Summary
The Sudan Labor Market Panel Survey (SLMPS) 2022 offers crucial data on Sudan
Area of Science:
- Socioeconomic studies
- Labor economics
- Development studies
Background:
- Sudan faces significant data gaps in understanding its labor market dynamics.
- Previous national surveys are outdated, hindering evidence-based policy.
- The need for current, representative data is critical for socioeconomic analysis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce the Sudan Labor Market Panel Survey (SLMPS) 2022.
- To detail the survey's methodology, sampling, and data collection processes.
- To highlight the data's potential for research on Sudan's labor market, economy, and society.
Main Methods:
- Nationally representative household survey design.
- Multipurpose data collection on labor and socioeconomic indicators.
- Complex sampling strategy, oversampling displaced populations.
Main Results:
- Successful implementation of the SLMPS 2022.
- Description of survey training, fieldwork, and resulting sample.
- Provision of survey weights for robust analysis.
Conclusions:
- The SLMPS 2022 provides a unique, rich dataset.
- Enables in-depth research into Sudan's evolving labor market.
- Facilitates better understanding of Sudan's economy and society.

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Surveys are essential for marking property boundaries near water bodies. Different types of surveys are defined, each with its own function. Land surveys mark the property boundaries, while route surveys determine the position of properties on nearby highways. Topographic surveys create maps by capturing the three-dimensional features of the land. Hydrographic surveys focus on the shapes of underwater areas and the movement of streams through the properties. Mine surveys determine the relative...

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

01:16Stratified Sampling Method
12.9K
Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.
To choose a stratified sample, divide the population into groups called strata and then take a...

7.0K
The systematic method of obtaining and analyzing accurate information of a population is called data collection. A survey is a standard method of data collection that involves collecting information from a target human population about their experience, opinion, or knowledge of a product, service, or process. The responses are recorded and interpreted. The most common survey examples are written questionnaires, face-to-face or telephonic conversations, focus groups, and electronic (e-mail or...
