Evidence snapshot for Uruguay
Uruguay has pursued systematic digital inclusion and accessibility across multiple domains: Plan Ceibal has reached 670,312 public-school students with devices and free internet since 2007, while Plan Ibirapitá distributed nearly 193,000 tablets to low-income pensioners, though only 70% reported regular use and 57% had not used their device in the week before survey. The Observatorio de Accesibilidad Digital measures accessibility compliance across 130 public organisations every six months, finding that 48% of institutional portals reduced accessibility errors between April and October 2025, though only 31% of disability-oriented transactions met guidelines. Additionally, Uruguay established early labour protections for domestic workers through its 2006 law and became the first country to ratify ILO Convention 189 in 2012, formalising the sector with a 67% increase in registered domestic workers between 2004 and 2012.
