1 FOREWORD Statistical data that reflect the socio-economic and demographic conditions of the residents of a country are useful for designing and preparation of development plans as well as for monitoring and evaluation of the impact of the implementation of the development plans. These statistical data include population size, age, sex, literacy and education, marital status, migration, fertility, mortality, housing stocks and conditions etc. In order to fill the gap for these socio-economic and demographic data need, Ethiopia has conducted its third National Population and Housing Census in the months of May and November 007. The 007 Population and Housing Census of Ethiopia was conducted under the auspices of the Population Census Commission that was established by a proclamation No. 9/997. The Commission is chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister and the members of the commission were drawn from various relevant Ministries, Regional State Representatives, House of Federation, National Electoral Board and the Central Statistical Agency, serving as the Office of the Census Commission (Secretariat). According to this proclamation, the processing, evaluation and analyses of the data collected in this census as well as its dissemination are the major responsibilities of this office. Hence, Statistical Reports of the Census for Amhara Region present results in four separate parts: Part I: Population Size and Characteristics; Part II: Educational Characteristics and Economic Activity Status; Part III: Population Dynamics (Migration, Fertility, & Mortality conditions of the population); and Part IV: Housing Characteristics and Conditions. Thus, the Office of the Population Census Commission is pleased to present the census report entitled The 007 Population and Housing Census of Ethiopia: Statistical Report for Amhara Region; Part II: Educational Characteristics and Economic Activity Status of the population for the users. Subsequently, another report which deals with detailed analysis of the result of the 007 Population and Housing Census data is in the process of being prepared and will also be prepared and printed soon. Before the conduct of a census enumeration a number of preparatory activities had been carriedout. Among the major census preparatory activities was the conduct of the Population and Housing Census Cartographic Work. During this census cartographic work urban and rural kebeles were sub-divided into enumeration areas, each having 0-00 housing units and

2 households, respectively. About - contiguous enumeration areas were made to form one supervision area. In this exercise for each enumeration and supervision area maps have been prepared. During the census enumeration, each enumerator was given a map of an enumeration area along with other census documents and he/she was responsible to record all persons and households in that enumeration area without omission and duplication. One supervisor was also assigned to a supervision area and was responsible for ensuring the quality of the information collected in the area of his/her jurisdiction. Unlike the previous censuses, in this census enumerators were primary school teachers while supervisors were secondary school teachers. It is to be noted that the Population and Housing Census is a huge nation wide operation which could not be undertaken by a single organization. Thus, full cooperation and assistance of government and non-government organizations, donor agencies and the general public have been obtained for the 007 Population and Housing Census. The office of the Population Census Commission is therefore, very grateful to the Government of Ethiopia for its huge financial and administrative supports. The office is also grateful to the development partners particularly; the United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA) and the Department for International Development (DFID) for their generous financial, logistics and technical supports. Thanks are also due to the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the Embassy of Japan, Italian Cooperation, United Nations Children s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), as well as the Dutch and Irish Governments for their substantial financial support. Finally, the office would like to express its appreciation for the elementary and secondary school teachers who participated in the data collection and supervision activities; the staff members of the Central Statistical Agency for their invaluable contributions throughout the census operations and also more importantly, the general public as well as the administrators at all levels, who were critical to the success of the census enumeration. The office hopes that the data contained in this part of the Statistical Report will be utilized by all data users for various development planning. ii Samia Zekaria Member and Secretary, Population Census Commission

