The liberalization of the telecommunications sector in Togo aimed at ensuring access to a better quality of telecommunication services at affordable prices to everyone. While the liberalization policy has increased competition in the sector and reduced significantly telecommunication services prices charged to costumers, statistics on the access and use of telecommunication services in Togo reveal disparities with respect to individuals' socio-economic characteristics which could be an indication of the existence of inequalities of opportunities in the access and use of these services.

This paper investigates the inequalities of opportunity in the access and use of telecommunication services in Togo using a parametric approach. The results of estimations indicate that, inequalities of opportunities are larger for men and the elderly than respectively women and youths and are more pronounced in urban areas and regions such as the Plateaux and Savanna regions. Moreover, the circumstance variables such as the ‘place of residence’ and the ‘region’ are the key variables in explaining the inequalities of opportunities in the access and use of telecommunication services in Togo. So, policies toward reducing inequalities of opportunity in the access and use of telecommunication services in Togo should be designed with regards to men, the elderly, and people living in urban areas and regions such as the Plateaux and Savanna regions.

多哥电信部门的自由化旨在确保所有人都能以可承受的价格获得更好质量的电信服务。尽管自由化政策增加了该部门的竞争，并大大降低了向客户收取的电信服务价格，但多哥电信服务的获取和使用统计表明，个人社会经济特征存在差异，这可能表明存在这种差异。在获取和使用这些服务中机会的不平等。

本文使用参数方法研究了多哥电信服务的获取和使用中的机会不平等。估计结果表明，男性和老年人的机会不平等分别大于妇女和青年，并且在城市地区和高原地区和热带稀树草原地区更为明显。此外，诸如“居住地”和“地区”之类的环境变量是解释多哥电信服务获取和使用中机会不平等的关键变量。因此，应针对男性，老年人和居住在城市地区和高原地区（例如高原地区和萨凡纳地区）的人们，制定减少多哥电信服务获取和使用中机会机会不平等的政策。
