Other Household Survey [hh/oth]
The People's Security Survey (PSS) is a household survey conducted by the International Labour Orgnaisation's (ILO) Social Security Department (SECSOC). The survey seeks to track the seven forms of work-related security comprising decent work, as well as highlighting people's aspirations and sense of social justice. Between 2000 and 2003, these surveys were conducted in 15 countries and in 2005 these were conducted in three countries: Namibia, Mozambique and Sri Lanka. Because the survey instrument was being developed during that time, and for budgetary reasons, the samples and survey design varied. In some countries, a national representative survey was conducted; in others, representative samples were drawn only from selected regions or from urban areas only.
- Provide an improved understanding of perceived needs of people for policies and institutional support to provide them with basic security.
- Enable the creation of a Decent Work Index, which is crucial to ILO's work.
- Provide important information that can be used to flag security concerns of workers in ILO
- Reports and other documents.

Sampling
The households in the sample were selected from residents of kebelles (kebelle is the lowest administrative unit in the country) in southern Addis Ababa, and kebelles in the area stretching 125 kms. east of the capital along the main Addis Ababa - Nazareth road. The kebelles were selected randomly, so too the households in each kebelle. The selection of the sample households was based on kebelle registers, which are supposed to contain a current list of residents in each kebelle. In the original study, 25 per cent of the households were from the rural areas and the rest were urban residents. The towns in which the survey was undertaken were Addis Ababa, Debre Zeit, Mojo and Nazareth. Of the total sample households, 40 per cent were from Addis Ababa.
Survey instrument
The PSS contain about 100 questions - some common to all respondents, and some to specific worker or social groups. A set of core questions are asked in all the PSS. In addition there are questions about specific issues that are important in the context of the country and/or the socio economic group that the PSS targets. The questionnaires are divided into sections by the seven types of securities that the IFP/SES monitors (except three Latin American surveys).
In addition, there are sections on:
- Background characteristics - these refer to a respondent's age, marital status and household characteristics.
- Basic security - Basic security is analysed in these surveys in terms of access to adequate food, health care, shelter and access to water.
- Social justice - these set of questions explore people's sense of social justice since these perceptions are closely linked to the sense of anxiety and distributive justice that underlies insecurity.
