Abstract
The Rural Youth Migration and Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture survey in Senegal is implemented in collaboration with the National Agency for Statistics and Demography (ANSD) of Senegal in the regions of Matam and Kaolack. The survey represents an initiative by FAO and ANSD to fill the data and evidence gap in the field of rural migration and its links with agriculture and employment in rural areas.
The survey contains information on the dynamics and consequences of migration, social protection, the capacity of rural areas to create decent job opportunities for youth and to absorb new labour market entrants, the impact of remittances, and other transfers on employment dynamics, women's empowerment and food security.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The survey covers 67 primary sampling units, 39 of which are in the rural area of Kaolack and 28 in the rural area of Matam. The two regions were chosen for their distinctive migration patterns: Kaolack has a high rate of internal emigration; while Matam, has a high rate of international emigration. PSUs were randomly selected in each region (in rural areas), with probabilities being proportional to the size of the PSU (number of households per PSU). The household draw took place after listing all the households in each drawn PSU.
The listing provides all the information concerning the migration situation of each household. For the purposes of selecting households in the survey, five subgroups of households were identified in each PSU:
• Households with migrants receiving family allowance;
• Households with international migrants without family allowance;
• Households with internal migrants without family allowance;
• Households without migrants receiving family allowance;
• Households without migrants and without family allowance.
The number of households to be drawn varies according to the size of the subgroups. Overall, 999 rural households were interviewed with 10,380 migrant and non-migrant family members. The final sample includes 273 households with at least one international migrant, 354 households with an internal migrant but no international migrants, and 368 households with no current migrants.

Weighting
The household sampling weight is the inverse of the product of the sampling probabilities. The weight of an individual is obtained by multiplying the weight of the household by the number of household members.
