Abstract

The primary purpose of the Harmonized Host and Refugee Labor Market Survey (HHR-LMS) in Uganda is to provide information relevant for studying the impact of forced displacement on labor market outcomes for host communities, both among Ugandan nationals and refugees. The survey aims to obtain detailed information that helps explore labor market outcomes for host and refugee communities living side by side and engaging in shared labor market settings.

Geographic coverage

The survey covers three locations in Uganda: Kampala, Isingiro district, and the Nakivale refugee settlement.

Analysis unit

Household or respondent, depending on survey module.

Universe

The survey covered all de jure households excluding prison, hospitals, military barracks and school dormitories. It includes both national and refugee households.

Kind of data

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

The sampling design included 265 initial enumeration areas selected using probability proportionate to size with the number of households used as a measure of size. The enumeration areas were select-ed based on the sample frame constructed during the 2014 population census of Uganda. The Ugan-dan Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) conducted the selection of the EAs and provided their list along with detailed maps of the areas.

Using maps of the selected enumeration areas provided by UBOS, the study team conducted the list-ing of all households in the selected EAs with door-to-door visits. The listing exercise was carried out during November 2021-January 2022 by a team of local field workers recruited and trained for this purpose.

In Kampala city, in addition to a traditional PPS sample, we employed adaptive cluster sampling (ACS) (Thomson 1997; Thomson and Seber 1996) to capture a sufficient number of refugee house-holds. Using the listing of households in the initial 150 clusters in Kampala, the survey team identified those EAs that have 10 percent or more refugee households and conducted the listing of all of their neighbors. This resulted in listing additional 49 clusters that are identified as neighbors to these initial clusters. The exercise served as a basis for selection of both refugees and national households in Kampala.

In general, the sample design is a two-stage sample, with EAs first selected randomly for listing, followed by random selection of households from the listing. There is an extra third stage of choosing individuals randomly selected in households (RSI). Within each household, one person is selected at random (RSI) from the list of eligible members: persons aged between 18 and 65 years old in a national household; or refugees aged between 18 and 65 years old in a non-national household.

Sampling deviation

Response rate

According to Cognitive Market Research, the global software development services market size was USD 402.9 billion in 2022 and will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.50% from 2023 to 2030. Market Dynamics of Software Development Service Market

Key Drivers of Software Development Service Market

Rapid Digital Transformation Across Industries

Organizations across sectors—from healthcare and finance to retail and education—are undergoing accelerated digital transformation. This creates strong demand for custom software development to modernize legacy systems, automate workflows, and improve customer engagement. The shift to digital-first operations is making software development services a strategic investment priority for businesses globally.

Growing Demand for Cloud-Based and SaaS Solutions

The widespread adoption of cloud computing and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) models is fueling the need for scalable, secure, and flexible software solutions. Businesses are increasingly outsourcing development services to build cloud-native applications and platforms that support remote work, global access, and real-time data processing.

Rising Adoption of Emerging Technologies

The integration of advanced technologies such as AI/ML, blockchain, IoT, and AR/VR into business applications is driving demand for specialized software development services. Clients are looking for vendors with niche expertise to help them innovate, optimize operations, and enhance user experiences with next-gen tech capabilities.

Restraints of Software Development Service Market

Talent Shortage and Rising Labor Costs

There is a global shortage of skilled software developers, especially those with expertise in cutting-edge technologies. This drives up labor costs and limits the ability of service providers to scale quickly. Smaller firms may also struggle to retain talent in the face of intense competition from tech giants and startups.

Concerns Over Data Security and IP Protection

Outsourcing software development often involves sharing sensitive business data and intellectual property. Concerns over cybersecurity risks, IP theft, and data privacy compliance (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) can deter businesses from fully outsourcing or offshoring development work, especially in highly regulated industries.

Key Trends of Software Development Service Market

Rise of Low-Code and No-Code Development Platforms

To accelerate deployment and reduce dependency on scarce technical talent, businesses are increasingly turning to low-code and no-code platforms. This trend is reshaping how software services are delivered, with providers now offering consulting, customization, and integration support for these platforms instead of building from scratch.

Shift Toward Agile and DevOps Practices

Clients now expect faster delivery cycles and more flexible development models. This is leading to widespread adoption of Agile methodologies and DevOps frameworks, which improve collaboration, automate testing and deployment, and ensure continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD).

Increasing Demand for Vertical-Specific Software Solutions

There is a growing preference for industry-tailored software, such as fintech platforms, healthtech apps, and edtech tools. Service providers that can offer domain-specific knowledge along with technical expertise are seeing higher demand as businesses seek more targeted and efficient solutions. Introduction of Software Development Services

Software development services (SDS) encompass a wide array of services that assist businesses in the creation, maintenance, and enhancement of their software applications. These services can be rendered by internal teams. This process involves the development of brand-new software applications from the ground up. Software development services encompass a wide range of offerings provided by vendors in the market. This delivery model involves hosting software and its associated data centrally, allowing clients to access it through a web browser.

These developments empower businesses to offer better-tailored solutions and services, which, in turn, contribute to the growth of the Software Development Service industry.
