Other Household Survey [hh/oth]
Uzbekistan Jobs, Skills, and Migration Survey 2013 is one of three identical household surveys conducted in Central Asia in 2013 by the World Bank in collaboration with German Federal Enterprise for International Cooperation (GIZ). Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan were the other countries.
The purpose of the survey was to collect data on employment, migration, cognitive and non-cognitive skills as well as consumption. Conducted from July to September 2013, the survey collected comprehensive information not typically captured by traditional household surveys. It included two distinct instruments: a core questionnaire and a skills questionnaire.
The core questionnaire covered such topics as education, employment, migration, health expenditure, remittances, government transfers, financial services, subjective poverty, housing conditions, and household expenditures. The skills questionnaire contained detailed modules on labor and work expectations, migration and preparation for migration, language skills, and technical skill training. The non-cognitive test modules of the skills questionnaire were based on World Bank Skills Toward Employment and Productivity (STEP) surveys.
The Uzbekistan sample consisted of 1,500 households with 8,622 individuals, representative at the national, regional (Oblast), and urban/rural levels.

Sampling
The sample consists of 1,500 households with 8,622 individuals, representative at the Oblast (region) and Urban/Rural level. The sampling strategy is an adaptation of the sampling methodology commonly used in Uzbekistan.
The sample is grouped into PSUs, which are geographical areas of a walkable size. The 75 PSUs sampled (among the 15,000+ in the whole country) are divided according to the population size of each of the 27 urban and rural regions. Then within each urban and rural region, each PSU is randomly selected with a probability proportional to its size. Exceptionally in the sample for Uzbekistan, the sizes of the PSUs have been adjusted ex post for each region to better represent its population importance; PSUs nevertheless contain on average 20 households.
Within each PSU, the households are selected using a geographical sampling procedure. This procedure consists of generating a random point using a numbered grid over a map. From this starting point within the PSU, one out of every 5 households is interviewed, following a systematic route designed for each PSU.
The total number of either refusals or absences noted after 3 attempts amounts to 1,067 households. Each missing and refusal was replaced with another household by extending the geographical sampling procedure within the PSU.
Survey instrument
Within each household, two sections of the questionnaire - a core questionnaire and a skills questionnaire - were directed at two different categories of individuals within the household. Sometimes, the same person responded to both sections. First, the most knowledgeable person of the household was asked the core part of the questionnaire, which includes questions regarding each household member for their education, health spending and labour and migration. This main part also included a complete household expenditure module, questions about remittances, government transfers, financial services, subjective poverty and questions about the housing conditions.
The second part of the questionnaire was asked to a randomly chosen adult between the age of 15 to 64 who is not currently a migrant, using a random number table (Kish grid) to ensure the randomness of the selection. Provided it was not possible to reach the person selected after 3 attempts, another person was selected using the same random procedure.
The skills part of the questionnaire included detailed modules about labour and work expectations, migration and preparation for migration, language skills, and technical skill training. It also included a self-assessment of technical skills and knowledge, a non-cognitive, and a cognitive test. Unfortunately, 7 language questions of the cognitive skills test are unusable because of translation.
