    Description

    Countries from Natural Earth 50M scale data with a Human Development Index attribute, repeated for each of the following years: 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, & 2013, to enable time-series display using the YEAR attribute. The Human Development Index measures achievement in 3 areas of human development: long life, good education and income. Specifically, the index is computed using life expectancy at birth, Mean years of schooling, expected years of schooling, and gross national income (GNI) per capita (PPP $). The United Nations categorizes the HDI values into 4 groups. In 2013 these groups were defined by the following HDI values: Very High: 0.736 and higher High: 0.615 to 0.735 Medium: 0.494 to 0.614 Low: 0.493 and lower

    Human Development Index attributes are from The World Bank: HDRO calculations based on data from UNDESA (2013a), Barro and Lee (2013), UNESCO Institute for Statistics (2013), UN Statistics Division (2014), World Bank (2014) and IMF (2014).

    The E-Government Development Index presents the state of E-Government Development of the United Nations Member States. Along with an assessment of the website development patterns in a country, the E-Government Development index incorporates the access characteristics, such as the infrastructure and educational levels, to reflect how a country is using information technologies to promote access and inclusion of its people. The EGDI is a composite measure of three important dimensions of e-government, namely: provision of online services, telecommunication connectivity and human capacity.

    Description

    This study explores the relationship between human development and market institutions and tests the performance of three alternative economic perspectives that each assign a different role to governments. Based on a sample of 34 OECD countries plus Russia across a time frame spanning 1990 to 2018, the results demonstrate that economic freedom and small size of government do not significantly affect human development as measured by the Human Development Index. Hence, we find no support for the free-market ideal. Conversely, it is found that human development is positively related to governmental interventions that aim to reduce externalities (public expenditure on education and environmental regulation). These results support the perfect-market perspective. With respect to the welfare-state perspective, the findings are mixed. On the one hand, we found that (some) labor market regulations (particularly hiring and firing regulations, hours regulations and mandated cost of worker dismissal) have a negative impact upon human development. On the other hand, human development is shown to be positively affected by governmental intervention seeking to reduce gender stratification in the labor market.

    Liberia
    Description

    Liberia is one of the poorest countries, ranking 180th out of the 190 countries in the World Bank’s development database. Based on the national poverty line, 59 percent of Liberians were poor in 2016, the latest year for which household survey data is available. According to World Bank estimations, about 6 out of 10 Liberians continue to live in poverty. Broader welfare measures tell a similar story: Liberia ranked 177th out of 193 countries on the UN Human Development Index and the UN Gender Inequality Index in 2022. Low human development is exemplified by Liberia’s score of 0.32 on the World Bank’s measure of human capital, suggesting that a newborn child will only reach 32 percent of their potential productivity as an adult under current conditions of healthcare and education. Poverty is more prevalent in rural areas, and its incidence increases with distance from the capital, Monrovia, highlighting Liberia’s severe spatial challenges. Rapid population growth, deforestation, and the accelerating impacts of climate change are degrading the country’s abundant natural capital, a dynamic which, in turn, is increasingly tied to the persistence of poverty. Pervasive food insecurity contributes to the high rate of child stunting and to malnutrition more generally. Inadequate sanitation heightens the risk of communicable disease.

    Description

    Abstract

    The objectives of the survey were to provide information regarding the following: a. Household use of, and expenditure patterns for, social services; b. Reasons for low levels of household investment in education and health services for children; c. The distribution of the benefits of public spending for social services and how to improve targeting; d. Households' evaluation of the social services available to them; e. The potential for demand-side interventions to increase human capital investment directly (especially for girls and the poor); and f. The feasibility of repeated national monitoring surveys to assess the impact of future Bank and government projects in the social sectors, and to increase Tanzania's capacity to perform household survey work.

    Kind of data

    Sample survey data [ssd]

    Sampling procedure

    Sample size is 5,184 households

    The HRDS is national in scope and uses all the 222 clusters of the National Master Sample (NMS) maintained by the Bureau of Statistics as its sampling frame.4 Two NMS clusters were not surveyed because of weather conditions. For example, Nyamburi village in the Mara region was inaccessible. Heavy rains had washed away a bridge 8 kms (14 miles) from the village. All household surveys conducted by the Bureau of Statistics (e.g. Agricultural Sample Survey since 1986/87, Labor Force Survey in 1990/91) have used the framework of the NMS. This permits obtaining estimates at the national level and by area: rural, Dar es Salaam (DSM), and other urban towns. The current NMS covers 222 clusters: 100 rural villages representing the rural areas, and 122 Enumeration Areas (EAs) representing the urban areas. Fifty-two EAs are from the capital city, itself, 40 EAs are from the nine municipalities (Arusha, Dodoma, Moshi, Tanga, Morogoro, Iringa, Mbeya, Tabora, and Mwanza), and 10 EAs are from the remaining regional headquarters.

    Selection of households and non-response.

    Household selection was done in the field. In each cluster the team supervisor would first obtain the list of ten-cell leaders from the local authorities, and then, from each ten cell-leader, the list of households belonging to his/her cell. Each household was assigned a unique number, and then, using a table of random numbers, randomly selected. In each cluster, a list of about 30 households was then obtained, the last households in the list being alternates. With the collaboration of local authorities, the field workers were able to have an almost 100 percent reponse rate, except for the cases in which no member of the household was present for intervieing, and returning to the household was not feasible. Refusals to cooperate were rare. In those cases--absent households or refusals--, new households were drawn from the list of alternates.

    The survey covered a total of 4,953 households in the 20 regions of Mainland Tanzania: 2,135 rural and 2,818 urban (see Table 1). In a second stage, the survey was extended to Zanzibar, where 230 households, in 24 clusters, were interviewed.

    Research instrument

    Development of Survey Instrument.

