 FOREWORD

By HE. Senior Minister, Minister of Planning, Cambodia

I have great pleasure in presenting this report on Disability in Cambodia, containing an

in-depth analysis of the results of the Cambodia Inter-censal population Survey (CIPS),
conducted by the National Institute of Statistics (NIS) in March 2013 under technical and
financial support by UNFPA, JICA and Government of Japan. From the point of view of
a nationally representative sample survey of 955 Primary Sampling Units and 28,650
households, this survey could be considered as a major statistical exercise in the country
in recent time. This database created by the present survey could be useful on an interim
basis until the next population census is conducted.

This survey is follow-up of the successful Population Census conducted in 2008 after
Population Census 1998. The census results have been widely disseminated within the
line Ministries and among large body of data users and public. The National Population
Policy for Cambodia formulated in August 2003 was one of the significant outcomes of
the census results.

The successful conduct of the next census is crucial to obtain a correct population count
and to update the much needed demographic data in the country. Such information is
required for planning not only at national and provincial level but also at district,
commune and event at village levels.

The present survey is in the nature of preparation for the gigantic task of the census.
More than a thousand staff of the NIS and Provincial Planning Office was trained in this
survey. Their services will be available for the next census to train a large number of
enumerators and supervisors who will be recruited. The CIPS 2013 may therefore be
called the harbinger of the next Population in Cambodia due in the year 2018.

On behalf of the Ministry of Planning, I wish to place on record our gratitude to the
United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) for supporting the whole process of CIPS,
2013 including resources and technical assistance program with emphasis on capacity
development. Thanks are due to Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) for
providing technical assistance for mapping villages and Enumeration Area (EAs), and for
participating in analysis and dissemination of the results.

I appreciate the hard work put in by the staff of the NIS under the guidance and
supervision of H.E. Mrs. Hang Lina, Director General, NIS and the Provincial Planning
Offices in making the survey a success as well as in the preparation of this report. I wish
to take this opportunity to thanks all staff in the National Institute of Statistics as well as
all survey field staff who have taken part and contributed to success of the Cambodia

iii
Inter-censal Population Survey, 2013. We are also thankful to technical advisers for the
survey: Mr. Nott Rama Rao, Dr. Hans Petterson, Mr. Yi Soktha, Mr. Gregory Martin, Mr.
Fumihiko Nishi, Mr. Akihiko Ito and Mr. Akihito Yamauchi.

I am sure this report would be welcomed by the line-ministries, international agencies,

non-government organization, policy makers, program implementers, development
planners, and researchers a publication with a plethora of useful information. We hope to
received feedback and comments to improve our subsequent publication.

 PREFACE

The Cambodia Inter-censal Population Survey, 2013 was conducted not only to obtain
the much-needed demographic data following the census, but also to serve as a means to
train the staff of the NIS and Provincial Planning Offices in demographic data collection.
We are happy to record that the survey achieved both objectives.

This report contains and in-depth analysis on Disability in Cambodia based on the results
of CIPS, 2013. A general report at national level and separate report for each province
will be prepared later. There was planned to produce more in-depth studies based on the
results of the survey, on other topics of interest.

Our special thanks are due to H.E. Chhay Than, Honorable Senior Minister, Minister of
Planning, Cambodia whose keen interest in the census and in the survey was always a
source of inspiration and encouragement both to the national and international staff of the
project.

We sincerely thank to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) for supporting the
whole process of CIPS, 2013 including resources and technical assistance program with
emphasis on capacity development. Thanks are due to Japan International Cooperation
Agency (JICA) for providing technical assistance for mapping villages and Enumeration
Area (EAs), and for participating in analysis and dissemination of the results.

The success of the survey was mainly due to the enthusiastic participation of a large
number of staff in fieldwork, data processing and other survey activities. To every one of
them our thanks are due. The UNFPA and JICA national project staff closely assisted the
NIS and the provincial staff. The names of personnel associated with this report are
mentioned separately. We are thankful all of them.

