To fill this knowledge gap, the ILO commissioned The Egyptian Center for Public Opinion Research (Baseera), to conduct a rapid labor force phone survey, in order to study the impact of COVID 19 on the Egyptian labor market. The survey of working age (15 to 64) individuals was conducted on 24th - 30th of June 2020, collecting a sample of 2,033 individuals. \nThe ILO has then commissioned the ERF for the preparation of the harmonised data to be comparable with the COVID 19 Monitor data and is featured as the first wave for Household\/Individual data for Egypt's COVID-19 Monitor; to be followed by 2 waves of data collected by Economic Research Forum (ERF)\nThese surveys aim to monitor the effect of the crisis on Egyptian households, workers, business owners and farmers as well as assessing the way in which these players are coping with the pandemic effects and their expectations regarding future income and job stability. \nThe \u201cPoll on the effects of COVID-19 in Egypt\u201d survey takes into consideration the key demographic and socio-economic characteristics of Egypt to understand the different distributional consequences of the impact of COVID-19 and responses to it, which allows to further study the effect of the pandemic on different vulnerable groups including informal and irregular workers, low skilled workers and youth.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2020-06","end":"2020-06","cycle":"For Egypt"}],"nation":[{"name":"Egypt","abbreviation":"EGY"}],"geog_coverage":"National","analysis_unit":"Household and Individuals","universe":"The survey covers a simple random sample of individuals from 18-64 completed years old.","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"The questionnaire covers the following:\n- Household characteristics\n- Labor market status\n- Employment characteristics\n- Income and earnings\n- Changes due to COVID-19\n- Worker module:  job formality, working hours, online work\n- Coping Strategies\n- Outlook"},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"Egyptian Center for Public Opinion research","abbreviation":"BASEERA","affiliation":""}],"sampling_procedure":"The sample universe for the survey were landline and mobile phone users aged 15-64.

Weights are described separately for household samples and firms. Weights were created on three levels: Individual, household, and household member. Weights had the following inputs:\n\u00b7 Telephone operators and their market shares, provided by the data collection firm\n\u00b7 Number of phones by operator for individuals (individual weight) and household members (household weight and household member weight) \n\u00b7 Representative data with comparable demographic and household characteristics to weight for non-response\nHousehold member weights were calculated by multiplying household weights by household size. Household and individual weights (but not member weights, for internal consistency) were all winsorized at the 99th percentile to ensure that no outlier weight drove statistics. Weights were then normalized by dividing by the mean weight. \n Individual weights should be used for all analyses where the outcome is at the individual level. If outcomes are at the household level (e.g. household income, household food security) then the weight will depend on whether you are generalizing to households (e.g. X% of households are food insecure) or household members (e.g. X% of individuals live in a food insecure household).\nVariable names:\n\u2022 Individual weight: ind_wt\n\u2022 Household weight: hh_wt\n\u2022 Household member weight: hh_mem_wt\n\nNote: there is more details on the weights and sampling at the \u201cCOVID-19 MENA monitor weights\u201d document at the documentation materials."}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"conf_dec":[{"txt":"To access the micro-data, researchers are required to register on the ERF website and comply with the data access agreement.
