Israel's population is aging steadily, with the median age projected to rise from ** years in 2020 to ** years by 2050. This demographic shift reflects global trends of increasing life expectancy and declining birth rates, though Israel maintained a relatively young population compared to many developed nations. The country's unique religious and cultural makeup contributed to regional variations in age distribution, presenting both opportunities and challenges for policymakers. Which region has the oldest population? As of 2023, over a ******* of Israelis were under the age of 14 years. The largest age group in the country being ************** and below. Interestingly, significant regional differences existed within the country when it came to age distribution and aging. While the median age in the Jerusalem district was below **, Tel Aviv was the oldest region with an average age of over ** years, highlighting significant demographic variations across different areas. How does religion influence demographics? Religious affiliation played a role in Israel's age structure and demographics. Muslims are the youngest religious group with a median age of ** years, while Christians of Arab ethnicity are the oldest, at ** years. Jews, the largest religious-ethnic group, had a median age of almost ** years, but within the Jewish demographic, age and fertility varied greatly between people based on religiosity. These differences play a significant role in the country's population and future growth patterns.

In 2021, the largest group of Jerusalem residents registered with the social welfare department of the Ministry of Labor, Social Affairs and Social Services in Israel were those 0-14 years old with a share of **** percent. The second largest group registered with the authorities was those 15-24 years old with a share of **** percent. the group to have the smallest share of residents registered with the social welfare department in this city were those 64-74 years old with only *** percent.

Research instrument

A survey questionnaire the main tool for gathering information, so do not need to check the technical specifications for the phase of field work, as required to achieve the requirements of data processing and analysis, has been designed form the survey after examining the experience of other countries on the subject of social surveys, covering the form as much as possible the most important social indicators as recommended by the United Nations, taking into account the specificity of the Palestinian community in this aspect.

Cleaning operations

Data processing:

Input processing programs: Program is designed input beam programming Access, entry screens have been designed and auditing as well as the tests have been developed through automated checking the input and then cleaning the rules of programming questions and to examine variables at the level of form.

Data entry: After the completion of design input, testing and making sure readiness, started work on data entry and after the entrances have been trained to deal with the programs of the entry. Work began on the introduction of survey data as of 26/07/2010 until 28/11/2010. It was the number of entrances who worked on the introduction of statements 5 entrances at a minimum, where the number of employees to enter data commensurate with the flow of forms, note that the flow of the forms on the entry could not be uniform due to the difficulty of transportation because of security conditions, and was checking the forms returned from the entry of by the auditors to complete and re-adjusted and then re-entered its final form after their arrival from the field.

Check and clean the data: Been cleaned data queries run tests and adjust input errors immediately. And re-forms containing errors form to the project manager to deal with them. After the completion of the data entry process began work on the audit and examine the data as follows: 1. Check transitions, and allowed values. 2. Check compatibility and consistency between questions per section and the various departments, and this to us ? E logical relations. 3. Tests based on certain relationships between the different questions, so that was extracted list Balastmarat is matched, review and identify the source of a bug where, if found there are errors in the input was adjusted immediately, and if there are errors, the field was being converted to field work to re-visit again , and correct errors in form, have included the stage of data cleaning in two stages: the stage of cleaning the survey data in terms of consistency and logic and linked to age and date of birth, educational status and other per capita, and consistency of questions of each section of the form of households, while the second stage have included the examination of consistency between the results of Questions Social Survey 2010 and Social Survey of Jerusalem in 2005. Surveys and other surveys such as the impact of expansion and annexation wall on the population, 2008, as well as the Labour Force Survey - third quarter 2010.

Sampling error estimates

Data were collected in a manner that the survey sample and not Balhsr destruction, so she is exposed to two main types of errors. The first sampling errors (statistical errors), and the second non-statistical errors. It is intended that sampling errors of the errors resulting from sample design, so it is easy to measure, the contrast has been calculated and the effect of sample design.

The non-statistical errors are possible to occur in every stage of project implementation, through data collection, inserting, and mistakes can be summarized by the non-response, and response errors (surveyed), and the mistakes of the interview (the researcher) and data-entry errors. To avoid errors and reduce the impact it has made significant efforts through the training of researchers extensive training, and the presence of a group of experts in the concepts and terminology, medical / health, and training on how to conduct interviews, and the things that must be followed during the interview, and the things that should be avoided.

Have been trained on the data entry program entry, program, and were examined in order to see the picture of the situation and reduce any problems, there was constant contact between supervisors and checkers through ongoing visits and periodic meetings. In addition, has been drafting a set of circulars and instructions reminder to the team. Also been circulated answers to questions and problems faced by the researchers during the field work.

