This article presents the results of a research aimed to establish whether the indicators proposed by the Colombian government to measure the progress within the Information Society, IS, in the country allows to determine digital inclusion processes. Indicators were classified as follows: aspects that enable digital inclusion and participation in the IS, guidelines for evaluation (supply / demand for services); and population. The main results were the identification of 273 indicators, of which 67.4% assesses enabling aspects and 32.6% assesses participation. 83.9% of the indicators evaluates the offer and 16.1%the demand. Furthermore, we found that 12.5% of the indicators focuses on measuring population groups, from which 47% measure vulnerable groups. The results show that it is necessary to propose indicators that helps to understand the participation of citizens in the information society. |
