Qué funciona en Uruguay

Uruguay has implemented several major digital-inclusion and social-protection programmes. Plan Ceibal has reached 670,312 public-school students with free devices and internet since 2007, connecting 99% of public schools, while its adaptive mathematics platform gained +0.20 SD in maths scores with larger effects for lower-SES pupils. Plan Ibirapitá distributed nearly 193,000 tablets to low-income pensioners by 2019, though 57% had not used their device in the week before survey, highlighting limits of hardware distribution without sustained support. Uruguay's National Integrated Care System formalised care work and expanded subsidised childcare and elder care, though unpaid care work remains equivalent to 23.8% of GDP with women bearing 16.0 percentage points versus 7.8 for men.