Introduction
1.1 Background

The Cambodia Inter-Censal Population Survey 2013 (CIPS) was conducted in March 2013. The
reference time for the survey was the midnight of March 3 (00 hours). This is the second Inter-Censal
Population Survey to be conducted in Cambodia (CIPS 2013). The first one (CIPS 2004) was conducted
in March 2004. The Inter-Censal Population Survey in March 2013 was planned to take place exactly in
the middle of the two censuses held in 2008 and 2018. For the first time, the 2013 Inter-Censal
Population Survey provides estimates up to the provincial level. The target population set for CIPS,
2013 was the normal household population (regular households) of Cambodia. People living in
institutions, such as hospitals, hostels, police quarters and prisons as well as homeless populations were
not covered in the survey. However, normal households residing within institutional settings were
covered.

It is a nationally representative sample survey conducted for updating information on population size
and growth, fertility, mortality, migration and other population characteristics as well as household
facilities and amenities.

The process of formulating a National Population Policy has been greatly advanced through the
availability of population and demographic data. At the same time data from specialized surveys such as
the socio-economic survey and Demographic and Health Survey, labour force surveys and migration
studies have complemented the census data and helped build a body of essential statistics to guide the
development process. The conduct of the Cambodia Inter-Censal Population Survey 2013 is an
important step in the creation of a continuous flow of population data that will enable Cambodia prepare
plans and programmes of development supported by a strong database.

1.2 Survey Objective

The Cambodia Inter-Censal Population Survey 2013 was conducted with the objective of providing
information on the following characteristics of the population: Population size and distribution; sex, age
and marital status; fertility and mortality; migration status; disabled population; literacy and educational
level; employment and unemployment; housing and household amenities; and other population and
household information. These fresh data will enable calculation of reliable estimates and projections of:
Population size and growth, fertility and mortality levels, volume of migration, housing and household
amenities and related details.The survey was also intended to train the national staff in sampling, data
collection, data processing, analysis and dissemination.

1.3 Survey Content

The draft questionnaires for the CIPS 2013 were more or less on the 2008 General Census pattern. Some
modifications, however, were made by adding new questions and amending some of the old questions.
Two types of questionnaires were used in the CIPS 2013: Form A House-list and Form B Household
Questionnaire (see Appendix I and II).

The Form A was used to collect information on buildings containing one or more households during the
preliminary round preceding the survey night (March 3, 2013). Form B which has five parts, was used
for the survey enumeration in the period closely following the reference time.

1
1.4 Survey Organization

The sampling design and estimation procedure adopted in the survey are described in Chapter 2.The first
preliminary field work for the survey was mapping that was carried out with technical assistance from
Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Trained NIS staffs were deputed to draw the sketch
map of the villages and detailed EA maps.

The Director General of NIS served as the Director of CIPS 2013. The provincial planning directors of
each of the 23 provinces and Phnom Penh Municipality served as coordinators in their respective areas.
About a hundred NIS survey coordinators were drawn from different divisions of NIS and allotted to
provinces at the rate of about eight to nine villages per person. They then acted as technical advisors to
all survey staff and were responsible for technical aspects of the survey in the allotted province. Their
foremost tasks were to train the supervisors and the enumerators, supervise the fieldwork and ensure
proper distribution of CIPS materials and collection of completed records.

For every selected enumeration area, there was one enumerator and normally the work of three
enumerators was monitored and supervised by one supervisor. Enumerators and supervisors were drawn
from the cadre of teachers and other civil servants. Preferably those residing within or near the selected
villages were appointed by the provincial directors. In all there were 955 enumerators and 318
supervisors busy in the field during early March 2013. The Senior Minister, Minister of planning,
Secretaries and Under-Secretaries of State, and other Directors of Departments also assisted in
supervising the field activities.

