SAMPLING

Sample Size Calculation Methodology The LFS is based on a stratified multi-stage design. Each district was treated as an independent domain, which was then stratified into urban/rural areas. At the first stage, smaller geographic regions or clusters were selected. The indicator used to determine the first stage sample size was the “female labour force participation rate” derived from the September 2017 LFS with a margin of error less than 20 percent for all districts. The sample size was calculated using the following formula: n^H = ( z^2* r (1-r)*deff*nrr)/[(e r)]^2 pñ) where n^H is the number of households required. A description of the parameters as well as the values used for the calcula
