The overall sampling sought to cover at least 3,600 individual refugees targeting adult individuals of working age (between 18 and 59 years old), with an equal distribution between females and males. Based on October 2023 UNHCR data, the sampling was representative of the main areas where refugees live in Jordan, which include communities and camps, and stratified across three locations: (i) Amman (targeting 1,600 individuals); (ii) All other governorates (excluding Amman) (targeting 1,200 individuals); and (iii) camps, i.e. Zaatari and Azraq (targeting 800 individuals). The sample was further stratified into Syrians and nonSyrians, with a target of at least 600 non-Syrians (mostly in Amman, but also in other governates). These criteria allowed for a minimum target size of 400 respondents per key disaggregation group permitting a margin of error that is equal or lower than 5 percentage points at the 95 per cent confidence level when analysing the findings.16 Furthermore, within the criteria defined above to ensure sufficient sample sizes for the various sub-groups, the survey sample was randomly extracted among the respondents of the 2024 Vulnerability Assessment Framework (VAF). The VAF pool was used to build on already collected individual information and allow for comparisons over time.
