Household and Youth Survey 2009-2010 - Morocco

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

From December 2009 to March 2010 the World Bank with the help of Moroccan government conducted a study of the country's young people and their engagement in economic and social activities. Researchers from the World Bank's Sustainable Development Sector of the Middle East and North Africa region utilized a mixed-method approach to study factors that impede the economic and social inclusion of Moroccans aged 15 to 29. The Morocco Household and Youth Survey (MHYS) used two survey instruments to gather quantitative data: Household Questionnaire and Youth Questionnaire.

The study used a nationally representative sample of 2,000 households, in which 1,216 households were located in urban areas and 784 households in the rural areas. The Youth Questionnaire was administered to 2,883 young people between the ages of 15 and 29, representing about 90 percent of the youth in the surveyed households. Information was collected on topics such as economic inclusion, community participation, and use of key public services. The survey was able to examine little studied issues relating to youth such as participation in the labor force, intermediation, career choice, perceived job possibilities, use of time, use of recreational and educational activities targeting young people who have completed formal education.

The focus groups discussions supplemented MHYS.

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

The sample size for the Household Questionnaire was 2,000 households with 1,216 found in urban locations and 784 in rural locations. The 2,000 households were drawn from the 2004 General Census of Population and Housing. For determining the number of households in urban and rural locations, proportionality of the possible locations was used to ensure representativeness. The proportionality was based off the disaggregation of Morocco into primary units in which there are about 600 households. In the end, 125 primary units were randomly selected, with 76 rural primary units and 49 urban primary units. From these 125 primary units, 16 households were randomly selected giving us the total sample size of 2,000 households.

For the Youth Questionnaire, the sample size was 2,883 individuals between the ages of 15 and 29. These 2,883 individuals came from the selected households in the Household Questionnaire. If there was an individual or individuals between the ages of 15 and 29 living at the selected household, the Youth Questionnaire was administrated. More details on sample design are provided in Appendix 2 in "MHYS Basic Information Document".

Research instrument

Household Questionnaire covers the following topics: Educational Characteristics, Economic Activities in last 12 months, Secondary Economic Activities in last 12 months, Economic Activities in the last 7 days, Unemployment, Health and Social Security, Housing Characteristics and Durables, Agricultural Assets, Climate Change and Shocks in Agriculture,Incidence of Shocks and Household Responses, Assistance from Social Programs, Migration of Household Members, Migration of non-residents, Migration and Climate Change, Decisions on Consumption in the Household, Expenditures on Frequently Consumed Food Items; Less Frequent Non-Food and Food Expenditures Household Consumption expenditures and food source procurement, Expenditure on less frequent non-food and food products,Infrequent Expenditures, Women in Decision Making

Youth Questionnaire includes the following sections: Employment Preferences, Education, Employment during the last 7 days, First Job, Employment History, Entrepreneurship and Independent Farming, Unemployment, Job Search, Job Services Access, Financial Behavior, Participation of Youth in Educational Institutions and in Youth Centers, Participation of Youth in Family, Access of Youth to Recreation and Social Activities, Satisfaction and Communication, and Time Use.

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

The MHYS contains several data files, with each file pertinent to a specific section. For the case in which there are multiple sections per data file, it is because they share similar levels of observations.

The households are identified by the variable "hid" which consists of the region, province, commune, and enumerator area in which the household is located. This allows the household members to remain anonymous yet statistically unique. This is extremely important especially when it comes to merging different datasets.

Merging data sets will depend on which files are being merged. The key to merging the MHYS data files will be to use unique variables.

For the data sets, the "hid" variable will be the unique variable used to perform the merge at household level; "memid" will be the unique variable used to perform the merge at individual level.

The variable "q5" which signifies enumeration area is scrambled to preserve anonymity of sampled households.

The weights are provided in the data file "weights" and can be merged.

摘要
---------------------------
自2009年12月至2010年3月，世界银行在摩洛哥政府的协助下，对该国15至29岁的年轻人及其在经济和社会活动中的参与情况进行了研究。中东和北非地区可持续发展战略部门的世界银行研究人员采用混合方法研究阻碍摩洛哥15至29岁年轻人经济和社会融入的因素。摩洛哥家庭与青年调查（MHYS）使用了两种调查工具收集定量数据：家庭问卷和青年问卷。

研究采用了全国代表性的2,000户家庭的样本，其中1,216户位于城市地区，784户位于农村地区。对2,883名15至29岁的年轻人进行了青年问卷的调查，这约占调查家庭中年轻人的90%。收集了有关经济融入、社区参与和关键公共服务使用等主题的信息。该调查能够探讨有关年轻人参与劳动力市场、中介、职业选择、感知就业可能性、时间使用以及针对已完成正规教育的年轻人的休闲和教育活动的使用等鲜为人知的问题。

焦点小组讨论补充了MHYS。

抽样程序
---------------------------
家庭问卷的样本量为2,000户，其中1,216户位于城市地区，784户位于农村地区。这2,000户家庭来自2004年的人口和住房普查。在确定城市和农村地区的家庭数量时，使用了可能的地点的比例性，以确保代表性。比例性基于将摩洛哥分解为约600户家庭的初级单位。最终，随机选择了125个初级单位，其中76个为农村初级单位，49个为城市初级单位。从这125个初级单位中，随机选择了16户，从而得到总样本量2,000户。

对于青年问卷，样本量为2,883名15至29岁的个人。这2,883名个人来自家庭问卷中选定的家庭。如果选定的家庭中有15至29岁的个人，则进行青年问卷的调查。有关样本设计的更多详细信息，请参阅“MHYS基本信息文档”附录2。

数据清洗操作
---------------------------
MHYS包含多个数据文件，每个文件与特定部分相关。对于每个数据文件中存在多个部分的情况，是因为它们具有相似的观察水平。

家庭通过变量“hid”进行识别，该变量由家庭所在地区、省份、市镇和调查员区域组成。这使得家庭成员保持匿名，同时统计上具有唯一性。这在合并不同数据集时尤为重要。

数据集合并将取决于要合并的文件。合并MHYS数据文件的关键是使用唯一变量。

对于数据集，变量“hid”将用于在家庭层面执行合并的唯一变量；“memid”将用于在个人层面执行合并的唯一变量。

表示抽样区域变量的“q5”被混淆，以保护抽样家庭的匿名性。

权重在数据文件“weights”中提供，并可合并。