A technical consultant appointed by UNFPA undertook a few short-term missions at appropriate stages
to provide training and overall guidance to the NIS and to ensure proper organization and
implementation of the CIPS field undertaking as well as to assist in the preparation of the tabulation plan
and reports. A sampling consultant provided guidance on sampling particularly on estimation procedure
and computation of sampling errors. Data Processing consultant (DPC) in his short-term missions gave
training to the staff in data processing and guided and supervised the processing of CIPS results.

1.5 Training for Field Staff

The 100 NIS Survey Coordinators (NIS SC) were first intensively trained at the NIS (November-
December 2012) by senior officers on updating village/ EA maps, sampling, house-listing, interviewing
households and filling-in household questionnaires, concepts and definition. The Province
Directors(with their Deputy Directors) were trained on CIPS at NIS for one week in January 2013, since
they were expected to be deeply involved in organizing the survey and making field visits to ensure that
the survey was proceeding smoothly. The training of appointed enumerators and supervisors on all
aspects of the survey, especially questionnaires and concepts (including practice), was conducted at the
Provincial Headquarters by NIS survey coordinators assisted by the Provincial Director/Deputy Director
for six days(19 to 23 February, 2013).

1.6 Data Collection and Supervision

For every selected EA, a field listing was organized in order to make a current and complete listing of
households located within it. At the first step the enumerator would have to update sketch maps of
villages and EA maps. Residential and partly residential buildings were numbered using sticker and
marked on map by covering a prescribed path of travel in order to make sure that all buildings in which
households resided were accounted for.

2
During the primary operation of the survey (lasting five days from 26 February to 2 March, 2013)
building/structures wholly or partly used for residential purpose in selected EAs (955 in all) were listed
in the House List called Form A (Appendix 1). After the listing operation was completed in an EA, a
fixed sample size of 30 households was selected from the house list by the respective supervisor. This
selection was carried out systematically by computing interval in each EA and choosing the random
start, by using linear sampling. It was closely supervised by NIS survey coordinators to ensure
correctness in the selection process.

During the main phase of the survey, the Household Questionnaire called Form B (Appendix II) was
completed by the enumerator in each of the 30 sample households selected in his/her EA. Overall, the
supervisory teams found that respondents were willingly answering the survey questions.

1.7 Data Processing

The completed records ( Form A , Form B, Form I, Form II, Map, and other prescribed Forms) were
systematically collected from the provinces by NIS Survey Coordinators on the due dates and submitted
to the team receptionist at NIS. Training on editing and coding of filled-in schedules was conducted for
senior staff, who in turn trained other editors and coders. The purpose of the editing process was to
remove matters of obvious inconsistency, incorrectness and incompleteness, and to improve the quality
of data collected. In order to capture the data recorded on Form A (House List), Form B (Household
Questionnaire) and Form 2 (Enumerator’s Summary), three separate data entry applications using CSPro
software package were made. CSPro package was used for tabulation as well. The data entry section
consisted of 14 keyboard operators working under two supervisors. They were thoroughly trained on
data entry procedures and the CSPro data entry software in the third week of March 2013.

1.8 Tabulation and Analysis Plans

In consultation with data users, NIS decided to produce about 78 basic priority tables (see Appendix III )
most of which are for both National and provincial levels. The Provincial level Tables are only for Total
and not separately for rural and urban areas due to smallness of the sample size. These tables cover most
of the topics included in the CIPS 2013 questionnaires and their cross classification should satisfy most
of the requirements of all sections of data users. The production of priority tables may be followed by
the preparation of additional tables called supplementary tables if proposed by the data users, and other
tables produced in the course of in-depth analysis.

