- Description
- The Chattogram for Low Income Area Gender, Inclusion, and Poverty (CITY) survey was designed to shed light on poverty, economic empowerment, and livelihoods of households who reside in slum and non-slum poor neighborhoods in Chattogram Statistical Metropolitan Area (SMA). So far it has been conducted Chattogram and Dhaka (BGD_2018_DIGNITY_v01_M). The survey collected issues related to women's economic empowerment, ranging from demographic and socioeconomic characteristics to a detailed work history, time use, and attitudes about work, and perceptions of work. The main objective is to collect primary data from male and female residents in slum and non-slum poor neighborhoods in Chattogram, the second largest city of Bangladesh, and build the evidence base about their constraints to access more and better jobs. The CITY survey was designed to shed light on poverty, economic empowerment, and livelihood in urban areas of Bangladesh as well as to identify key constraints and solutions for low-income women trying to obtain better jobs. A broad array of information was collected on issues related to women's economic empowerment, ranging from demographic and socioeconomic characteristics to detailed work history, time use, attitudes about work, and perceptions of work. The key feature of this survey is to collect economic data directly from the main household members, generally the main couples, unlike traditional surveys which only interviewed the heads of households (who tend to be men in most cases); thus, failed to gather valuable information from the female population. The 2019 CITY survey covered the following topics:

- Household demographic characteristics
