Evidence snapshot for Uruguay
Uruguay has implemented several large-scale digital-inclusion programmes: Plan Ceibal has reached 670,312 direct beneficiaries and connected 99% of public schools since 2007, while Plan Ibirapitá distributed nearly 193,000 tablets to low-income pensioners by 2019, though only 70% reported use and 57% had not used their device in the week before survey. Uruguay's National Integrated Care System formalised care work as a regulated profession, with women comprising 94.9% of registered paid care workers. Uruguay's accessibility observatory audits state websites against WCAG 2.1 every six months, finding that 48% of institutional portals reduced errors by October 2025, though only 31% of 16 disability-oriented transactions conformed.
