We hope that this study will provide Palestinian planners, researchers and decision makers with needed statistical material on the work conditions, in order to adapt the right policy in the development of employment conditions, which as a consequently, improves the productivity and economic growth. Palestine The Data are representative at region level (West Bank, Gaza Strip), locality type (urban, rural, camp) and governorates Household, individual The target population consist of all Employed Persons aged 15 years and above, worked in the past, and living in the Palestinian Territory, excluding nomads and persons living in institutions such as prisons or shelters. Sample survey data [ssd] The survey tool was designed taking into account the Palestinian conditions. The work conditions questionnaire was a supplement to the labour force survey questionnaire, which depends heavily on it, so it cannot be asked without the labour force survey questionnaire. At the sometime the work conditions survey questionnaire considered to be complementary to the labour force survey. The questionnaire of work conditions depends on three parts of the labour force questionnaire; one part for recording necessary elements for survey management and controls, one part for identifying the sample household, and the last part for recording the labour force characteristics for household members in the working age. Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics Sample Design: Stratification: Four levels of stratification have been made: Stratification by District. Stratification by place of residence which comprises: (a) Municipalities (b) Villages (c) Refugee Camps Stratification by locality size. Stratification by cell identification in that order. Sampling unit: First stage sampling unit are the area units (Cells)in the master sample . The second stage sampling units are households. Face-to-face [f2f] TThe lfs questionnaire consists of four main sections: Identification Data: The main objective for this part is to record the necessary information to identify the household, such as, cluster code, sector, type of locality, cell, housing number and the cell code. Quality Control: This part involves groups of controlling standards to monitor the field and office operation, to keep in order the sequence of questionnaire stages (data collection, field and office coding, data entry, editing after entry and store the data. Household Roster: This part involves demographic characteristics about the household, like number of persons in the household, date of birth, sex, educational level…etc. Employment Part: This part involves the major research indicators, where one questionnaire had been answered by every 15 years and over household member, to be able to explore their labour force status and recognize their major characteristics toward employment status, economic activity, occupation, place of work, and other employment indicators. TThe Palestinian Territory was divided into four regions (North of the West Bank, Middle of the West Bank, South of the West Bank, and Gaza Strip), each of which was supervised by one field supervisor. Each region consists of a number of districts. Field work activities in each region were carried out by one field work team consisted of 4-6 interviewers and one editor . Certain procedures were followed for quality control and efficient organization of the field work. Such procedures pertain for supervising work as well as receiving and delivering questionnaires, maps, sample lists in addition to other forms used for management and quality control. Re-interview Field visits Weighting was based on self weighting design sample The data processing stage consisted of the following operations: Editing before data entry All questionnaires were edited again using the same instructions adopted for editing in the field. Data Entry In this stage data were entered to the computer, using a data entry template written in BLAISE The data entry program has satisfied many requirements such as: The duplication of the questionnaire on the computer screen. Logical and consistency checking of data entered. Possibility for internal editing of questions answers. Maintaining a minimum of digital data entry and field work errors. A User- Friendless Possibility of transferring data into another format to be used and analyzed using other statistical analytical systems such as SAS and SPSS.
