Abstract

This research was conducted in Georgia from June 19 to July 31, 2002, as part of the second round of the Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey. The objective of the survey is to obtain feedback from enterprises on the state of the private sector as well as to help in building a panel of enterprise data that will make it possible to track changes in the business environment over time, thus allowing, for example, impact assessments of reforms. Through face-to-face interviews with firms in the manufacturing and services sectors, the survey assesses the constraints to private sector growth and creates statistically significant business environment indicators that are comparable across countries.

The survey topics include company's characteristics, information about sales and suppliers, competition, infrastructure services, judiciary and law enforcement, security, government policies and regulations, bribery, sources of financing, overall business environment, performance and investment activities, and workforce composition.

Sampling procedure

The information below is taken from "The Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey - 2002. A brief report on observations, experiences and methodology from the survey" prepared by MEMRB Custom Research Worldwide (now part of Synovate), a research company that implemented BEEPS II instrument.

The general targeted distributional criteria of the sample in BEEPS II countries were to be as follows:

1) Coverage of countries: The BEEPS II instrument was to be administered to approximately 6,500 enterprises in 28 transition economies: 16 from CEE (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, FR Yugoslavia, FYROM, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia and Turkey) and 12 from the CIS (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan).

2) In each country, the sector composition of the total sample in terms of manufacturing versus services (including commerce) was to be determined by the relative contribution of GDP, subject to a 15% minimum for each category. Firms that operated in sectors subject to government price regulations and prudential supervision, such as banking, electric power, rail transport, and water and wastewater were excluded.

Eligible enterprise activities were as follows (ISIC sections): - Mining and quarrying (Section C: 10-14), Construction (Section F: 45), Manufacturing (Section D: 15-37) - Transportation, storage and communications (Section I: 60-64), Wholesale, retail, repairs (Section G: 50-52), Real estate, business services (Section K: 70-74), Hotels and restaurants (Section H: 55), Other community, social and personal activities (Section O: selected groups).

3) Size: At least 10% of the sample was to be in the small and 10% in the large size categories. A small firm was defined as an establishment with 2-49 employees, medium - with 50-249 workers, and large - with 250 - 9,999 employees. Companies with only one employee or more than 10,000 employees were excluded.

4) Ownership: At least 10% of the firms were to have foreign control (more than 50% shareholding) and 10% of companies - state control.

5) Exporters: At least 10% of the firms were to be exporters. A firm should be regarded as an exporter if it exported 20% or more of its total sales.

6) Location: At least 10% of firms were to be in the category "small city/countryside" (population under 50,000).

7) Year of establishment: Enterprises which were established later than 2000 should be excluded.

The sample structure for BEEPS II was designed to be as representative (self-weighted) as possible to the population of firms within the industry and service sectors subject to the various minimum quotas for the total sample. This approach ensured that there was sufficient weight in the tails of the distribution of firms by the various relevant controlled parameters (sector, size, location and ownership).

As pertinent data on the actual population or data which would have allowed the estimation of the population of foreign-owned and exporting enterprises were not available, it was not feasible to build these two parameters into the design of the sample guidelines from the onset. The primary parameters used for the design of the sample were: - Total population of enterprises; - Ownership: private and state; - Size of enterprise: Small, medium and large; - Geographic location: Capital, over 1 million, 1 million-250,000, 250-50,000 and under 50,000; - Sub-sectors (e.g. mining, construction, wholesale, etc).

For certain parameters where statistical information was not available, enterprise populations and distributions were estimated from other accessible demographic (e.g. human population concentrations in rural and urban areas) and socio-economic (e.g. employment levels) data.

Sampling deviation

The survey was discontinued in Turkmenistan due to concerns about Turkmen government interference with implementation of the study.

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

The current survey instruments are available: - Screener and Main Questionnaires.

The survey topics include company's characteristics, information about sales and suppliers, competition, infrastructure services, judiciary and law enforcement, security, government policies and regulations, bribery, sources of financing, overall business environment, performance and investment activities, and workforce composition.

Cleaning operations

Data entry and first checking and validation of the results were undertaken locally. Final checking and validation of the results were made at MEMRB Custom Research Worldwide headquarters.