5 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION This chapter presents an over view of the contents of the census report entitled The 007 Population and Housing Census of Ethiopia: Statistical Report for Amhara Region; Part II: Educational Characteristics and Economic Activity Status. This part presents the major statistical data on literacy status, school attendance, educational attainment, activity status, employment status, unemployment rate, occupational categories etc of the population that are essential to policy makers, planners, administrators, researchers and other data users in a table format. The statistical Report for the region has four parts. Other parts of the report include: Part I - Statistical Report on Population Characteristics; Part III - Statistical Report on Population Dynamics (Migration, Fertility and Mortality); and Part IV - Statistical Report on Housing Characteristics and Conditions. In Amhara Region the census has covered the then existing total number of,79 rural and urban Kebeles which were sub-divided into, enumeration areas. The May 007 Population and Housing Census was the third Population and Housing Census. The first Population and Housing Census was conducted in May 98 whereas the second Population and Housing Census of Ethiopia was conducted in October, 99. In this third Census, twenty eight of May, 007 was used as the census day or census reference day. The census has counted people on dejure and defacto basis. The dejure population comprises all the persons who belong to a given area at a given time by virtue of usual residence, while under defacto approach people were counted as the residents of the place where they found (Shryock et al., 97). In the census, a person is said to be a usual resident of a household (and hence an area) if he/she has been residing in the household continuously for at least six months before the census day or intends to reside in the household for six months or longer. Thus, visitors are not included with the usual (dejure) population. Homeless persons were enumerated in the place where they spent the night on the enumeration day. The 007 census counted foreign nationals who were residing in the region. On the other hand, all Ethiopians living abroad were not counted.

6 In this census, the questionnaires that were used to collect information were generally prepared in Amharic. However, English translation of the short questionnaires was used to collect data from the foreigners residing in Amhara Region. In the census two types of questionnaires were used: i) Short Questionnaire (Appendix II) and ii) Long Questionnaire (Appendix III) Unlike the previous censuses, the contents of the short and long questionnaires were similar both for the urban and rural areas as well as for all regions. But the short and the long questionnaires differ by the number of variables they contained. That is, the short questionnaire was used to collect basic data on population characteristics such as population size, sex, age, language, ethnic group, religion, disability and orphanhood. Whereas, the long questionnaire includes information on marital status, education, economic activity, migration, fertility, mortality, as well as housing characteristics and conditions in addition to those questions contained in a short questionnaire. The enumerators collected the data and filled-in the census questionnaire by visiting households from door to door. All members of the household were recorded on the same questionnaire if their number is eight or less. Enumerators were instructed to fill-in consecutive questionnaires if the members of the household are more than eight. The type of questionnaire administered to each household depends on whether a household was selected for a long questionnaire or not. The selection procedure was determined by using a systematic sampling procedure as follows. Three days prior to the census day all households and housing units were listed in a separate form designed for the purpose. This list was used to identify the type of questionnaire that was to be administered to the households. One out of five households was systematically selected from the list /following scientific procedures/ to be interviewed using the long questionnaire, while the others were interviewed using the short questionnaire. Residents of hotels, hostels and other collective quarters were interviewed using a long questionnaire whereas homeless persons were counted using a short questionnaire.

7 Accordingly, information presented in this report that refers to educational characteristics and economic activity statuses of the population were collected from sampled households. Similarly, other variables like marital status, fertility, migration, mortality and housing characteristics information were gathered on long questionnaire from sampled households. Even though information on the long questionnaire was collected from a sample of the population, statistical weights were applied to make them represent the entire population. This means that the figures presented in the statistical tables that refer to educational characteristics and economic activity status and others do represent the entire population of Amhara Region covered in the census and not only the sampled population. The fact that the information was collected from a sample of households and not from the entire households does not make the information less reliable. In fact this process is expected to increase the quality of the information collected by reducing the work load that would have been faced if all households were covered using the long questionnaire. In turn, the reduction of the work load improves the quality of the data through facilitating a closer supervision during field work and enabling the timely processing of the data collected. This report contains three chapters. The first chapter is the introduction of the report. Chapter V presents the Educational characteristics of the Population such as School Attendance, Educational Attainment, Literacy Status etc. Chapter VI presents the Economic Activity Status of the Population such as Activity Status, Employment Status, Unemployment Rate, Occupational Categories etc. Each chapter has a brief description concerning the type of questions asked and the corresponding answer categories, instructions followed by the enumerator while interviewing, basic definitions of concepts, etc. Appendix I presents the list of tables that appear on other parts of the statistical report for the region. Copies of English version- short and long questionnaires in appendices II to III respectively are presented at the end of this report. It is worth mentioning that due to the use of weights, slight discrepancies between various tables may sometimes be observed for some of the data collected using long questionnaire. Since the homeless population comprises very small proportion as compared to the total

