Therefore, the modified production function of Robert Solow was, which adds to the neoclassical version the technological developments, was used. Was considered with factor A the percentage of internet use in households. In Brazil, whose percentage of Internet use is 54.2%, the multiplier effect of labor was 38.4%. Compared to countries where the percentage exceeds 90%, the multiplier effect exceeds 60%. Thus, we emphasize the importance of digital inclusion measures adopted by governments, companies and NGOs, so that the work factor is greater in the production function of Brazil.
