Series Information
The Jobs Skills and Migration Survey consists of three identical household surveys conducted in Central Asia during the summer of 2013 by GIZ and the World Bank. It is representative at the national, regional (Oblast), and urban/rural level.
Abstract
The survey collects comprehensive information not typically captured by traditional household surveys. It includes two distinct instruments: a core questionnaire and a skills questionnaire. The core questionnaire contains modules on education, employment, migration, health expenditure, remittances, government transfers, financial services, subjective poverty, and housing conditions, as well as a complete household expenditure module. The core questionnaire concludes with the random selection of one or two household members aged 15 to 64 to whom the skill questionnaire is administered.

Sampling

Sampling Procedure
The sample consists of 1,500 households with 7,005 individuals, stratified at the Oblast (region) and Urban/Rural level. The sample is grouped into 75 PSUs of 20 households each. Each PSU is randomly selected with a probability proportional to its size. Within each PSU, the households are selected using a geographical sampling procedure. 4 random point wrre generated using a numbered grid over a map. From this starting point within the PSU, one out of every 4 households is interviewed, following a systematic route.

Within each household, two sections of the questionnaire were directed at two different categories of individuals. Sometimes, the same person responded to both sections. First, the most knowledgeable person of the household was asked the main part of the questionnaire. 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 second 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, the 7 language questions of the cognitive skills test are unusable because of translation.
