of public policies.
Conclusions:
Households located in the rural sector, in the south-southeast of the country, and/or poor, lag far behind and are less likely to receive telecommunication services, primarily internet. To some extent, this problem stems from a market failure, due to a narrow offer in rural localities -especially in Guerrero, Oaxaca, Chiapas and Veracruz- or the existence of non-competitive prices. This situation limits the breakup of vicious cycles of poverty and marginalization.
