Stratification, Social Mobility and Fertility Survey (1995)
No full textThe sample of the poverty study was designed based on the Egypt 1992 Demographic and Health Survey sample frame. It is a multi-stage national probability sample representing all Egypt. The sample included 100 primary sampling units (PSUs). The design of the sample permits disaggregating of the data to the regional and urban/rural levels, however it doesn’t allow disaggregating to the level of governorates.
The size of the target sample was fixed at 6690 households, of which 6156 households have completed the interview questionnaires, thus yielding a response rate of 92%

Arab Opinion Index 2011

It measured public opinion trends related to the degree of citizens’ satisfaction with their economic conditions, standards of living, and the level of services they receive, as well as their views on democracy, political participation, and the impact of religion on general and political life. It also covered how much confidence citizens have in state institutions, how they define the sources of threats to their personal or national security, their perceptions of their Arab surroundings and their positions towards Arab revolutions
Labor Market Panel Survey, ELMPS 2006, Egypt
No full textThe Egypt Labor Market Panel Survey 2006 (ELMPS06) is the first full-fledged panel study of its scale in Egypt. This panel follows a nationally representative sample of 4,816 households visited in 1998, households that split from that sample, plus a refresher sample of 2,500 households. The total number of households reached in 2006 is 8,349. The ELMPS06 provides estimates of employment, unemployment and underemployment. The survey also collects information on job characteristics, mobility, and earnings. Collected data covers issues of household socio-economic characteristics, demographic characteristics, family enterprises and women’s status and work. A separate community level questionnaire has been administered to collect data on access to services and work opportunities in sampled localities. This report provides information on the different methodological issues related to the survey including sampling, questionnaire design, training of field staff, data collection, office review, and data entry

Labor Market Panel Survey, TLMPS 2014, Tunisia
No full textThe Egypt Labor Market Panel Surveys (ELMPSs) of 1998, 2006, and 2012 and Jordan Labor Market Panel Survey (JLMPS) of 2010 have become well-recognized data sources for labor market studies in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). These two surveys have been used in numerous research endeavors including peer reviewed academic publications, dissertations, and international organization reports.
As part of the same series of surveys, the Tunisia Labor Market Panel Survey (TLMPS) of 2014 is the first wave of what will eventually become a longitudinal survey of the Tunisian labor market. Being far richer than any currently available data, the TLMPS 2014 is a much-needed addition in a landscape of otherwise scarce publicly-accessible data on the Tunisian labor market. The TLMPS 2014 was collected in partnership between the Economic Research Forum (ERF) and the Tunisian National Institute of Statistics (INS).
Similarly to its Egyptian and Jordanian counterparts, the TLMPS 2014 is a nationally representative survey that features detailed information on households and individuals, especially in regards to labor market characteristics. As in other countries in the MENA region, Tunisia suffers from high unemployment, particularly for university graduates, youth, and women, and from low female labor force participation.
The survey allows for an in-depth investigation of current employment characteristics as well as analyses of broader labor market dynamics. For instance, analyses have already revealed the particularly long unemployment durations Tunisian youth experience, long even in comparison to other countries in the region.