As for office work have been trained crew to check the special forms and field detection of errors, which greatly reduces the rates of errors that can occur during field work. In order to reduce the proportion of errors that can occur during entry form to the computer, the software is designed to entry so as not to allow any errors Tnasagah can get during the process of input and contains many of the conditions Logical, where they were loading the program the input of many tests on private answers each question in addition to the relations between the different questions and testing the other logical. This process has led to the disclosure of most of the errors that are not found in previous phases of work, where they were correct all errors that have been discovered.

Data were evaluated according to the following areas: 1. Definition of family members and how to register. 2. Demographic characteristics that have a relationship on Christmas. 3. Breakdown of the profession and activity.

Methods of assessment vary according to the data subject in this survey include the following: 1. Occurrences of missing values and Answers "other" and "Do not know" and examine inconsistencies between different sections or between the date of birth and other sections. Add to examine the internal consistency of the data as part of a logical data and completeness. 2. Compared to survey data with the results of surveys of the relationship and by the Central Bureau of Statistics Palestinian implementation.

Can be summarized as sources of some non-statistical errors that have emerged during the implementation of the survey including the following: Inability to meet the data in some cases the forms because of the lack of a home or be in the housing unit does not exist or are uninhabited and there are families not able to provide some data or refused to do so. Some families did not take the form subject very seriously affecting the quality of the data provided. Errors resulting from the method of asking the question by the researcher in the field.

Sampling error estimates

The sampling errors occur during the sample-based surveys but not in censuses as it is a comprehensive inventory of all agricultural holdings. These errors are easy to measure with the error point estimate also, since it is considered as an error in the sample.

Data appraisal

The non-sampling errors occur at any stage during the implementation of censuses and surveys. Therefore, it is necessary to provide for a data quality control system to ensure maximum accuracy. Many of these stages were used during the agriculture census planning and implementation where are-interview was carried out as follows:

• There are two models that were used to collect data and were uploaded to tablets. The first model is to enumerate households in all enumeration areas; in which the percentage of households that practiced an agricultural activity (according to the data of the Population, Housing and Establishments Census, 2017) is 5% or more, and the second model was used if the household had agricultural holdings.

• The enumerator visited Palestinian households in the enumeration areas in which the percentage of households that practiced agricultural activity (according to the data of the Population, Housing and Establishments Census, 2017) is less than 5%, so that the inventory model and the model prepared for agricultural holdings were if the tenure conditions were met.

In 2022, internal migration from Jerusalem to the orthodox city of Bet Shemesh accounted for 18.1 percent of all migration from the city that year. It was closely followed by migration to Tel Aviv-Yafo, which stood at 6.2 percent. In recent years, the city has taken on a more religious character. Many leisure and nightlife facilities in the town are closed on Saturdays for religious reasons; therefore, the municipality is becoming less appealing to non-religious people. In addition, a religious population leaves Jerusalem for other cities due to a higher cost of living. In the 2022 elections for the 25th Knesset in Israel, the ultra-religious party United Tora Judaism constituted the  most popular party  among the residents of Jerusalem. 

Jerusalem is still a leading tourist city 

While Jerusalem's popularity as a place to live is waning somewhat, the city is still a top tourist destination. Both international and domestic tourism are thriving in the city. In 2022, the  number of foreign guests in hotels in Jerusalem  reached over 673,000. This was a significant increase compared to the previous year. Tourists from abroad are interested in visiting the city due to its religious and historical importance, with sites sacred to many religions. In addition, the number of Israeli guests in hotels in Jerusalem  is also high. In the same year, 713,000 Israelis stayed in hotels in the city, a slight rise compared to 2021. Among the famous sites in the city are the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the Western Wall, and the Dome of the Rock.

In the 2022 elections for the **** Knesset in Israel, the political party with the largest share of votes in Jerusalem was United Tora Judaism, marked with the ballot letter G. The party received **** percent of the votes in the city, followed by the Likud and Shas parties with **** and **** percent, respectively. Although East Jerusalem's Arabs make up about ** percent of the city's population, they are barred from voting in Knesset elections, which may explain the low vote share for the Arab parties Hadash-Ta'al (one percent) and the United Arab List (*** percent).

Sampling procedure

Sampling Frame The sampling frame consists of master sample which were enumerated in the 2017 census. Each enumeration area consists of buildings and housing units with an average of about 150 households. These enumeration areas are used as primary sampling units (PSUs) in the first stage of the sampling selection.

Sample Size The sample size is 8,040 households.

