Enterprise Survey 2017 - Uruguay

Abstract
---------------------------

The survey was conducted in Uruguay between March and December 2017 as part of the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) Enterprise Survey 2017, an initiative of the World Bank.

The objective of the Enterprise Survey is to gain an understanding of what firms experience in the private sector.

As part of its strategic goal of building a climate for investment, job creation, and sustainable growth, the World Bank has promoted improving the business environment as a key strategy for development, which has led to a systematic effort in collecting enterprise data across countries. The Enterprise Surveys (ES) are an ongoing World Bank project in collecting both objective data based on firms’ experiences and enterprises’ perception of the environment in which they operate.

Analysis unit
---------------------------

The primary sampling unit of the study is the establishment. An establishment is a physical location where business is carried out and where industrial operations take place or services are provided. A firm may be composed of one or more establishments. For example, a brewery may have several bottling plants and several establishments for distribution. For the purposes of this survey an establishment must make its own financial decisions and have its own financial statements separate from those of the firm. An establishment must also have its own management and control over its payroll.

Sample survey data[ssd]

Sampling procedure
---------------------------

The sample for 2017 Uruguay ES was selected using stratified random sampling, following the methodology explained in the <a href='http://www.enterprisesurveys.org/~/media/GIAWB/EnterpriseSurveys/Documents/Methodology/Sampling_Note.pdf'> Sampling Note</a>.

Three levels of stratification were used in Uruguay: industry, establishment size, and region. The original sample design with specific information of the industries and regions chosen is described in “The Uruguay 2017 Enterprise Surveys Data Set” report, Appendix C.

Industry stratification was designed as follows: the universe was stratified into Manufacturing industries (ISIC Rev. 3.1 codes 15-37), Retail industries (ISIC code 52) and Other Services (ISIC codes 45, 50, 51, 55, 60-64, and 72).

For the Uruguay ES, size stratification was defined as follows: small (5 to 19 employees), medium (20 to 99 employees), and large (100 or more employees).

Regional stratification was done across two regions: Montevideo and Canelones.

Note: See Sections II and III of “The Uruguay 2017 Enterprise Surveys Data Set” report for additional details on the sampling procedure.

Face-to-Face[f2f]

Research instrument
---------------------------

Two questionnaires - Manufacturing amd Services were used to collect the survey data.

The Questionnaires have common questions (core module) and respectfully additional manufacturing- and services-specific questions. The eligible manufacturing industries have been surveyed using the Manufacturing questionnaire (includes the core module, plus manufacturing specific questions). Retail firms have been interviewed using the Services questionnaire (includes the core module plus retail specific questions) and the residual eligible services have been covered using the Services questionnaire (includes the core module).

摘要
---------------------------
本调研于2017年3月至12月在乌拉圭进行，作为世界银行发起的拉丁美洲和加勒比海地区（LAC）企业调查2017年的一项举措。
企业调查的目的是深入了解私营部门企业的经历。
在世界银行旨在营造投资、就业创造和可持续增长氛围的战略目标下，世界银行将改善商业环境作为一项关键的发展战略，从而推动了对各国企业数据的系统收集。企业调查（ES）是世界银行的一项持续项目，旨在收集基于企业经历的客观数据以及企业对其运营环境的感知。

本研究的初级抽样单位为机构。机构是指从事商业活动、进行工业操作或提供服务的一个物理地点。一个企业可能由一个或多个机构组成。例如，一家啤酒厂可能有几个灌装厂和几个分销机构。在本调查中，机构必须能够独立做出财务决策，并拥有与其企业财务报表分开的独立财务报表。机构还必须拥有自己的管理和对其薪酬的控制。

抽样程序
---------------------------
2017年乌拉圭ES的样本采用分层随机抽样方法选出，具体方法参见<a href='http://www.enterprisesurveys.org/~/media/GIAWB/EnterpriseSurveys/Documents/Methodology/Sampling_Note.pdf'>抽样说明</a>。
在乌拉圭，使用了三个层次的分层：行业、机构规模和地区。有关所选行业和地区的具体信息，以及原始样本设计的描述，请参见“乌拉圭2017企业调查数据集”报告附录C。
行业分层设计如下：总体被分为制造业（ISIC Rev. 3.1代码15-37）、零售业（ISIC代码52）和其他服务（ISIC代码45、50、51、55、60-64和72）。
对于乌拉圭ES，规模分层定义如下：小型（5至19名员工）、中型（20至99名员工）和大型（100名或以上员工）。
地区分层涉及两个地区：蒙得维的亚和卡内洛斯。
注意：有关抽样程序的更多信息，请参阅“乌拉圭2017企业调查数据集”报告的第二部分和第三部分。

研究工具
---------------------------
使用了两份问卷——制造业和服务业问卷来收集调查数据。
问卷包含共同问题（核心模块）以及各自额外的制造业和服务业特定问题。合格的制造业行业使用制造业问卷（包括核心模块，以及制造业特定问题）进行了调查。零售企业使用服务业问卷（包括核心模块以及零售特定问题）进行了访谈，其余合格的服务业则使用服务业问卷（包括核心模块）进行了覆盖。
