DDI_ZMB_2019_MES_v01_M_WB Development Economics Data Group 2020-07-15 Metadata Editor Version 01 (July 2020) ZMB_2019_MES_v01_M Micro-Enterprise Survey 2019 MES 2019 World Bank Group (WBG) World Bank Group Metadata Editor Enterprise Analysis Unit Joshua Seth Wimpey Enterprise Survey [en/oth] Version 01. Edited, anonymous dataset for public distribution. Zambia Unit of analysis is establishment. An establishment is a physical location where business is carried out and where industrial operations take place or services are provided. A firm may be composed of one or more establishments. For example, a brewery may have several bottling plants and several establishments for distribution. For the purposes of this survey an establishment must make its own financial decisions and have its own financial statements separate from those of the firm. An establishment must also have its own management and control over its payroll. The universe for Zambia Micro-Enterprise Survey includes formally registered businesses with less than five employees. In terms of sector and size, the survey covers all non-agricultural sectors and businesses of all size categories if they meet the registration and size criteria. Sample survey data [ssd] Ipsos Zambia Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi] The main data file is collected using a standardized questionnaire, i.e., the long-form questionnaire. The questionnaire was developed building on previous modules used by the Enterprise Analysis Unit of the World Bank to survey informal businesses and micro-enterprises. To estimate population parameters, weights are applied to survey samples. In surveys design following standard random sampling, selection probability of all units is known before the actual data collection. Hence, weights can be derived as the inverse of selection probability. Confidentiality of the survey respondents and the sensitive information they provide is necessary to ensure the greatest degree of survey participation, integrity and confidence in the quality of the data. Surveys are usually carried out in cooperation with business organizations and government agencies promoting job creation and economic growth, but confidentiality is never compromised. The user of the data acknowledges that the original collector of the data, the authorized distributor of the data, and the relevant funding agency bear no responsibility for use of the data or for interpretations or inferences based upon such uses. zambiamicro_2019_full_data.dta 97 233 .dta Zambia 2019 - Micro-Enterprise Survey Dataset WEB STD FIRMID 97 700707 701136 Firm ID Firm ID 97 11 8243 Square ID Square ID 97 1009001 3088001 ID of Cluster of Squares 97 1009 3088 Status of Interview 97 1 1 1 Long-Form Micro Interview 97 2 Short-Form Micro Interview 0 3 Formal ES firm 0 4 Informal Firm 0 5 Refusal 0 Name of city 97 1 3 1 Lusaka 70 2 Kitwe 17 3 Ndola 10 Module TO BE COMPLETED FROM SCREENER BEFORE INTERVIEW Questionnaire 97 1 1 1 Micro long form 97 2 Informal long form 0 3 All else 0 Country code Country Code 97 40 40 40 Zambia 97 Language of the interview Language 97 1 2 1 English 95 2 Bemba 2 3 Nyanja 0 enumerator_ID Enumerator ID 97 1 14 1 Andrewm 3 2 Boydc 17 3 Catherinec 0 4 Chilombom 0 5 HQ1 56 6 Humphreyl 0 7 Kutamanam 3 8 Margaretl 2 9 Mellanc 2 10 Miselom 3 11 Misozip 1 12 Mulengac 5 13 Nyasulum 0 14 Paulk 5 15 Terryc 0 Day Time face-to-face interview begins: Day 97 1 31 1 2 2 4 3 1 5 2 6 14 7 4 9 2 11 6 12 1 13 1 14 9 15 3 16 2 17 1 18 2 20 5 21 2 22 1 23 4 24 7 25 1 26 3 27 2 28 7 29 6 30 2 31 3 Month Time face-to-face interview begins: Month 97 1 12 1 41 2 29 9 3 10 7 11 7 12 10 Year Time face-to-face interview begins: Year 97 2019 2020 2019 27 2020 70 Hour Time face-to-face interview begins: Hour 97 8 18 8 2 9 5 10 6 11 9 12 10 13 13 14 14 15 12 16 17 17 6 18 3 Minutes Time face-to-face interview begins: Minutes 97 0 59 Type of Premises 97 1 4 -9 Don't know (spontaneous) 0 1 Household 8 2 Non-household with permanent structure 66 3 Non-household with temporary structure, including stall or stands 20 4 Non-fixed premises, including hawkers 3 Type of Activity What is the main observed business activity?
