Abstract

Objective: This paper describes the new Sudan Labor Market Panel Survey (SLMPS) 2022, the first nationally representative survey in Sudan in almost a decade.

Methods: The paper details the design of the survey, including the topics covered by this multipurpose household survey and the complexities of the sampling strategy, which over-sampled refugees and the internally displaced. The training, fieldwork, resulting sample, and weights are described.

Contribution: The rich, publicly available data of the SLMPS provide substantial opportunities for researchers to better understand the evolution of Sudan's labor market, economy, and society.
