KABORE Theophile

Abstract: The ultimate goal of this paper was to examine the determinants of Internet use among urban household heads in Burkina based on data from Burkina Faso's last Household Socio-Economic Survey conducted in 2014. Logistic regression model shows that the factors that positively influence internet use are: being young, owning a clean energy source at home, owning electronic or communication devices and educational level. On the other hand, the gender and the socioprofessional categories of the individual are not significant for the model while the use of the Internet is neutral in regard of the income.
