1 Page 1 Euro-Mediterranean Statistical Co-operation Programme Contract: ENPI/2010/ Report of the TA mission to the occupied Palestinian territory Support to PCBS on the National Migration Survey Ramallah, September 2010 From: Youssef Courbage (INED, MEDSTAT III STE) Revisions: Giambattista Cantisani (MEDSTAT III Key Expert), Eurostat, PCBS To: PCBS, EUROPEAID, EUROSTAT, MEDSTAT III Project, MED-HIMS Coordination Version: Final Date: 3 December 2010 Introduction At the request of the PCBS and MEDSTAT III, the author of this report undertook a mission in Ramallah (opt) on September 2010 in order to support the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) on the National Migration Survey recently undertaken. The mission had the following main objectives: 1. Studying the survey methodology and tools 2. Supporting the documentation of the survey 3. Evaluating the quality of survey results 4. Preparing the list of main indicators and tables recommended to be disseminated in the main finding report During the mission the expert worked closely with Mohammad Duraidi, National Coordinator for the Migration Sector, and other PCBS staff involved in the preparation and implementation of the migration survey. In addition, he had regular meetings with the higher PCBS officers. 1. Studying survey methodology and tools The Palestinian survey has been essentially based on the model survey methodology and questionnaires finalized by MEDSTAT II following the last joint regional workshop on developing Model Questionnaires for Coordinated Household International Migration Surveys in the Mediterranean Countries (MED-HIMS) held in Marrakech in September-October 2009 back-to-back to the IUSSP Conference. The idea, which was often discussed in the working groups in MEDSTAT II, on ways to capture the emigration of entire families since the beginning of the reference period, was partly taken into account in the present Palestinian survey, although it has been abandoned by MEDSTAT II, since there was not unanimity in the working groups on this question, which raises difficult methodological questions, in interviewing neighbours or first degree relatives. Hence the currently available Model Questionnaires did not cover this possibility.
2 Page 2 All out-migrants from the household were recorded in the household questionnaire and those aged 15 years and over, who left since 2000 were surveyed in-depth through head of household in the household to which the out-migrant belongs, in the individual questionnaire for out-migrant. Return migrants from abroad were also recorded in the household questionnaire and those who were 15 years and over and who returned since 1990, were surveyed in the individual questionnaire for return migrant. Concerning the non-migrants, the surveys aimed to all non-migrant individuals aged years at time of data collection and those who returned after 1990 and were aged below 15 years at the time of return. Individuals were chosen randomly. The size of the sample is in conformity with the recommendations of the MEDSTAT II mission undertaken in October 2008, i.e. some households, in the West Bank and in the Gaza Strip. Coverage: the survey has been completed in the West Bank and by the end of the mission the whole questionnaires of the Gaza strip have been already coded. Hence the coverage of the whole opt is complete. The non-response rate was low: about 2-3% only on average, almost 0% in rural areas. It was higher in East -Jerusalem (around 7-8%) and Ramallah (4-5%). The sampling did not raise particular difficulties due to the fact that it was based on a recent 2007 census, and to the accumulated experience of PCBS on field surveys based on samples. The budget was very reasonable, around USD instead of the planned USD during the October 2008 mission. Manuals of 90 pages, available for enumerators (in Arabic) and supervisors (same with few additional pages) were prepared, explaining in detail all the steps of the survey: objectives, users, sampling. The questionnaire of the survey was pre-tested in the field on 150 households and was duly amended, for modalities of answer namely as well as the manual in February Supporting the documentation of the survey A comparison between the currently available MED-HIMS Model Questionnaires (MQ) and its application to the Palestinian case has been made during the mission. Going through the questionnaire of the survey (MED-HIMS MQs, available in English) and the questionnaire of the migration survey in opt (in Arabic), slight differences appeared in the number and nature of questions. In fact, as a result of the work carried out by the National Technical Committee of the survey, some questions were added, adapted or deleted. Essentially this adaptation was made in order to take into account: - The specificity of the Palestinian migration patterns - The study of internal migration in addition to international migration - A simplification since the questionnaire was sometimes too long to administer. In some households where a lot of out-migrants or return migrants were recorded (a whole day was sometimes necessary, with a revisit to the household the day after!). Hence some 9 questions out of ten of the model questionnaire have been kept in the Palestinian survey from the original MED-HIMS questionnaire. Two parts were not kept: the MQ-6 on the community level questionnaire (which was only made as an outline without the detailed questions) and the module on forced migration (suggested by UNHCR during the Marrakech meeting).
