Sampling
The sample designed for the labor camp population based on a stratified two-stage sample design. In this case the Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) would be the individual labor camps, and a sample of workers selected in each sample labor camp at the second sampling stage. The sampling frame of labor camps for each region stratified by size in terms of the number of workers. For the 2011 Census enumeration a different classification was used for labor camps with 30 or more workers, and for camps with less than 30 workers. Within each stratum, the sample labor camps selected with Probability Proportional to Size (PPS) based on the number of workers.

- Face-to-face [f2f]
Special household questionnaires designed to collect data about income, expenditure, and individuals, household, and housing characteristics due to the relative difference in economic, social, expenditure trends and income sources. Each person in the “labor Camps” constitutes an independent count unit having its own economic, social and demographic characteristics, as well as its consumer expenditure trends and income sources. In order to be aware of all these characteristics a special comprehensive questionnaire designed for each of the following:
- A person's demographic and social characteristics.
- Economic characteristics related to the ownership of some appliances and tools.
- Income sources: This part includes all the items of income sources that may apply to workers camp resident.
- Expenditure questionnaire: This part includes the items related to expenditure on expenditure sub-groups in the form of groups for which the total value of expenditure recorded without reference to amounts. Thus, it was an open questionnaire that does not include the names of food items; but only the names of sub-groups such as:
- Cereals and their products.
- Meat, fish, milk and eggs.
- Vegetables and fruits
- Legumes
- Clothes
- Shoes
- Actual paid or estimated rent value, and the details of the entity responsible for paying the rent or the percentage if pays.
- Health and treatment services, etc.
On the other hand, there were also some basic goods on which the workers spent so much that are worthy of study and analysis such as the value of readymade meals and spending on communications such as the prices of mobile phones and the prices of phone cards.
In-kind gifts purchased by the worker and sent to persons in Abu Dhabi Emirate or away recorded under a special section of the questionnaire that includes the total value of these gifts, which bought or sent, or he/she intends to send in the coming period.
As the person did not live in a private house or housing unit and was not part of a private or share household, the data of the house or household not collected, and it was one of the objectives of this survey to study the house characteristics of this category.