    The first draft of the household survey was developed in English in July, 1993. Training of enumerators, based on this draft, began on August 2, 1993. The month of August was devoted to training the enumerators and pre-testing the questionnaire. The first pre-test of the questionnaire took place in mid-August. The household questionnaire was almost completely precoded to eliminate coding errors and time delays. A category labeled "other: specify" was added to several questions. For those questions for which answers were not mutually exclusive, we precoded them with letters, rather than numbers, to allow for unambiguously coding of multiple answers. To minimize nonsampling errors, the questionnaire was in a form that reduced to a minimum the number of decisions required of interviewers while in the field. In anticipation of pages becoming detached from the questionnaire, every page contained a space for the household number and the last digit of the cluster code. Despite the fact that questions were written exactly as they were supposed to be asked by the interviewer, interviewers were granted some flexibility to give the interview greater semblance to a conversation, rather than an inquisition.

    Pre-Test of Questionnaire.

    The "pre-pre-test" of the questionnaire (August 16, 1993) was done only to discern whether the questions were understood, how long the administration of the survey required, whether all responses had been anticipated, which sections needed to be stressed during the training, etc. In this pre-pre-test, each questionnaire required an average of 4 hours to complete, far longer than the planned 1.5 hour maximum. The survey was consequently shortened and streamlined.

    The true pre-test was conducted in two different types of clusters: Ubungo ward in DSM (urban) and Kibaha in the Coast Region (rural) over a period of two days. We chose these clusters because they are representative of two distinct groups, so a broader spectrum of answers and problems with the instrument could be anticipated. In the pre-test each questionnaire required an average of 2.5 hours. After a couple weeks of interviewing, the enumerators became more familiar with the instrument, resulting in their spending an average of 1.5 to 2 hours per questionnaire.

    During the pre-test, each supervisor was asked to comment on each interview. The supervisor was asked to pay special attention to questions that seemed to make the respondent uncomfortable, that the respondent had difficulty understanding, or that the respondent seemed to dislike. The supervisor also evaluated which sections seemed to go slowly, had the most difficult questions, or provided insufficient opportunity for a complete response.

    Revision of questionnaire.

    Given the results of the two pre-tests, several areas for improvement in the questionnaire were identified. Perhaps most importantly, the willingness-to-pay amounts were adjusted. The sample distributions of the maximum willingness-to-pay questions were analyzed, and, based on that analysis, we decided to change some of the values. For example, in the child spacing question, the "pay Tsh 1,000" responses unexpectedly accounted for a large share of the bids. Thus, we provided the option of paying more by introducing "pay Tsh 50,000" and "pay Tsh 25,000" as answer choices. For the other contigent valuation sections--health and education--the first pre-test determined that there was also a large lumping of responses at the high end of the scale. We adjusted the ranges accordingly, although there remains some lumping at the high end in the final data.

    We also changed the order of the sections. Based on the pre-test and judgment of the field workers, we decided to first ask the questions in the individual section, then the contigent valuation questions, then the household questions. Because the respondents enjoyed the contigent valuation questions so much, this decision helped increase interest in the questionnaire and re-energized the respondent before proceeding with the household questions--the last part of the questionnaire. The final survey instrument, incorporating all of the changes dictated by the pre-tests and other expert advice, was completed on September 12, 1993.

    Translation.

    Translation of the survey instrument was a joint effort of the enumerators and supervisors. Given the specific characteristics of the Kswahili language, this was a much better approach than asking one translator to translate from English to Kswahili, and another one to translate from Kswahili to English. The "group" translation, involving those who would ask the questions, was intended to avoid different interpretations of the same question and achieve uniformity. In this way the enumerators were able to better convey the message/objective of each question.

    The majority of the interviews were conducted in swahili. In very few cases, because no one in the selected household could speak swahili, the need arose to use interpreters.

    Our initial plan called for the field work to start no later than August 29. However, unforeseen circumstances, including both financial and logistical problems, delayed the first field trip. Both the money and the materials were available by September 6, and five of the six teams left for Tanga region on that day. Initially we had planned to have the sixth team based full-time in Dar es Salaam; however, tighter time constraints imposed by the above and subsequent delays eventually made it necessary to send the sixth team into the field as well, as detailed below.

    Description of questionnaires

    The main objective of the survey was to obtain data on the use of, and spending on, the social sectors. The primary emphasis was on education and health--the areas in which the major gaps in availability of data were identified. The survey was divided into five major components, each of which was further subdivided, as described below:

    Description

    The HCI Lower Bound reflects uncertainty in the measurement of the components and the overall index. It is obtained by recalculating the HCI using estimates of the lower bounds of each of the components of the HCI. The range between the upper and lower bound is the uncertainty interval. While the uncertainty intervals constructed here do not have a rigorous statistical interpretation, a rule of thumb is that if for two countries they overlap substantially, the differences between their HCI values are not likely to be practically meaningful.

Description

Countries from Natural Earth 50M scale data with a Human Development Index attribute, repeated for each of the following years: 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, & 2013, to enable time-series display using the YEAR attribute. The Human Development Index measures achievement in 3 areas of human development: long life, good education and income. Specifically, the index is computed using life expectancy at birth, Mean years of schooling, expected years of schooling, and gross national income (GNI) per capita (PPP $). The United Nations categorizes the HDI values into 4 groups. In 2013 these groups were defined by the following HDI values: Very High: 0.736 and higher High: 0.615 to 0.735 Medium: 0.494 to 0.614 Low: 0.493 and lower

Human Development Index attributes are from The World Bank: HDRO calculations based on data from UNDESA (2013a), Barro and Lee (2013), UNESCO Institute for Statistics (2013), UN Statistics Division (2014), World Bank (2014) and IMF (2014).
