Zambia Enterprise Skills Survey was conducted between May 9, 2016 and September 19, 2016 by the Enterprise Analysis Unit (DECEA) and the Education Global Practice (GEDDR) of the World Bank Group. The objective of the survey is to develop and test a methodological approach for a diagnostic of the composition and demand for skills and the relationship between skills (and/or skills constraints) and firm performance of selected economic sectors in Zambia. A detailed skills module was developed as part of a larger firm-level Enterprise Survey, collecting information, among others, on the characteristics of firms and their owners, innovation and export activities, and firm performance. The sample for the survey was selected using stratified random sampling, following a similar methodology used in the World Bank's Enterprise Surveys. The universe of inference, however, is different for Zambia Enterprise Skills Survey compared to standard Enterprise Surveys.