Sampling Design The sample is three stages stratified cluster (pps) sample. The design comprised three stages: Stage (1): Selection a stratified sample of 536 enumeration areas with (pps) method. Stage (2): Selection a stratified random sample of 15 households from each enumeration area selected in the first stage. Stage (3): Selection one person of the (10 years and above) age group in a random method by using KISH TABLES.

Sample Strata The population was divided by: 1- Governorate (16 governorates, where Jerusalem was considered as two statistical areas) 2- Type of Locality (urban, rural, camps).

Mode of data collection

Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]

Field Editing and Supervising

• Data collection and coordination were carried out in the field according to the pre-prepared plan, where instructions, models and tools were available for fieldwork. • Audit process on the PC-Tablet is through the establishment of all automated rules and the office on the program to cover all the required controls according to the criteria specified. • For the privacy of Jerusalem (J1) data were collected in a paper questionnaire. Then the supervisor verifies the questionnaire in a formal and technical manner according to the pre-prepared audit rules. • Fieldwork visits was carried out by the project coordinator, supervisors and project management to check edited questionnaire and the performance of fieldworkers.

Data Processing

Programming Consistency Check The data collection program was designed in accordance with the questionnaire's design and its skips. The program was examined more than once before the conducting of the training course by the project management where the notes and modifications were reflected on the program by the Data Processing Department after ensuring that it was free of errors before going to the field.

Using PC-tablet devices reduced data processing stages, and fieldworkers collected data and sent it directly to server, and project management withdraw the data at any time.

In order to work in parallel with Jerusalem (J1), a data entry program was developed using the same technology and using the same database used for PC-tablet devices.

Data Cleaning After the completion of data entry and audit phase, data is cleaned by conducting internal tests for the outlier answers and comprehensive audit rules through using SPSS program to extract and modify errors and discrepancies to prepare clean and accurate data ready for tabulation and publishing.

Response rate

The response rate reached 83.7%.

Sampling error estimates

Sampling Errors Data of this survey affected by sampling errors due to use of the sample and not a complete enumeration. Therefore, certain differences are expected in comparison with the real values obtained through censuses. Variance were calculated for the most important indicators, there is no problem to disseminate results at the national level and at the level of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Non-Sampling Errors Non-Sampling errors are possible at all stages of the project, during data collection or processing. These are referred to non-response errors, response errors, interviewing errors and data entry errors. To avoid errors and reduce their effects, strenuous efforts were made to train the field workers intensively.

Abstract

The Consumer price surveys primarily provide the following: Data on CPI in Palestine covering the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Jerusalem J1 for major and sub groups of expenditure. Statistics needed for decision-makers, planners and those who are interested in the national economy. Contribution to the preparation of quarterly and annual national accounts data.

Consumer Prices and indices are used for a wide range of purposes, the most important of which are as follows: Adjustment of wages, government subsidies and social security benefits to compensate in part or in full for the changes in living costs. To provide an index to measure the price inflation of the entire household sector, which is used to eliminate the inflation impact of the components of the final consumption expenditure of households in national accounts and to dispose of the impact of price changes from income and national groups. Price index numbers are widely used to measure inflation rates and economic recession. Price indices are used by the public as a guide for the family with regard to its budget and its constituent items. Price indices are used to monitor changes in the prices of the goods traded in the market and the consequent position of price trends, market conditions and living costs. However, the price index does not reflect other factors affecting the cost of living, e.g. the quality and quantity of purchased goods. Therefore, it is only one of many indicators used to assess living costs. It is used as a direct method to identify the purchasing power of money, where the purchasing power of money is inversely proportional to the price index.

Kind of data

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

A non-probability purposive sample of sources from which the prices of different goods and services are collected was updated based on the establishment census 2017, in a manner that achieves full coverage of all goods and services that fall within the Palestinian consumer system. These sources were selected based on the availability of the goods within them. It is worth mentioning that the sample of sources was selected from the main cities inside Palestine: Jenin, Tulkarm, Nablus, Qalqiliya, Ramallah, Al-Bireh, Jericho, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Hebron, Gaza, Jabalia, Dier Al-Balah, Nusseirat, Khan Yunis and Rafah. The selection of these sources was considered to be representative of the variation that can occur in the prices collected from the various sources. The number of goods and services included in the CPI is approximately 730 commodities, whose prices were collected from 3,200 sources. (COICOP) classification is used for consumer data as recommended by the United Nations System of National Accounts (SNA-2008).

