Other Household Survey [hh/oth]
Tunisia Urban Youth Survey (UYS) was conducted in 2012. The survey was conceived by a group of Tunisian professors and students, called Projet Citoyen, from various universities in Tunisia, particularly from Ecole Superieure des Sciences Economiques et Commerciales de Tunis (ESSECT). Motivated by the observed differences between different parts of the country, including neighborhoods in the Grand Tunis area, the aim of the survey was to scientifically understand urban inequality, with a specific focus on economic opportunities for young people. This effort led to collaboration between the Tunisian National Statistical Office (Institut National de la Statistique or INS), the General Commissariat for Regional Development, and the World Bank. The INS provided the sampling frame, the commissariat, as the main government counterpart, provided guidance for the scope of the survey and its urban focus, and the World Bank provided technical and financial support.
Sample survey data [ssd]
Version
- v01: Edited, anonymous dataset for public distribution.
Scope
The study focuses on:
· Spatial patterns of unemployment, economic activity, migration, access to basic services and shocks;
· Job search methods and the effectiveness of active labor market programs;
· Attitudes of young people to government and the economy;
· Time use and activities of young people.
Coverage
Urban Areas
7 explicit survey strata were selected: District of Tunis, North East, North West, Central East, Central West, South East, South West
The target population consists of urban households from the 7 regions of the country and their members, in particular those in the 15 to 29 age group.

Sampling
The 2012 UYS has a national coverage of urban areas, and is regionally representative. The total sample size of 4224 households was established to allow good inference at the regional level, within the budget constraints of the project.
The target population consists of urban households from the 7 regions of the country and their members, in particular those in the 15 to 29 age group.
The sample is selected through an EAaw at two levels:
· In the first stage, 352 Enumeration areas (EAs - in French Districts de recensement, EAs) have been drawn with Probability Proportional to Size, using the General Census of Population and Housing in 2004 as sampling frame, and the number of households as the measure of size.
· In the second stage, in each EA selected in the first stage, 12 households will be drawn with equal probabilities. In each EA, the survey team assigned to this EA starts with listing, a comprehensive enumeration of the households in the EA.
The number of EAs to consider within each stratum was calculated using as main criterion the need to obtain estimates of acceptable quality in the key areas of estimation for the investigation. Two scenarios have been discussed. The first scenario follows a distribution proportional to the size of each region. The second scenario simply splits the total sample in an equal way between the 7 regions. For the smallest regions, the first scenario results in a sample that is too small to allow correct inference. On the other hand, it seems of interest to allow a larger sample in larger regions. Therefore, the sampling adopted follows the rule of Markwardt, which allows for a regionally representative sample.