3 Page 3 For the general MQ1, only slight minor changes were introduced, for conformity with the other Palestinian surveys. A question was added on refugee status, citizenship (slightly modified), past residence (for the study of internal migration), level of education (slightly modified). Let us recall that migrants are defined in the Palestinian survey as those who left for 6 months or more. Emphasis is put on those who left since year 2000 and are presently aged 15 years and above. For returnees, reference period is 1990 and later and age at return 15 years and above. The Palestinian MQ1 questionnaire has innovated in allowing immediate identification of the number of persons eligible to the out-migrant questionnaire and those eligible to the return migrant one. The MED-HIMS MQ-5 on socio-economic conditions has been integrated in the MQ1 questionnaire and the number of questions has been reduced: cooking, drinking water, sanitation, waste disposal, type of road and drainage are not mentioned. Ownership of objects has been reduced from 41 items to 19. For MQ2, the questionnaire on out-migrants, a question on religion was added, while questions on citizenship at birth, current citizenship that of the country of residence were deleted or adapted, asking whether the migrant carries the citizenship of the destination country, seeks to obtain it, or carries other citizenship. Questions on capacity to read and write a letter, language spoken at home during childhood were deleted (since the answers are non relevant in Palestine). Questions on year of first marriage, age at marriage, multiple marriages, divorce and separation, nationality of spouse, polygamy, number of children ever born and surviving and still alive, own children, number of children at the first move, were deleted. Questions on recruiters, contract, and expectations for work were deleted. Question on preference of another country at first move was removed. For MQ3 on return migrants the whole sections 2 and 3 on return migrant s background, on marital status and reproduction were removed. Based on the results of pilot survey and upon decision of the National Technical Committee, questions on major activity of the place of work, reason to choose other country to move and decision in the household. The question on amounts of money taken with him when the return migrant left was deleted. For MQ4, the individual questionnaire for non-migrant, questions of section 1 on non-migrant s background, section 2 on work history were removed. Questions were added on detention and on presence of relatives of 1 st degree abroad and their place of residence. The section on marital status and reproduction was deleted. 3. Evaluating the quality of survey results Several tables were prepared during this mission for evaluating the quality of survey results. The tables are here listed in Annex 2, sections A and B. Hence, for the West Bank a table giving the time series of the number of out-migrants and of return outmigrants and the net emigration including the rates, has shown very plausible results on the magnitude and timing of migration movements in the opt.
4 Page 4 Age sex structure of the West Bank has shown very likely results in terms of age composition (and fertility rate through the reverse survival method) and sex ratios as far as they are affected by differential migration streams by sex. By single years of age there appears to be no significant age-heaping at 0 and 5 at least for youngsters and adults. Evaluation of tables on characteristics of migrants, return migrants, non-migrants: age sex, religion, citizenship (including dual), acquisition of citizenship, level of education, work etc. yielded good results with low non-response rates. Particular attention was paid also to evaluate the answers to the questions on transfers. Indeed non response rate for out-migrants -recall that answers were provided by the household member and not the emigrant himself- was higher than for demographic or socio-economic questions but not particularly high. Therefore, these tables will be very significant to assess the impact of migration, whether the migrant is still abroad or returned on the household living conditions. However for the questions involving amounts of the transfers, the situation is more complex: difficulty to assess precisely the amounts if emigration happened long time ago, errors of memory, under or over estimation of the amounts Besides, adequate rate of conversions should be determined since the answer are in Jordanian dinars, shekels, US dollars and euros. 4. List of main indicators and tables In accordance with the objectives of the mission, the expert has contributed to the definition of the main indicators and tables for the public dissemination on the Palestinian survey results. Two provisional lists of tables were produced, one for the press report (including 35 tables) and one for the main findings report (120 tables). The complete lists of these tables are here within Annex 2, respectively in Section C and Section D. 5. Other work and meetings In addition to the above, the mission has allowed launching the preparation of a documentation report on the Palestinian migration survey to be prepared in view of the sector task force. During the mission, a meeting with representative of the Abu Lughod Institute of International Studies, Program on Refugees and Forced Migration of the BirZeit University was held at PCBS to discuss the possibilities of undertaking further common research studies on Palestinian international migration. During a meeting at the EU Technical Assistance Office to the opt in Jerusalem, the idea of collaboration between PCBS and Bir Zeit University for further analysis and research studies based on the survey on international migration was warmly welcomed. 6. Conclusions To sum up, the experience of the Palestinian international survey is very positive, with a complete coverage of the whole territory: West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza, a large sample of households, a limited budget and a very comprehensive questionnaire and low non-response rates. Besides, the deadlines are well respected with the main report to be prepared by the end of the year and steps taken for further analysis and research studies with the participation of the universities. This first experience in the Mediterranean region and the Arab world deserves to be largely diffused, namely to the participating countries of the MEDSTAT III Programme willing to undertake a similar international migration survey in their own country. Hence, the Palestinian statisticians and demographers
5 Page 5 involved in this survey should be encouraged to participate in training their counterparts of other MEDSTAT III countries, namely by explaining the concepts, methodology, planning, etc. and especially the adaptation of the questionnaire after this important experience recently undertaken in the field. This diffusion of this very first experience can be done through missions of the Palestinian statisticians to the MEDSTAT countries interested in their experience, or by regional workshops where the Palestinian experience would be presented and analyzed.
