COVID-19 High Frequency Phone Surveys for Venezuelans 2021-2022: Waves 1-4 (Ecuador)

Abstract

The World Bank conducted Phase 2 of the High-Frequency Phone Survey (HFPS) project in 2021 to continue to assess the socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Latin America and The Caribbean households. Phase 2 was conducted in partnership with the UNDP LAC Chief Economist Office and included two waves.

Ecuador has been part of all waves of data collection as part of the Regional effort. In 2022, in partnership with the Joint Data Center on Forced Displacement, two additional waves of data were collected in February and June. During all four waves of the HFPS Phase 2 in Ecuador, Venezuelan households were also included using a different sampling methodology but using the same instruments for comparison to local counterparts. This study presents the 4 waves of data for Venezuelan households and individuals in Ecuador.
