The survey is meant to remedy a major constraint on the understanding of development in low-income countries - the absence of detailed, multi-level and long-term scientific data that follows individuals over time and describes both the natural and built environment in which the individuals reside. Most data collection efforts are short-term - carried out a one point in time; are limited in scope - collecting information on only a few aspects of the lives of the persons in the study; and when there are multiple rounds of data collection, individuals who leave the study area are dropped. This latter means that the most mobile people are not included in existing surveys and studies, perhaps substantially biasing inferences about who benefits from and who bears the cost of the development process. The goal of this project, which aims to follow all individuals, or a random subset, over time using a comprehensive set of survey instruments is thus to shed new light on long-run processes of economic development.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2018","end":"2019","cycle":"Wave 3"}],"nation":[{"name":"Ghana","abbreviation":"gha"}],"geog_coverage":"The survey is nationally representative","geog_unit":"The data is at the leve of district and community","analysis_unit":"Households and individuals","data_kind":"Sample survey data","notes":"The Household Questionnaire Part A collected on household members, including information on Non-resident Relatives and Spouses.\n\nThe Household Questionnaire Part B collected the following data:\n\nHousehold assets \u2013 Farm assets and financial assets\nAgricultural production - plot, land tenure, inputs, labor, harvest, crop stores and sales,\nNon-farm Household Enterprises-types, assets and finance, labor, revenue and expenses,\nHousehold health - Insurance, Anthropometry, Immunization, Activities of Daily Living,\nMiscellaneous Health, Health in the Past 2 Weeks, Health in Last 12 Month,\nWomen\u2019s health - fertility and power relations,\nMen\u2019s health \u2013 reproductive health and power relations,\nChildren\u2019s module-health, Digit Span test, Raven\u2019s Pattern Cognitive Assessment,\nPsychology and Social Networking \u2013 psychology, personality questions, social networking and information seeking,\nHousehold Consumption and Expenditure and\nHousing characteristics"},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research","abbreviation":"ISSER","affiliation":"University of Ghana"}],"coll_mode":"Face-to-face Interviews","research_instrument":"The Household Questionnaire for the survey was in two parts, A and B.