Analysis of the survey data will include preliminary analysis of provisional population totals, general
analysis at the National and Provincial levels of the final survey data as well as in-depth analysis in
respect of the following topics by the NIS analysis team with technical assistance by UNFPA and JICA:
( i) Fertility and mortality (ii) Population growth and change in spatial distribution (iii) Nuptiality
(iv)Gender and age composition (v) Disability (vi) Migration (vii) Literacy and educational attainment
(viii) Economic activity and employment (ix)Housing and household amenities (x) Population
Projections (xi) Women in Cambodia and (xii) Urbanization and development in Cambodia. Some more
topics may also be taken up for study if needed. A separate report on each topic is expected to be
prepared. For this purpose a workshop may be held for each subject involving the national staff not only
within the NIS but also from other line Ministries concerned. This will afford an opportunity to the staff
concerned to interact with each other and study deeply the survey results and draw conclusions which
could be incorporated in the analytical report. Such a system worked very well in the past census
analysis programmes.

3
1.9 Dissemination Plan

The reports mentioned under the analysis plan will be printed and published. The preliminary report
based on provisional population totals was released in August 2013. The present report contains general
analysis mostly at the national level, of the data contained in the priority tables. This will be followed by
the publication of analytical reports mentioned above in stages.

Off-line electronic dissemination products will be mainly in the form of CD-ROM. The project plans to
produce a variety of electronic dissemination products based on CD ROMs. These include: a Table
Retrieval System, a Community Profile System and a thematic mapping application. Census Info will
also be used as dissemination tool. The NIS maintains a web site (www.nis.gov.kh) for providing
information from population censuses, the results of various types of surveys, periodical publication, etc.
The salient results of CIPS 2013 will be put on the web site. Seminars for the presentation of the survey
results and workshops to train planners in the line Ministries and other data users may be conducted in
the course of 2013-14 in Phnom Penh and every province/district so as to benefit participants down to
the district level.

1.10 Quality Assurance

Adequate steps were taken to ensure quality of data at every stage of the Survey. For quality assurance
in field work, the importance of collecting quality information was stressed in the training classes for
enumerators and supervisors. The need to collect accurate data by gender was also emphasized. For
every four enumerators, there was a field supervisor who closely checked the work of every enumerator
under him/her. The data processing division initially carried out manual coding and editing of filled-in
schedules. Computer editing was also carried out to produce clean data sets freed of errors and ready for
tabulation. QA was maintained in production of tables also so as to maintain timeliness and security of
the tables. In the dissemination of census results accessibility, relevance and user satisfaction is
proposed to be ensured.

1.11 Limitations of the Survey

The various estimates presented in this report are derived from a sample of the surveyed population. As
in any such survey, these estimates are subject to both sampling and non-sampling errors. Although the
CIPS 2013 sample was chosen at random, the people who took part in the survey might not necessarily
be a representative cross-section of the total population. Like all sample surveys the results of the
present survey are estimates of the corresponding figures for the whole population and these results
might vary from the true value in the population. Nevertheless the demographic, social and economic
indicators produced are broadly comparable with earlier census and survey results contained so as to
serve as a measure of change over time, useful for planning and monitoring.

Sampling Design, Estimation and Evaluation

2.1 Introduction

This is the second Inter-Censal Population Survey to be conducted in Cambodia (CIPS 2013). The total
sample size determined in order to make reliable estimates at provincial level was 955 out of 28,000
Enumeration Areas (EAs) of the 2008 Census as Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) and 28,650 households
as the Secondary Sampling Units (SSUs).

The survey was designed to provide reliable estimates for urban and rural areas at the national level but
at provincial level, it was expected to provide reliable estimates only for total population disaggregated
by sixth sample fraction varied by stratum and data were weighted to correctly represent the population.
Usually data would be weighted if the sample design gave each individual an equal chance of being
selected. This can be achieved by using survey weights. Weights can also serve other purposes, such as
helping to correct for non-response.

