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. \n \nThe data from the second wave of the Ghana Socioeconomic Panel Survey covered a sample of 4,774 households containing 16,356 household members. The second wave was unique in the sense that it tracked movement of households as well as individual within a household. Thus increasing the number of households in the Panel Study due to the nature of the design; tracking wholly moved and split households. A total of 5484 households were selected for the survey comprising of 5009 households from the baseline survey and 475 households from split of households created of which 4774 households were successfully interviewed.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2013","end":"2010","cycle":"Wave 2"}],"nation":[{"name":"Ghana","abbreviation":"gha"}],"geog_coverage":"The survey provides regionally representative data for the 10 regions of Ghana.","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.

In all 85 candidates were recruited for the training. This is made up of 20 Supervisors and 65\nInterviewers. Recruitment was done with careful consideration for language proficiency and diversity. Consideration was also given to experience in the conduct of household surveys and especially participation in previous ISSER surveys as well as knowledge in Information and Communication Technology (ICT).\n\nEighteen teams were involved in the data collection. Each of the teams was made up of a Supervisor, and three Primary Interviewers. The Supervisor is responsible for conducting the community survey and collection of GPS data points of facilities and structures of various\ninstitutions. The Primary Interviewers conduct daily interviews with the household. The questionnaire was administered through CAPI technique. Each household was visited four times to complete an interview and each visit was expected to last a maximum of two hours. At the end of every interview encounter, until the last visit, the respondent is made to understand that there will be another visit to the household. This enabled the respondent to agree to an appointment with the interviewer."}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"contact":[{"name":"Ghana ACEIR Hub, ISSER","affiliation":"University of Ghana","email":"joanakwawu@gmail.com","uri":"www.isser.ug.edu.gh"}],"cit_req":"Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research.
