Abstract

The STEP 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 Household Survey includes modules that measure the cognitive skills (reading, writing and numeracy), socio-emotional skills (personality, behavior and preferences) and job-specific skills (subset of transversal skills with direct job relevance) of a representative sample of adults aged 15 to 64 living in urban areas, whether they work or not. The cognitive skills module also incorporates a direct assessment of reading literacy based on the Survey of Adults Skills instruments. Modules also gather information about family, health and language.

Geographic coverage

The STEP survey was limited to the Urban Areas.

Analysis unit

The units of analysis are the individual respondents and households. A household roster is undertaken at the start of the survey and the individual respondent is randomly selected among all household members aged 15 to 64 included. The random selection process was designed by the STEP team and compliance with the procedure is carefully monitored during fieldwork.

Universe

The target population is defined as all non-institutionalized persons aged 15 to 64 (inclusive) living in private dwellings in the urban areas of the country at the time of the data collection. This includes all residents, except foreign diplomats and non-nationals working for international organizations.

Kind of data

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

The Philippines sample design is a 4-stage sample design. There was no explicit stratification but the sample is implicitly stratified by Urban Region. Implicit stratification was achieved by sorting the PSUs by Urban Region and selecting a systematic sample of PSUs.

• First Stage Sample: The primary sample unit (PSU) is a Barangay Segment. The first stage units were selected by the World Bank Survey Methodologist. Each PSU is uniquely defined by the sample frame variable ‘SEG#_BGY’, i.e., the Segment ID# within a Barangay. The sampling objective was to conduct interviews in 200 PSUs. In addition, 25 extra PSUs were selected for use in case it was impossible to conduct any interviews in one or more initially selected PSUs. (N.B. None of the 25 extra PSUs were required to be activated.)

• Second Stage Sample: The second stage sample unit (SSU) is a dwelling. The sampling objective was to obtain interviews at 15 dwellings within each selected PSU. The dwellings were selected in each PSU using a systematic random method.

• Third Stage Sample: The third stage sample unit is a household. The sampling objective is to select one household within each selected dwelling. The households are randomly selected with equal probability in each PSU. N.B. The Philippines firm indicated that all selected dwellings contained one household, i.e., there were no multiple household dwellings in the STEP sample.

• Fourth Stage Sample: The third stage sample unit was an individual aged 15-64 (inclusive). The sampling objective was to select one individual with equal probability from each selected household.

SAMPLE SIZE

The Philippines firm’s sampling objective is to obtain interviews from 3000 individuals in the urban areas of Philippines.

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

The STEP survey instruments include:

• Background Questionnaire developed by the WB STEP team

• Reading Literacy Assessment developed by Educational Testing Services (ETS).

All countries adapted and translated both instruments following the STEP Technical Standards: 2 independent translators adapted and translated the Background Questionnaire and Reading Literacy Assessment, while reconciliation was carried out by a third translator. The WB STEP team and ETS collaborated closely with the survey firms during the process and reviewed the adaptation and translation (using a back translation).

Cleaning operations

STEP Data Management Process:

1. Raw data is sent by the survey firm. All coding and scoring (of the Reading Literacy Assessment booklets) is carried out by the survey firms, following STEP Technical Standards. Training was provided to the survey firms at the start of the project.

2. The WB STEP team runs data checks on the Background Questionnaire data. ETS runs data checks on the Reading Literacy Assessment 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 and ETS check 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.

6. ETS scales the Reading Literacy Assessment data.

7. The WB STEP team merges the Background Questionnaire data with the Reading Literacy Assessment data and computes derived variables. Detailed information data processing in STEP surveys is provided in the "Guidelines for STEP Data Entry Programs", provided as an external resource.

Response rate

An overall response rate of 94.8% was achieved in the Philippines STEP Survey.

Sampling error estimates

A weighting documentation was prepared for each participating country and provides some information on sampling errors. All country weighting documentations are provided as an external resource.
