Socio-Economic/Monitoring Survey [hh/sems]
These surveys are the second of the series of LAC: COVID-19 High Frequency Monitoring Project (Phase1 - P173987) & (Phase 2- P175839).
This study presents information from these 23 countries. Brazil was later integrated into the LAC HFPS Phase 2 project. See the project information here: https://microdata.worldbank.org/index.php/catalog/4533. For additional information on the LAC HFPS Phase 1, see here: https://pubdocs.worldbank.org/en/238561622829862035/HFPS-TECHNICAL-NOTE-MAY2021-FINAL.pdf
Households and individuals of 18 years of age and older.
Version
Edited, anonymized dataset for public distribution.
2022-08-16
This version includes an adjustment in the labels of the variables in the digital module. Additional updates to the databases for Ecuador as the previous ones included surveys to Venezuelan migrants, which are not part of the population for which the survey is representative of.
Scope
The 2021 HFPS collects information on changes in employment and income, prevalence of food insecurity, access to health, education, and financing services. This allows users to compare certain indicators of living conditions of households and individuals with the 2020 HFPS. Additionally, the 2021 phase gathered information on access and use of internet and digital banking services, gender issues, mental health, coping mechanisms and childcare. As in the first phase, the surveys are representative of individuals of 18 years of age or above who have an active cellphone number or a landline at home. An improvement in the sampling methodology also allows for the data of Phase 2 Wave 1 to be representative of school-age children and adolescents for the education module.
Eligible respondents for the HFPS were adults 18 years old and above. Only one respondent per household was interviewed, and he/she answered individual, child and household-level questions.

Sampling
Phase 2 Wave 1 samples for the Original Countries included two components: a) a panel formed by respondents to Phase 1 Wave 1, and b) a supplement fresh sample of phone numbers to compensate for attrition between Phase 1 Wave 1 and Phase 2 Wave 1, and to slightly increase the overall sample size. The samples of the Added Countries (i.e. those only included in Phase 2) is based on a dual frame of cell phone and landline numbers generated through a Random Digit Dialing (RDD) process. In the first phase, a large sample was selected in both frames, and then screened through an automated process to identify the active, eligible numbers. A smaller second-phase sample was selected from the active residential numbers from in the first-phase sample and was delivered to the country teams. See Sampling Design and Weighting document for more detail.
HFPS Phase 2 has three units of analysis: households, adult individuals (18 years of age and older) and children 6 through 17 years of age. Weights were computed for each sample unit and should be used according to the estimate of interest.
The weighting process for the 13 Countries included in LAC HFPS Phase 1 involve five steps:
- Calculation of the inclusion probabilities of landline and cell phone numbers.
- Computation of design weights for households and individuals.
- Attrition nonresponse weighting adjustment for the panel sample component, and first-time nonresponse adjustment for the supplement sample component.
- Calibration of household, adult and child/adolescent weights, using external ancillary data from official sources (adjusted by national phone coverage).
- Weight trimming and recalibration.
The sample design and weighting procedures for new countries are the same ones used for the Original Countries in Phase 1 Wave 1.
