Computer ownership in Indonesian rural and urban areas has shown a tendency to increase during the 2012-2020 period, although not significantly.
According to data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), the percentage of rural households owning or possessing a computer was only 5.6% in 2012, then rose to 9.5% in 2020.
Meanwhile, the percentage of computer ownership in urban areas was 24.5% in 2012, and increased to 26% in 2020.
Combined, national computer ownership rose from 14.86% in 2012 to 18.83% in 2020.
Although there has been a general increase, computer ownership in rural areas remains far below that of urban areas, as shown in the graph. This indicates a significant gap in technology access between urban and rural areas in Indonesia.
