Abstract

This dataset is a part of UNHCR's comprehensive survey series, focusing on the intentions and perspectives of Ukrainian refugees in Switzerland. Conducted from March 30th to May 1st, 2023, in collaboration with Ipsos, the survey encompasses responses from 1,125 households, representing over 2,800 refugees. Utilizing a stratified probability sampling method, the survey targeted 10,000 refugees aged 18 and above with protection status S in Switzerland, randomly selected from the SEM’s database. The dataset provides in-depth insights into refugees' socio-economic situations, profiles, intentions, and the factors influencing their decisions. This rigorous approach ensures that the sample is representative of the Ukrainian refugee population in Switzerland as of March 2023, with a maximum margin of error of about ±3.3%. This valuable resource is instrumental for stakeholders in shaping effective advocacy, programming, and policy decisions to support the refugee population. Weights were applied to the data for household composition, time of arrival, and linguistic region, based on available population statistics, to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the refugees' circumstances.
