The ICT household survey is a mandatory annual survey governed by European regulations.

In 2023, the survey focused on :

• household information and communication technology equipment (including mobile internet via a telephone or laptop);

• Internet use and frequency;

• use of e-government services ;

• Internet consumption habits;

• Internet of things ;

• Green ICT ;

• digital equipment ;

• screen exposure ;

• telemedicine consultations.

The survey is collecting data of internet users, individuals who have used the internet in the three months prior to the survey.

It is collecting data on non-internet users.

This annual survey is used to benchmark ICT-driven developments, both by following developments for core variables over time and by looking in greater depth at other aspects at a specific point in time. While the survey initially concentrated on access and connectivity issues, its scope has subsequently been extended to cover a variety of subjects (for example, the use of internet, e-government, e-commerce, internet of things and green ICT) and socio-economic analysis (gender specificity, differences in age, education and the employment situation).

Internet equipment is collected at household level and the other characteristics at the level of an individual in the household, randomly selected to answer the questionnaire: this individual is the "Kish individual".

For internet access, the survey focuses on households in which at least one person is aged 15 or over and resident in France (metropolitan France and the French overseas departments and territories excluding Mayotte).

For the other statistics, the information collected concerns individuals over the age of 15 living in France (metropolitan France excluding Mayotte.
