    By Country Office in Jamaica (VPC/CCB/CIA)
    The datasets come from two surveys of Jamaican businesses conducted between May and June 2020. Two sets of self-administered surveys were conducted using Survey Monkey. A very small sample of financial institutions was surveyed to gain perspective on the challenges facing financiers as a result of the pandemic, and their efforts to respond to such challenges. Nine financial institutions completed this survey, and the results were used to complement the information derived from the second and major survey. The second survey targeted non-financial businesses operating in Jamaica. The sample of firms was selected from a list of all registered Jamaican firms, obtained from the Companies Office of Jamaica.

    The Living Conditions and Social Development Survey (LCSDS) aims to evaluate and monitor the economic and social conditions, as well as poverty levels, in the communes near the Caracol Industrial Park (PIC). Located 25 km southeast of Cap-Haïtien (Haiti’s second most populous city), the PIC is a flagship economic development initiative that, by 2017, had created 10,000 new jobs in the light manufacturing sector. Between 2001 and 2003, the Haitian Institute of Statistics and Informatics (IHSI) conducted its first and only comprehensive survey on living conditions.

No similar comprehensive survey on living conditions has been conducted since. The LCSDS adapted the IHSI’s 2001-2003 survey questionnaire, adding specific modules on perceptions and opinions...
