A World Bank Gender Statistics indicator measures the percentage of respondents aged 15 and older who used a mobile phone or card to pay for household food or cleaning supplies. The dataset provides a metric for digital payment adoption among adults. The organization responsible is Gender Statistics.
Use Cases

- Compare payment method adoption rates across different countries or regions.
- Track changes in the 'percentage of respondents' metric over time to assess policy impact.
- Model consumer payment behavior for household essentials based on the reported indicator.
Strengths
- Provides a standardized metric ('percentage of respondents') for cross-country comparison.
- Focuses on a specific and measurable consumer behavior (payment for household supplies).
Limitations
- No column details are provided, limiting analysis of underlying demographic or geographic variables.
