Survey on migration in destination areas in Bangladesh, Ghana and India

The datasets comprise cross-sectional individual surveys of male and female migrants of different lengths of residence in seven cities located in Bangladesh, India and Ghana between May and August 2017. The choice of the seven locations was based on the responses on most frequently cited migrant destinations collected from the sending area surveys (DOI:10.17632/223z53kwnm.1. published on here). The sampling strategy consisted of a two-stage approach that involved on-site listing to identify the presence of migrant populations followed by purposive sampling. The second survey returned 2664 valid questionnaires. The design and collection of the two datasets involved researchers from University of Exeter (UK), University of Southampton (UK), Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (Bangladesh), Jadavpur University (India), the Refugee and Migratory Movements Research Unit (Bangladesh) and University of Ghana (Ghana). The datasets described above were developed, designed and collected to capture information on demographic indicators, material wellbeing, subjective wellbeing, perceived changes in exposure to hazards, networks, place attachment and migration trajectories, intentions and aspirations, and adaptation response to environmental hazards and change. Electronic tablets using the free software Survey Solutions provided by the World Bank. Steps for quality assurance of the datasets included a) pre-testing of the questionnaire by in country partners; b) questionnaires were translated into local language to include cultural specific terminology; c) recruitment and training of enumerators prior to implementation of surveys; d) consistent supervision in the field; e) multiple quality checks performed at the point of survey upload and subsequent validations by enumerators, field supervisors and control headquarters. Prior to survey implementation the research protocol was subject to review and approval by Ethic Committees at partner institutions.两套数据集均包含2017年5月至8月间，针对孟加拉国、印度与加纳境内七座城市中不同居住时长的男女移民开展的横断面个人调查。本次选取七座调研地点的依据，是从迁出地调查中收集到的、被频繁提及的移民迁入地反馈数据（DOI：10.17632/223z53kwnm.1，已在线发布）。本次调研采用两阶段抽样策略：首先通过现场登记确认移民群体的存在，随后采用立意抽样。第二次调查共回收有效问卷2664份。埃克塞特大学（University of Exeter，英国）、南安普顿大学（University of Southampton，英国）、孟加拉国工程技术大学（Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology，孟加拉国）、贾达夫普尔大学（Jadavpur University，印度）、难民与移民运动研究单元（Refugee and Migratory Movements Research Unit，孟加拉国）以及加纳大学（University of Ghana，加纳）的研究人员参与了本数据集的设计与数据采集工作。上述两套数据集的开发、设计与采集工作，旨在收集以下维度的信息：人口统计指标、物质福祉、主观福祉、感知到的灾害暴露变化、社会网络、地方依恋、移民轨迹、迁移意愿与抱负，以及针对环境灾害与变化的适应应对措施。调研依托世界银行提供的免费软件Survey Solutions，在电子平板上完成。本数据集的质量保障流程包括：a）由境内合作方对问卷进行预调研测试；b）将问卷翻译为当地语言，以纳入符合文化特性的专业术语；c）在调研实施前对调查员进行招募与培训；d）在实地调研中开展持续督导；e）在问卷上传阶段开展多轮质量核查，并由调查员、现场督导与管控总部后续进行验证。在调研实施前，本研究方案已通过各合作机构的伦理委员会审查与批准。
