SAHWA Youth Survey 2016 (2021) - Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Lebanon

Abstract --------------------------- SAHWA - Researching Arab Mediterranean Youth: Towards a New Social Contract 1 is a collaborative research project led by the Barcelona Centre for International Affairs (CIDOB) and co-financed by the European Commission as part of its Seventh Research Framework Programme. SAHWA brings together 15 partners from Europe and Arab Mediterranean countries to research youth prospects and perspectives in a context of multiple social, economic and political transitions in five Arab countries: Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, and Tunisia. The project took place over 2014-2016 with a total budget of €3 million. The SAHWA Youth Survey (YS) is a cross-national survey carried out in five countries, to take the pulse of Arab youth in these countries. In total 9,860 young people, aged 15 to 29, were interviewed throughout the second and third years of the SAHWA Project in 2015 to 2016. The topics around which the project revolves are education, employment and social inclusion, political engagement, culture and values, international migration and mobility, gender, comparative experiences in other transition contexts, and public policies and international cooperation.

Kind of data --------------------------- Sample survey data [ssd] Sampling procedure --------------------------- Algeria: National sample size: 2,036 young people. Final sample size in the data set after cleaning: 2,036. No observations were disregarded. Sampling frame: General Census of population and Housing 2008 provides a list of 1,198 districts and 21,502 households. Sampling design: sub-sample of the Survey on Employment in household (Enquête Emploi auprès des Ménages), conducted by the Office National des Statistiques in 2013. Morocco: National sample size: 2,000 young people. Final sample size in the data set after cleaning: 1,854 young people. After data cleaning, 146 observations had to be excluded as they were out of the age range. Sampling Frame: data published by the High Commissioner for Planning (Haut-Commissariat au Plan, HCP) after the census carried out in 2004 and 2014 (www.hcp.ma/file/111366 ). Sampling design: For details about the sampling design in Morocco please refer to ““SAHWA Documentation Report-Final in the documents” in the documents. Tunisia: National sample size: 2,000 young people. Final sample size in the data set after cleaning: 2,000 young people. No observations were removed disregarded.

Final sample size in the data set after cleaning: 1,970. During the cleaning process, 36 observations had to be disregarded for being out of the age range. Sampling framework: The primarily unit of selection (PSU) are selected from the master sample of the Central Agency of Public Mobilization and Statistics, based on the General Census 2006. Sampling design: Random selection from the SYPE 2014 sample, after excluding the borders/Frontiers governorates. The sample was selected in two stages. First, about 140 PSUs from the pool of 451 PSU of the SYPE 2014 sample were selected. In the second stage, all individuals aged 15-29 (as of 2016) in the selected PSU were interviewed. Lebanon: National sample size: 2,000 young people. Final sample size in the data set after cleaning: 2,000. No observations were removed. Sampling Frame: due to the lack of a household-based sampling frame, the Lebanese Statistical Agency uses geographical blocks in localities as the sampling units of analysis. These blocks are considered the basic unit in the sampling procedure. The Census of Buildings, Dwellings and Establishments (2004) and the Lebanese Household Budget Survey (2004) were used as sample frames. Sampling design: a 2-stage sampling design based on the Census of Buildings, Dwellings and Establishments (2004) was used. The Lebanese territory is divided into 6 administrative regions, and these regions are divided into 26 smaller units or Caza. At the same time, each Caza contains the primary sampling unit, the blocks, bordered by streets and other barriers. The selection of the sampling units in each block is carried out according to the Census of Buildings (2004). Step 1: selection in the first stage consists of a random selection of block Step 2: random selection of primary sampling unit in each block.
