PHL-PSA-SICT-2013-v2
The 2013 Survey on Information and Communication Technology (SICT) is one of the designated statistical activities undertaken by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). It aims to collect and generate information on the availability, distribution and access/utilization of ICT among establishments in the country.
The objectives of the 2013 SICT is to provide key measures of ICT access and use among establishments which will enable the assessment and monitoring of the digital divide in the country. Furthermore, the survey will generate core ICT indicators important for measuring the progress in information and communication technology.
Specifically, the survey aims to measure the following:
· component of ICT resources and their utilization by establishments;
· diffusion of ICT into establishments from various sources;
· e-commerce transactions from data on e-commerce sales/revenue and purchases;
· cellular mobile phone business transactions from data on sales/revenue;
· estimate of the number of ICT workers in establishments; and
· methods of disposal of ICT equipment.
Some indicators to be generated from the survey are as follows:
· proportion of establishments using computer
· proportion of employees using computers
· proportion of establishments with Internet connections
· proportion of employees using the Internet at work
· proportion of establishments with Web presence
· proportion of establishments with Intranet
· proportion of establishments placing and receiving orders over the Internet
· proportion of establishments using the Internet by type of access and activity
· proportion of establishments with LAN and Extranet
· proportion of establishments on methods of disposal of ICT
The SICT 2013 was a rider survey of the 2013 Annual Survey of Philippine Business and Industry.

Sampling
The 2013 SICT utilized the stratified systematic sampling design with five-digit PSIC serving as industry strata (industry domain) and the employment size as the second stratification variable.
There were only two strata used for the survey, as follows: TE of 20 and over and TE of less than 20.
Industry Domain
The industry stratification for the 2013 SICT is the 5-digit PSIC for both the core ICT industries and for the non-core ICT industries. It has the same industry strata as that of the 2013 ASPBI.
Sample size and selection
Establishments engaged in the core ICT industries will be completely enumerated (100%), regardless of employment size.
The establishments classified in the non-core ICT industries and with total employment of 20 and over shall be covered on a 20 percent sampling basis for each of the industry domain at the national level. The minimum sample size is set to 3 establishments and maximum of 10 establishments per cell (industry domain).
However, when the total number of establishments (N) in the cell is less than the set minimum sample size, all establishments in that cell are taken as samples.

The overall response rate for the 2013 SICT is 87.04 percent (9,562 of the 10,986 sample establishments). This included receipts of "good" questionnaires, partially accomplished questionnaires, reports of closed, moved out or out of scope establishments. Sample establishments under core ICT industries reported 89.96 percent response rate ( 5,421 out of 6,026 establishments) while non-core ICT industries response rate is 83.48 percent (3,633 out of 4,352 sample establishments). On the other hand, industries classified in Business Process Management (BPM) have a response rate of 83.55 percent (508 out of 608 establishments).
For Core industries, the weight is equal to 1.
For Non-core industries,
Weight Adjustment Factor for Non-Response
To account for non-response in the non-certainty strata, the adjustment factor (n/n') was multiplied with the sampling weight (W) of each of the sampling unit. The sampling weight, defined as N/n, was recomputed as
W' = N/n*n/n' = N/n'
Thus, the adjusted weight (W'sj) for employment stratum in TE of 20 and over was
W'sj = Ns/ns * ns/n's = Ns/n's
where:
Ns = total number of establishments in the employment stratum in TE 20 and over in the sth industry domain
n's = number of responding establishments in the employment stratum in TE 20 and over in the sth industry domain

Ns = total number of establishments in the employment stratum in TE 20 and over in the sth industry domain
n's = number of responding establishments in the employment stratum in TE 20 and over in the sth industry domain