2.2 Sampling Frame

The sampling frame used for the 2013 CIPS was the complete list of all EAs of the 2008 General
Population Census of Cambodia. The list was updated to reflect administrative changes since the last
census up to September 2011. The main administrative change was the relocation of the boundary
between Kandal and Phnom Penh provinces with the result that 20 communes were shifted from Kandal
province to Phnom Penh. Twelve new communes were established, six of them in Battambang province.
In addition there were less significant changes like shifting of communes from one district to another
within a province, splitting and merging of villages etc. and creation of another Khan in Phnom Penh
(called Khan Pur SenChey) by annexing some part of Khan Dangkor and Kandal province. Taking into
account all aspects, some geographic areas have been re-coded for construction of a revised and updated
sampling frame for utilization in the multistage sample design.

2.3 Stratification

The main domains of study for the survey are the provinces. Reliable estimates were required for each
province. Consequently, the sampling frame was stratified by province. Within province a further
stratification by urban and rural was done. There was no explicit stratification of province as urban and
rural in the Demographic Survey of 1996 and CIPS 2004. The list of EAs was geographically ordered in
a serpentine fashion within each stratum. This ordering provided a further implicit stratification on
geographical location within the explicit strata as systematic sampling was employed.

2.4 Sample Size and Sample Allocation

An approximately almost equal allocation number of households over the provinces were employed,
giving a sample of approximately 1,200 households in each province. The size of the provinces
(population-wise) varies substantially; the largest province represents 13.1 percent of the total
households in the country; the smallest one represents just 0.3 percent of the total households in the
country. Within each province the sample was allocated approximately proportionally between urban
and rural areas.

2.5 Survey design

The sample design for the survey was a stratified two-stage sampling design, where the Enumeration
Areas (EAs) were considered as the Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) and the households as Secondary
Sampling Units (SSUs).

2.5.1 Primary Sampling Units (PSUs)

The EAs or the primary sampling units (PSUs) were well-defined geographic units for which reliable
population data are available. The EAs were arranged by geographical codes like province code, district
code, commune code, and village code village code and enumeration area code. The sample EAs were
then selected using the Linear Systematic Sampling without Replacement (LSSWR).

6
Selected EAs with less than 40 regular households were discarded and replaced by a neighboring EA of
sufficient size. Altogether 12 EAs were replaced in this manner. This procedure was not strictly correct.
It meant that the households in the small EAs had no chance of being included in the sample – a
violation of the basic principle in sampling. The proper procedure would be to combine the selected EA
with a neighboring EA in a random way. However, the number of replacements being so small, it does
not significantly affect the quality of the estimates.

Large EAs – the number of households exceeding 150 - were divided into roughly equal sized segments
containing approximately 60-80 households and one segment was selected randomly. In the case of
segmenting, the field team recorded the number of segments that were created and the segment that was
selected out of them. The EA map prepared clearly indicated the EA and the segments created within the
EA.

An important principle followed was that as far as possible the selected sample of EAs should not be
tampered with. If a selected EA turned out to have very few households, still this EA was kept in the
sample. Still, in a few cases practical considerations might have overruled this principle. There were two
cases where whole villages were relocated from one place to another because the old place had to be
cleared for development projects (villages 09020103 and 09020302). In these cases it was decided to
keep the villages in the sample.

2.5.2 Secondary Sampling Units (SSUs)

For the purpose of selection of the secondary sampling unit, a household was defined as follows to guide
the field staff:” It is a group of people who presently live together and take food from a common
kitchen. By this definition, a household does not include persons who are currently living elsewhere for
purposes of study or work. The household includes domestic workers or temporary visitors. And, in
practice, we want to select our respondent from among persons in the household who will be available
for interview on that same day”.

In multi-household dwelling structures (like blocks of flats, compounds with multiple houses, or
backyard dwellings for rent, relatives, or household workers), each household was treated as a separate
sampling unit.