Mode of data collection

Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]

Research instrument

A tablet-supported electronic form was designed for price surveys to be used by the field teams in collecting data from different governorates, with the exception of Jerusalem J1. The electronic form is supported with GIS, and GPS mapping technique that allow the field workers to locate the outlets exactly on the map and the administrative staff to manage the field remotely. The electronic questionnaire is divided into a number of screens, namely: First screen: shows the metadata for the data source, governorate name, governorate code, source code, source name, full source address, and phone number. Second screen: shows the source interview result, which is either completed, temporarily paused or permanently closed. It also shows the change activity as incomplete or rejected with the explanation for the reason of rejection. Third screen: shows the item code, item name, item unit, item price, product availability, and reason for unavailability. Fourth screen: checks the price data of the related source and verifies their validity through the auditing rules, which was designed specifically for the price programs. Fifth screen: saves and sends data through (VPN-Connection) and (WI-FI technology).

In case of the Jerusalem J1 Governorate, a paper form has been designed to collect the price data so that the form in the top part contains the metadata of the data source and in the lower section contains the price data for the source collected. After that, the data are entered into the price program database.

Cleaning operations

The price survey forms were already encoded by the project management depending on the specific international statistical classification of each survey. After the researcher collected the price data and sent them electronically, the data was reviewed and audited by the project management. Achievement reports were reviewed on a daily and weekly basis. Also, the detailed price reports at data source levels were checked and reviewed on a daily basis by the project management. If there were any notes, the researcher was consulted in order to verify the data and call the owner in order to correct or confirm the information.

At the end of the data collection process in all governorates, the data will be edited using the following process: Logical revision of prices by comparing the prices of goods and services with others from different sources and other governorates. Whenever a mistake is detected, it should be returned to the field for correction. Mathematical revision of the average prices for items in governorates and the general average in all governorates. Field revision of prices through selecting a sample of the prices collected from the items.

Sampling error estimates

The findings of the survey may be affected by sampling errors due to the use of samples in conducting the survey rather than total enumeration of the units of the target population, which increases the chances of variances between the actual values we expect to obtain from the data if we had conducted the survey using total enumeration. The computation of differences between the most important key goods showed that the variation of these goods differs due to the specialty of each survey. The variance of the key goods in the computed and disseminated CPI survey that was carried out on the Palestine level was for reasons related to sample design and variance calculation of different indicators since there was a difficulty in the dissemination of results by governorates due to lack of weights. Non-sampling errors are probable at all stages of data collection or data entry. Non-sampling errors include: Non-response errors: the selected sources demonstrated a significant cooperation with interviewers; so, there wasn't any case of non-response reported during 2019. Response errors (respondent), interviewing errors (interviewer), and data entry errors: to avoid these types of errors and reduce their effect to a minimum, project managers adopted a number of procedures, including the following: More than one visit was made to every source to explain the objectives of the survey and emphasize the confidentiality of the data. The visits to data sources contributed to empowering relations, cooperation, and the verification of data accuracy. Interviewer errors: a number of procedures were taken to ensure data accuracy throughout the process of field data compilation: Interviewers were selected based on educational qualification, competence, and assessment. Interviewers were trained theoretically and practically on the questionnaire. Meetings were held to remind interviewers of instructions. In addition, explanatory notes were supplied with the surveys. A number of procedures were taken to verify data quality and consistency and ensure data accuracy for the data collected by a questioner throughout processing and data entry (knowing that data collected through paper questionnaires did not exceed 5%): Data entry staff was selected from among specialists in computer programming and were fully trained on the entry programs. Data verification was carried out for 10% of the entered questionnaires to ensure that data entry staff had entered data correctly and in accordance with the provisions of the questionnaire. The result of the verification was consistent with the original data to a degree of 100%. The files of the entered data were received, examined, and reviewed by project managers before findings were extracted. Project managers carried out many checks on data logic and coherence, such as comparing the data of the current month with that of the previous month, and comparing the data of sources and between governorates. Data collected by tablet devices were checked for consistency and accuracy by applying rules at item level to be checked.

Abstract

Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 2.1 commits countries to end hunger, ensure access by all people to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year around. Indicator 2.1.2, “Prevalence of moderate or severe food insecurity based on the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES)”, provides internationally-comparable estimates of the proportion of the population facing difficulties in accessing food. More detailed background information is available at https://www.fao.org/measuring-hunger/en.

The FIES-based indicators are compiled using the FIES survey module, containing eight questions. Two indicators can be computed:
1. The proportion of the population experiencing moderate or severe food insecurity (SDG indicator 2.1.2), 2. The proportion of the population experiencing severe food insecurity.

These data were collected by FAO through the Gallup World Poll. General information on the methodology can be found here: https://www.gallup.com/178667/gallup-world-poll-work.aspx. National institutions can also collect FIES data by including the FIES survey module in nationally representative surveys.

