COVID-19 Impact on Rural Men and Women in Nigeria, Round 1

This dataset is the result of a phone survey set up to measure the impact of COVID-19 on rural people in Nigeria. As most governments have urged the population to stay at home to slow down the transmission of the disease, the impact of COVID-19 can affect women and men in different ways: as an income shock (directly or indirectly); as a health and caring shock; as a shock of mobility (affecting access to water, food, firewood, schooling); and as a risk of increased domestic conflict and violence. To capture these various effects on household welfare, this phone survey was conducted with (around) 500 individuals randomly drawn from an existing list of phone numbers collected from previous household surveys with an equal proportion of women and men. The same individuals were also interviewed during other rounds to generate a longitudinal panel allowing to analyze the impact of COVID-19 through time.

本数据集为一项专门设计的电话调查成果，旨在评估新冠疫情（COVID-19）对尼日利亚农村民众的影响。鉴于多数国家政府均呼吁民众居家以减缓病毒传播，新冠疫情对女性与男性的影响路径存在显著差异：包括直接或间接引发收入冲击、健康与照护冲击、流动限制冲击（影响民众获取水、食物、薪柴及接受教育的机会），以及加剧家庭内部冲突与暴力的风险。为全面捕捉上述多维度因素对家庭福祉的影响，本次电话调查从既往家庭调研收集的现有电话号码名单中，随机抽取约500名受访者，且男女比例保持均衡。研究团队还在后续多轮调研中对同一批受访者进行了回访，最终构建起纵向面板数据集，可用于分析新冠疫情随时间推移产生的动态影响。