At this stage, sample households in the sample EA were selected, by Linear Systematic Sampling (LSS)
with Random start method as described below:

R1 = 1 to I: Random start in range between 01 to Interval (R = 1 to I)

I = Interval between household to another households in the listing sheet

Where:
I = Mhi / mhi

Mhi : Actual number households in a listed in EA at the time of survey

mhi : ( 30hhs ) the sample of households select from the selected EA
Assume R =R1 Random start or the 1 sample household (R = 01 to I)
The 30 sample households are calculate as below

R =R1, R2 =R1+ I, R3 = R1 + 2I, ----------------, R30 = R1 +29I

7
2.6 Probability Selection

There was no proportional allocation of the sample at the national level. The spreadsheet containing all
sampling parameters and selection probabilities were prepared to facilitate the calculation. Sampling
was carried out based on separate sampling probabilities for each sampling stage.

2.6.1 Probability 1

The first-stage sampling probability involved in selection of each i th EA in h th Stratum is:

୦୧
ଵ୦୧ ൌ
୦୧
Where:

nhi is the number of EAs selected in hth stratum. Nhi is the total number of EAs in the
hth stratum

2.6.2 Probability 2

The second-stage sampling probability involved in selection of certain households within the selected
EA in stratum h is:
୦୧
ଶ୦୧ ൌ
୦୧ ή ୦୧

Where:

mhi is the number of households selected in EA i in stratum h (mhi is usually =30; will
be less than 30 if the EA is very small, having less than 30 households in total).

Mhi is the number households listed in EA (or segment) i in stratum h.

Shi is the number of segments created in the EA (in most cases=1, i.e. when no
segmentation has been done. If 3 segments have been created then Shi is equal to 3).

2.7 Extrapolation

A spreadsheet containing all sampling parameters and selection probabilities were prepared to facilitate
the calculation of sampling weights. Sampling weights were adjusted for household and individual
records. The overall selection probability of each household in cluster i of stratum h is the product of the
two stages of selection probabilities.

ࡼࢎ࢏ ൌ ࡼ૚ࢎ࢏ ή ࡼ૛ࢎ࢏

8
2.7.1 Basic weight

The sampling weight (design weight) for each household in cluster i of stratum h is the inverse of its
overall selection probability:

ͳ ͳ ͳ ܰ௛ ‫ܯ‬௛௜ ή ܵ௛௜
‫ݓ‬௛௜ ൌ ൌ ή ൌ ‫ݓ‬ଵ௛௜ ή ‫ݓ‬ଶ௛௜ ൌ ή
ܲ௛௜ ܲଵ௛௜ ܲଶ௛௜ ݊௛ ݉௛௜
2.7.2 Adjustment weight

A study of the sizes of the sampled EAs in terms of number of households showed that the EA sizes
(୦୧ ) were on the low side. There was probably some confusion in some areas regarding the exact
location of the EA boundaries resulting in under listing of households. Furthermore, there could be cases
where the EA was segmented but the segmentation was not properly recorded in the sampling sheets. It
was therefore decided to introduce an adjustment to the design weights with the effect that the sample
households in the EA would not be raised to the EA-total (୦୧ ) but rather to the number of households
per EA in the village where the EA is located. The weights became:

ܰ௛ ‫ܯ‬ഥ௛௜
‫ݓ‬௛௜ ൌ ή
݊௛ ݉௛௜
ഥ ୦୧ is the number of households per EA in the village where the EA is located.
Where 

These weights were used for estimates of household characteristics based on Form B data. The weights
can be expressed in terms of first and second stage weights as:

ഥ௛௜ ‫ܯ‬௛௜
ܰ௛ ή ‫ܯ‬
‫ݓ‬௛௜ ൌ ‫ݓ‬ଵ௛௜ ή ‫ݓ‬ଶ௝௜ ൌ ή
݊௛ ή ‫ܯ‬௛௜ ݉௛௜
The first stage weight (™ଵ୦୧ ) was used for estimates of household characteristics based on
the Form A questionnaire. (Form A covered all households in the selected EA so there
was no need for the second stage weight).

