Survey of Living Conditions 2001 - Jamaica

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

The JSLC gleans household and individual data from a subset of the population covered by the Labour force Survey. Information is collected on consumption, health, education, nutrition, housing, demographic characteristics, and the Food Stamp Programme. The main purpose of the survey is to provide the government with information for policy development and planning. Although modeled of the World Bank's Living Standards Measurement Study (LSMS) household surveys, it has a narrower focus and greater emphasis on policy impact. In 2001, the complete the survey and a module on youth 17-29 years was fielded.

Sample survey data [ssd]

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

The sample dwellings for the JSLC is a random sub-set of the sample of approximately one-third of the preceding Labour Force survey (LFS) to facilitate linkage of the data from both surveys. The sampling design is a two-stage stratified random sampling with the first stage being the selection of areas (enumeration districts (ED)) and the second stage a selection of dwellings. For the selection of EDsall in the country are grouped into Sampling Regions (SR) of strata of approximate equal size, in terms of the number odf dwellings. Two EDs are selected from each sampling region with probability proportionate to size. In each ED, a list of dwellings is prepared and this becomes the frame for the selection of the Master Sample of dwellings for the labour force.

Mode of data collection
---------------------------

Face-to-face [f2f]

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

A household questionnaire was administered in each household to the household head or a representative. Household information such as housing and household expenditure are collected.
Information on household members includes: Sex, age, marital/union status, etc. Education for all persons 3 years and over Health for all persons Child health for children less than five years

Cleaning operations
---------------------------

Before data entry, all the questionnaires are edited and coded. All questionnaires partially completed, or not properly filled out, were removed from data entry operations if they could not be corrected. The questionnaires were then screened by the supervising Statisticians, before being submitted for data entry.

Response rate
---------------------------

Refusals 10.7% Vacant/closed dwellings 23.9% Total non-response - 34.6% These rates were higher than usual and were attributed the fact that the sample used in this survey was the same one used in the previous 3 years. Thus the survey experienced respondent fatigue manifested in the refusals and more households being demolished or merged.

Sampling error estimates

These are done and recorded in the report

摘要
---------------------------
JSLC 数据集从劳动人口调查覆盖的特定人群子集中提取家庭和个人数据。数据涵盖消费、健康、教育、营养、住房和人口特征，以及粮食券计划。调查的主要目的是为政府提供政策制定和规划的信息。尽管该调查以世界银行的《生活水平测量研究》（LSMS）家庭调查为模型，但其关注范围更窄，对政策影响更为重视。2001年，完成了完整的调查，并增设了针对17至29岁青年人群的调查模块。

抽样程序
---------------------------
JSLC 的样本住宅是先前劳动人口调查（LFS）样本中大约三分之一的随机子集，以便于两个调查数据的链接。抽样设计为两阶段分层随机抽样，第一阶段是区域（调查区（ED））的选择，第二阶段是住宅的选择。在整个国家，所有调查区按住宅数量的大致相等的大小划分为抽样区域（SR），每个抽样区域中选择两个ED，选择概率与规模成比例。在每个ED中，准备一份住宅清单，这成为选择劳动力调查主样本住宅的框架。
数据收集方式
---------------------------
面对面 [f2f]
研究工具
---------------------------
在每个家庭中向户主或代表发放家庭问卷，收集家庭信息，如住房和家庭支出。家庭成员信息包括：性别、年龄、婚姻/伴侣状况等。3岁及以上所有人的教育，所有人的健康，五岁以下儿童的儿童健康。
数据清理操作
---------------------------
在数据录入之前，所有问卷均经过编辑和编码。所有部分完成或填写不完整的问卷，如果无法更正，则从数据录入操作中删除。然后，由监督统计员对问卷进行筛选，然后再提交数据录入。
应答率
---------------------------
拒绝率 10.7%，空置/关闭住宅 23.9%，总非应答率 - 34.6%。这些比率高于常规，归因于本调查使用的样本与之前3年使用的样本相同。因此，调查经历了应答者疲劳，表现为拒绝率和更多家庭被拆除或合并。
抽样误差估计

这些将在报告中记录
