Innovation: More than half of Dominican households now have internet access, but significant disparities remain.
The ENHOGAR 2025 report confirms that more than half of Dominican households have internet access, reflecting a significant advance in the country’s digital inclusion.
However, the survey warns that territorial and socioeconomic differences continue to limit equitable access.
In urban areas, the service reaches more than 70% of families, while in rural communities it barely exceeds 30%.
This disparity translates into limitations for education, remote work, and access to digital services.
Households with higher incomes show almost universal penetration, while those with fewer resources rely on basic mobile plans that limit connection quality.
Economist Winston Marte explains that expanding technological infrastructure and reducing costs are key to closing the digital divide.
The survey underlines that ensuring universal access is an outstanding challenge for public policy.
