Abstract
At the micro level, the People's Security Survey (PSS), a household survey that 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. This survey instrument is the most experimental of the three major sources of information collected by the IFP|SES Programme. Between 2000 and 2003, 15 surveys were conducted and four are in process [Namibia, Mozambique, Sri lanka and Morocco]. Because of the fact that the instrument was being developed, 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. In Gujarat, India, a disproportionately large sample of women workers was chosen. And in Pakistan the sample was very specific, focusing only on workers in the transport sector in Karachi City.
