| Summary: | The Skills Towards Employability and
Productivity (STEP) program was designed to better
understand the interplay between skills on the one hand and
employability and productivity on the other. The STEP
program developed survey instruments tailored to collect
data on skills in low- and middle-income country contexts.
The present note is a reference document for readers seeking
background information on the STEP surveys and for users of
the data, which is publicly available through the World
Bank s Microdata Catalog. The note describes the design of
the survey instruments and the constructs measured as well
as the technical standards and implementation protocols
adopted to ensure data quality and comparability across
countries. It also provides guidance to users for the
construction of aggregated skills indicators and for the use
of the reading literacy assessment data. |
