THE CLEANED AND HARMONIZED VERSION OF THE SURVEY DATA PRODUCED AND PUBLISHED BY THE ECONOMIC RESEARCH FORUM REPRESENTS 100% OF THE ORIGINAL SURVEY DATA COLLECTED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF STATISTICS OF THE HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN<\/p> \n\nThe Department of Statistics (DOS) carried out four rounds of the 2016 Employment and Unemployment Survey (EUS). The survey rounds covered a sample of about fourty nine thousand households Nation-wide. The sampled households were selected using a stratified multi-stage cluster sampling design. \n\nIt is worthy to mention that the DOS employed new technology in data collection and data processing. Data was collected using electronic questionnaire instead of a hard copy, namely a hand held device (PDA).\n\nThe survey main objectives are:\n- To identify the demographic, social and economic characteristics of the population and manpower.\n- To identify the occupational structure and economic activity of the employed persons, as well as their employment status.\n- To identify the reasons behind the desire of the employed persons to search for a new or additional job.\n- To measure the economic activity participation rates (the number of economically active population divided by the population of 15+ years old).\n- To identify the different characteristics of the unemployed persons.\n- To measure unemployment rates (the number of unemployed persons divided by the number of economically active population of 15+ years old) according to the various characteristics of the unemployed, and the changes that might take place in this regard.\n- To identify the most important ways and means used by the unemployed persons to get a job, in addition to measuring durations of unemployment for such persons.\n- To identify the changes overtime that might take place regarding the above-mentioned variables.\n\nThe raw survey data provided by the Statistical Agency were cleaned and harmonized by the Economic Research Forum, in the context of a major project that started in 2009. During which extensive efforts have been exerted to acquire, clean, harmonize, preserve and disseminate micro data of existing labor force surveys in several Arab countries.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2016","end":"2016","cycle":"-"}],"nation":[{"name":"Jordan","abbreviation":"JOR"}],"geog_coverage":"Covering a sample representative on the national level (Kingdom), governorates, and the three Regions (Central, North and South).","analysis_unit":"1- Household\/family.\n2- Individual\/person.","universe":"The survey covered a national sample of households and all individuals permanently residing in surveyed households.","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"Household: Includes geographical characteristics, household composition, LFS classification of household members, head's and spouse's characteristics, dwelling characteristics and ownership of durables.\n\nIndividual: Includes demographics, nationality and immigration, education, current labor status, main job, secondary job and last held job characteristics, wages and incomes, unemployment characteristics and inactivity reason(s)."},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"Department of Statistics","abbreviation":"DOS","affiliation":"Ministry of Planning"}],"sampling_procedure":"