Microdata can be used to calculate the indicator 2.1.2 at national level. Instructions for computing this indicator are described in the methodological document available in the downloads tab. Disaggregating results at sub-national level is not encouraged because estimates will suffer from substantial sampling and measurement error.

Cleaning operations

Statistical validation assesses the quality of the FIES data collected by testing their consistency with the assumptions of the Rasch model. This analysis involves the interpretation of several statistics that reveal 1) items that do not perform well in a given context, 2) cases with highly erratic response patterns, 3) pairs of items that may be redundant, and 4) the proportion of total variance in the population that is accounted for by the measurement model.

Sampling error estimates

The margin of error is estimated as 3.5 percentage points. By adding and subtracting this value to the result, the confidence interval at 95% level is obtained. The margin of error was calculated assuming a reported outcome of 50% (giving the maximum sampling variability for that sample size) and takes into account the design effect.

Abstract

The Palestinian society's access to information and communication technology tools is one of the main inputs to achieve social development and economic change to the status of Palestinian society; on the basis of its impact on the revolution of information and communications technology that has become a feature of this era. Therefore, and within the scope of the efforts exerted by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics in providing official Palestinian statistics on various areas of life for the Palestinian community, PCBS implemented the household survey for information and communications technology for the year 2019. The main objective of this report is to present the trends of accessing and using information and communication technology by households and individuals in Palestine, and enriching the information and communications technology database with indicators that meet national needs and are in line with international recommendations.

Sampling procedure

Sampling Frame

The sampling frame consists of master sample which were enumerated in the 2017 census. Each enumeration area consists of buildings and housing units with an average of about 150 households. These enumeration areas are used as primary sampling units (PSUs) in the first stage of the sampling selection.

Sample size The estimated sample size is 8,040 households.

Sample Design The sample is three stages stratified cluster (pps) sample. The design comprised three stages: Stage (1): Selection of a stratified sample of 536 enumeration areas with (pps) method. Stage (2): Selection of a stratified random sample of 15 households from each enumeration area selected in the first stage. Stage (3): Selection of one person of the (10 years and above) age group in a random method by using KISH TABLES.

Sample Strata The population was divided by: 1- Governorate (16 governorates, where Jerusalem was considered as two statistical areas) 2- Type of Locality (urban, rural, refugee camps).

Mode of data collection

Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]

Research instrument

The survey questionnaire consists of identification data, quality controls and three main sections:

• Section I: Data on household members that include identification fields, the characteristics of household members (demographic and social) such as the relationship of individuals to the head of household, sex, date of birth and age.

• Section II: Household data include information regarding computer processing, access to the Internet, and possession of various media and computer equipment. This section includes information on topics related to the use of computer and Internet, as well as supervision by households of their children (5-17 years old) while using the computer and Internet, and protective measures taken by the household in the home.

• Section III: Data on Individuals (10 years and over) about computer use, access to the internet and possession of a mobile phone.

Programming Consistency Check The data collection program was designed in accordance with the questionnaire's design and its skips. The program was examined more than once before the conducting of the training course by the project management where the notes and modifications were reflected on the program by the Data Processing Department after ensuring that it was free of errors before going to the field.

Using PC-tablet devices reduced data processing stages, and fieldworkers collected data and sent it directly to server, and project management withdrew the data at any time.

In order to work in parallel with Jerusalem (J1), a data entry program was developed using the same technology and using the same database used for PC-tablet devices.

Data Cleaning After the completion of data entry and audit phase, data is cleaned by conducting internal tests for the outlier answers and comprehensive audit rules through using SPSS program to extract and modify errors and discrepancies to prepare clean and accurate data ready for tabulation and publishing.

Tabulation After finalizing checking and cleaning data from any errors. Tables extracted according to prepared list of tables.

Response rate

The response rate in the West Bank reached 77.6% while in the Gaza Strip it reached 92.7%.

Sampling error estimates

Sampling Errors Data of this survey can be affected by sampling errors due to use of the sample and not a complete enumeration. Therefore, certain differences are expected in comparison with the real values obtained through censuses. Variance were calculated for the most important indicators. There is no problem to disseminate results at the national level and at the level of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Non-Sampling Errors Non-Sampling errors are possible at all stages of the project, during data collection or processing. These are referred to as non-response errors, response errors, interviewing errors and data entry errors. To avoid errors and reduce their effects, strenuous efforts were made to train the field workers intensively. They were trained on how to carry out the interview, what to discuss and what to avoid, as well as practical and theoretical training during the training course.

The 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 17.5%. The refusal percentage reached 2.9% which is relatively low percentage compared to the household surveys conducted by PCBS, and the reason is the questionnaire survey is clear.
