Household Internet Use Survey, 2000 [Canada]

The Household Internet Use Survey (HIUS) was conducted a fourth time in January 2001 for Science Innovation and Electronic Information Division at Statistics Canada by Special Surveys Division of Statistics Canada. The annual HIUS collects detailed data on the Internet activities of Canadian households. It reports on Canadians using the Internet and measures the ext ent of their use, location of use, frequency of use and their reasons for using or not using the Internet. In 1999, data on electronic commerce from home was provided. In 2000, users can study the growth of e-commerce by tracking orders, purchases or use of Internet that influence acquisition of products or services. The 2000 HIUS changed its reporting period to cover the full 2000 calendar year. The Household Internet Use Survey (HIUS) was conducted in October 1997, October 1998, November 1999 and by Statistics Canada. The 2000 survey (conducted January 2001) examined Canadian households' access to the home, in the workplace and in a number of other locations. The resulting data and analysis sheds light on relationships between usage and location of use, household income, as well as other demographic factors.
