Education and Welfare of Senegalese Households Survey (EBMS)
EMBS involves a cohort of 14 to 17-year-olds from Senegal. Participants were recruited in 2003 from 28 rural and 32 urban communities, totaling 1,820 households. The 2003 EBMS revisited children initially included in a 1995–1996 survey known as 'Programme d'Analyse des Systèmes Éducatifs de la CONFEMEN (PASEC)', which administered tests to a sample of second-grade students. To address the selection problem of excluding non-enrollees, the 2003 survey enumerated all children and their households in the 60 original PASEC communities and randomly selected households with children of similar ages. The cohort's demographics include urban and rural children, with varying parental education levels and household wealth.
