The restrictions imposed by many countries in the world to combat the COVID-19 have presented huge challenges to data collection operations, particularly to household-based surveys when there is a massive increase in demand for information, including socio-economic impact of COVID-19.
The ILO, UNESCAP, and UNICEF are collaborating to organize this Stats Café session aiming to introduce existing guidelines to maintain data collection procedures, shed light on some practical aspects of mixing data collection modes and provide a platform for countries in the Asia-Pacific region to exchange their expertise and learn from each other.
This Stats Café session will cover:
- Surveys under lockdown: mixed mode designs and quality issues;
- Case of labour force surveys: current ILO guidance;
- MICS-PLUS under Pandemic situation;
- Q&A, discussions and way forward.
