The survey seeks to track the seven forms of work-related security comprising decent work, as well as highlighting people's aspirations and sense of social justice. Between 2000 and 2003, these surveys were conducted in 15 countries and in 2005 these were conducted in three countries: Namibia, Mozambique and Sri Lanka. Because the survey instrument was being developed during that time, and for budgetary reasons, the samples and survey design varied. In some countries, a national representative survey was conducted; in others, representative samples were drawn only from selected regions or from urban areas only.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2002-07","end":"","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"Ghana","abbreviation":"gha"},{"name":"","abbreviation":""}],"geog_coverage":"The survey covered Greater Accra and the Ashanti Region of Ghana","geog_unit":"The data is at the level of district and enumeration area","analysis_unit":"Units of analysis in the survey include households and individuals","universe":"The universe of the survey was household members aged 15-64","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"The surveys examine both objective and subjective elements of people's security.
