Data DescriptionListening2Tajikistan is a phone-based high-frequency panel survey of households designed to
track the impact of the economic downturn in Russia on livelihoods in Tajikistan. The survey instrument includes questions on a variety of themes, including income, employment, migration, wellbeing, and services. The sample of 800 was drawn from a nationally representative face-to-face survey of 3000 households conducted in the spring of 2015, and fieldwork commenced in May 2015. Households were initially interviewed in 10-day intervals, moving to two-week intervals following the sixth wave of data collection. Responses reported in this note are weighted for representativeness and for non-response, and households that refused to participate (or otherwise drop out) were replaced with another household from the same primary sampling unit.
