Initial household weights resulted from the product of the weight of the first stage and the weight of the second stage. The final household weights were obtained after adjustment of the initial weights with the household estimates for mid-2021 according to design strata (governorate, locality type).\n  \nWeights for ROSTER ( all individuals ) were file computed by following :\n1-\tadding the household weights (wh) for each person household which known as the primary weight of person.\n2-\tadjust the primary persons weights to be combatable with the total population at the middle 2021 on the levels: (region (West Bank ,Gaza Strip), sex (male, female), five-year age group (17 group).\n3-\tfinally we obtain the final person weight in each adjusted level, and getting the relative weight by dividing each person weight by the average of weights.\n\nWeights for (18+ year) file computed by following:\n1-\tadding the household weights (wh) for each person.\n2-\tWe calculate the primary person weight by multiplying (the household weight which the person belong to) and the # of person in the age group (18+ year ) by gender in the household which the person belong to.  \n3-\tadjust the primary persons weights to be combatable with the population persons size at the middle of 2021 by these adjusted levels: (region (West Bank ,Gaza Strip), gender (male, female), 14 age group (18-19, 20-24, ..,80+)).\n4-\tfinally we obtain the final person weight in each adjusted level which the person belong to.","cleaning_operations":"1.\tConcurrently with the data collection process, a weekly check of the data entered was carried out centrally and returned to the field for modification during the data collection phase and follow up.

This section includes the following:\n\n* Sampling Errors\nData of this survey are affected by sampling errors due to the use of a sample and not a complete enumeration for the target population. Therefore, certain differences are expected to appear in comparison with the real values obtained through censuses. Variance was calculated for the most important indicators. There is no problem at the level of dissemination of the mentioned estmiates at the national level and the level of governorates for both the West Bank and Gaza Strip.\n\n* Non-Sampling Errors \nNon-sampling errors are probable in all stages of the project, during data collection or processing. This is referred to as non-response errors, response errors, interviewing errors, and data entry errors. To avoid errors and reduce their effects, great efforts were made to train the fieldworkers intensively. They were trained on how to carry out the interview, what to discuss and what to avoid, through practical and theoretical training during the training course.\nAlso, data entry employees were trained on the entry program that was examined before starting the data entry process. Continuous contacts with the fieldwork team were maintained through regular visits to the field and regular meetings during the different field visits. Problems faced by fieldworkers were discussed to clarify issues and provide relevant instructions.\n\nThe implementation of the survey encountered non-response, where the case (household was not present at home) during the fieldwork visit become the high percentage of the non-response cases. The total non-response rate reached 11.7% which is very low once compared to the household surveys conducted by PCBS. The refusal rate reached 4.1% which is relatively low percentage compared to the household surveys conducted by PCBS, and the reason behind that is that the questionnaire was short and the experience of fieldworkers."}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"conf_dec":[{"txt":"General Statistics Law No. (5) for Year 2000\n\nArticle (17)\n1.