Response rate

Overall, in all BEEPS II countries, the implementing agency contacted 18,052 enterprises and achieved an interview completion rate of 36.93%.

Respondents who either refused outright (i.e. not interested) or were unavailable to be interviewed (i.e. on holiday, etc) accounted for 38.34% of all contacts. Enterprises which were contacted but were non-eligible (i.e. business activity, year of establishment, etc) or quotas were already met (i.e. size, ownership etc) or to which “blind calls” were made to meet quotas (i.e. foreign ownership, exporters, etc) accounted for 24.73% of the total number of enterprises contacted.

Abstract

The STEP (Skills Toward Employment and Productivity) Measurement program is the first ever initiative to generate internationally comparable data on skills available in developing countries. The program implements standardized surveys to gather information on the supply and distribution of skills and the demand for skills in labor market of low-income countries.

The uniquely designed modules in the Employer Survey aim to assess the structure of the labor force; the skills (cognitive skills, behavior and personality traits, and job-relevant skills) currently being used; the skills that employers look for when hiring new workers; the propensity of firms to provide training (including satisfaction with education, training, and levels of specific skills) and the link between skills and compensation and promotion. The survey also captures background characteristics (size, legal form, industry, full time vs. non-standard employment and occupational breakdown), performance (revenues, wages and other costs, profits and scope of market), key labor market challenges and their ranking relative to other challenges, and job skill requirements of the firms being interviewed.

The questionnaire can be adapted to address a sample of firms in both informal and formal sectors, with varying sizes and industry classifications.

Cleaning operations

STEP Data Management Process:

1) Raw data is sent by the survey firm.

2) The World Bank (WB) STEP team runs data checks on the Questionnaire data. Comments and questions are sent back to the survey firm.

3) The survey firm reviews comments and questions. When a data entry error is identified, the survey firm corrects the data.

4) The WB STEP team again check to make sure the data files are clean. This might require additional iterations with the survey firm.

5) Once the data has been checked and cleaned, the WB STEP team computes the weights. Weights are computed by the STEP team to ensure consistency across sampling methodologies.

Response rate

An overall response rate of 53.6% was achieved in Georgia STEP Survey. Detailed distribution of responses by stratum can be found in the Georgia Employer Survey Weighting Procedure (Table 3), available as an external resource.

In the last few years, the television production industry has undergone a transformative period marked by a steady shift from traditional cable to online streaming. A sink in cable subscriptions and the emergence of online alternatives have increased competition among programming buyers to acquire top content. Yet the heightened degree of competition has contributed to a perceived climb in production quality and what some critics have labeled the newest “Golden Age of TV.” As consumers increasingly ditch cable for streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+, the industry is pivoting to meet this digital-first preference. Industry revenue is expected to have increased at a CAGR of 3.9% over the past five years and will reach an estimated $62.3 billion in 2025. Revenue has recovered from significant setbacks due to work stoppages induced in 2020 by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, industry-wide strikes caused another major disruption in 2023. Ultimately, revenue is set to incline 1.7% in 2025 as profit returns to positive. Streaming services have either bought or produced new content to attract and retain the consumers who have been increasingly dropping their cable packages. Although the cord-cutting trend has hurt revenue for cable providers and networks, the primary purchasers of TV content and production companies have benefited from the ensuing competition. Due to declining broadcast TV viewership and the proliferation of video options for consumers, TV networks have increased their investments in content that will attract viewers through websites, streaming services or on-demand platforms. Streaming giants have invested heavily in content, driving up production budgets and fostering fierce competition for quality programming. Also, tax incentives from states like Georgia and New Mexico have attracted countless productions, contributing significantly to local economies. There are several circumstances in this industry's favor going forward. For instance, given the growth of new TV platforms and the continued development of mobile app capability, content viewership rates are poised to climb. Streaming services boost the negotiating power of small TV production companies by enabling them to bypass broadcasters, which traditionally had significant leverage over content producers. Also, integrated TV production and distribution companies will have a direct channel to viewers as cable TV subscriptions gradually diminish. However, the outcome of the industry-wide strikes will lead to increased costs for TV producers in the coming years. Overall, industry revenue is expected to climb at a CAGR of 1.4% to reach an estimated $66.6 billion in 2030.