8 population of the region tables that deal with marital status exclude the number of homeless population and the discrepancies are very small. Homeless persons were enumerated using only a short questionnaire because the enumeration took place at night at the place where they were spent the night, and it was not convenient to apply long questionnaire in such situations. General Information The following points are worth mentioning regarding the contents of the statistical report, the supply of the compiled statistical data in print and digital copies and also concerning access to raw data: a) The majority of the tables containing statistical data on population characteristics, disability and orphanhood statuses, educational characteristics, economic activity status, fertility, mortality, migration and housing characteristics and conditions were aggregated at region and zone levels and only few selected tables are produced at wereda level in printed reports. These will be provided in print and digital forms. b) More detailed information up to wereda and town levels will be provided in digital form on CDs. c) Apart from these, raw data as well as further detailed cross tabulations can be obtained from the Census Commission Office up on the user s request and based on its access policy with regards to the raw data.

9 CHAPTER V EDUCATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS This chapter presents data on educational characteristics of the population of the Region. The data was collected from members of the sampled household. Three questions on education were included in the census questionnaire to measure literacy status, school attendance and educational attainment. The information was collected from members of sampled households where long questionnaires were administered. However, the information has been weighted and all the figures in this chapter refer to the entire population of the Region. Every person aged five years and over in a sampled household was asked to report his/her literacy status. The two possible alternative answers given were literate and illiterate. In the census, a person is considered as literate if he/she can read and write a simple sentence in any language; other wise he/she is categorized as illiterate. This chapter presents data on literacy status of the population aged five years and over for this Region. Every person aged five years and over in the sampled household was also asked to report his/her educational status. The three alternative answers given were () attending school during the census day, () attended school in the past but left before the census day and () never attended. Those who were attending school during the census day were further asked to indicate the grade in which they were attending. All grades were given codes exhaustively but for the purpose of Presentation and analysis, these grades are regrouped into five categories (levels) as follows. These are () pre-school () elementary (-8 grades) () general secondary (9-0 grades) () above grade ten (including preparatory &, 0+, 0+, 0+, university education) () non regular (adult education and literacy campaign). For this purpose, a grade is defined as a stage of instruction usually

10 covered in the course of the school year. The grade in which the respondent was attending during the census was pre-coded and provided to the enumerators with separate code card sheet. Status of school attendance question was also similarly phrased and asked in the 99 Population and Housing Census, but in 007, the response categories slightly were different. The modification was done based on the new educational curriculum being implemented by the Ministry of Education of Ethiopia. Data on educational attainment is also given in this chapter. Those who were attending school during the census day and those who attended in the past and left school prior to the census day were asked to report the highest grade completed in the formal education system by further probing whether the person completed that grade in the current or old educational curriculum. The possible categorical answers for highest grade completed question are () pre-school () grade -8 (these are similar in both system) () grade 9-0 (new system) () grade 9- (old system) () certificate (old system) () preparatory & (7) at least one year in a diploma program (8) at least one year in a first-degree program (9) diploma (old system) (0) Bachelor's Degree () at least one year in a post-graduate program () Master's degree () Doctorate/PhD () 0+ certificate () at least one year in 0+ program () 0+ program (7) first year in 0+ program (8) second years in 0+ program (9) diploma (0+) (0) non- Regular (adult education and literacy campaign). The detailed code for highest grade completed was pre-coded and delivered to the enumerators with separate code card to be filled in the field. Unlike the 007 census, highest grade completed in the 99 census was asked for those who were reporting as literate and their highest grades were based on the old educational system. This chapter also presents data on educational attainment for population aged five years and over.

11 The report in general and this chapter in particular refers to formal education only. "A formal education is defined as education in which students are enrolled or registered regardless of the mode of teaching used. It includes both 'regular school and university education' and 'adult education'. All regular schools and university education are essentially formal. Adult education, however, could be formal and non-formal. The 007 Population and Housing Census covered only the formal component of the adult education and all regular as well as university education. Regular school and university education are used to describe the system that provides a 'ladder' by which children and young people may progress from primary schools through universities (although many drop out on the way). Adult education is used to describe out-of-school education, which provides education for people who are not in the regular school and university system and who are generally fifteen years or older (although in some circumstances, younger students are accommodated along with their older colleagues) (UNESCO, 97). 7