The sum of the first stage weights over the sample constituted an estimate of the total number of regular
households in the country. The estimate of total number of households was short of the number of
households reported in the Commune Data Base (CDB). It was therefore decided to adjust the first stage
household weights slightly upwards so that the estimates would agree with CDB totals. This
“calibration” of the weights was done at the province level by urban/rural. A further adjustment was
done in Phnom Penh and Kandal provinces due to the changes in boundaries between the two provinces
(20 Kandal communes were transferred to Phnom Penh province in 2011).

2.8 Standard Errors and Confidence Intervals

The sample survey is always affected by two types of errors: non-sampling errors and sampling errors.
Non-sampling errors are the results of mistakes made in implementing data collection and data
processing, such as failure to locate and interview the correct household, misunderstanding of the
questions on the part of either the interviewer or the respondent, and data entry errors. To minimize this
type of error, non-sampling errors are impossible to avoid and difficult to evaluate statistically.
Sampling errors, on the other hand, can be evaluated statistically. It is usually measured in terms of the

9
standard error for a particular statistic (mean, proportion), which is the square root of the variance. The
standard error can be used to calculate confidence intervals within which the true value for the
population can reasonably be assumed to fall. The standard errors are calculated in the SPSS Complex
Samples module. The variance of an estimate of a total is:

L ª º
2
nh
§ ˆ ·
V(Yˆ) = ¦ « h ¦ ¨¨ Yˆ hi - Yn h ¸¸

»,
h=1 « n h - 1 i=1 © h ¹ »¼
¬

mh

where: Yˆ hi = ¦ W 'hi y hij

j=1

nh

Yˆ h = ¦ Yˆ hi
i=1

Some of the estimates from the CIPS will be in the form of proportions or percentages. The variance
estimator of a ratio can be expressed as follows:

V(Rˆ ) =
1
ˆ 2
V(>Yˆ) + ˆ 2 V(Xˆ ) - 2 Rˆ COV( Xˆ ,Yˆ) ,
R @
X
where:
L ª nh

COV( X,Y) = ¦ « ¦
nh
ˆ ˆ ¨¨ Xˆ hi - X h ¸¸ ¨¨ Yˆ hi - Y h ¸¸ »
h=1 ¬ n h - 1 i=1 © nh ¹ © nh ¹¼

V( Yˆ) and V(Xˆ ) are calculated according to the formula for the variance of a total.

2.8.1 Confidence Intervals

Table 1 provides standard errors, confidence intervals and coefficients of variation for estimated number
of people by province. The overall reliable estimate at 95 percent of confidence interval of population
figures at national level of the CIPS, 2013 falls between 14,356,392 and14,996,882.These confidence
intervals vary from province to province of Cambodia as may be seen in Table 2.2.

Disabled Population-Size and Distribution

3.1 Number of persons with Disability

The number of persons with disability, or the disabled population in Cambodia is 301, 629 according to
CIPS 2013. These are based on the definitions adopted for CIPS (see definition in General report). It
includes 157,008 (52.05 percent) males and 144,622 females (47.95 percent) in 2013.

The disabled population constitutes 2.06 percent of the country’s population of 14,676,591 in 2013,
(1.07 percent among males and 0.99 percent among females)

The proportion of the disabled in the rural areas (1.77 percent) are higher than that in the urban areas (
0.28 percent).The total number of disabled persons in the country is distributed in the 23 provinces and
Phnom Penh Municipality at varying proportions (Table 3.1).

As in the case of distribution of the general population, Battambang province accounts for the highest
percentage of the disabled population (10.65) and Kep province has the lowest percentage (0.23) in
2013. Kampong Cham province accounts for the second highest percentage of disabled population
(10.52). In the survey the provinces which account for more than 5 percent each of the country’s
disabled population are: Battambang, Kompong Cham, Kampong Chhnang, Kampong Thom, Kendal,
Prey Veng, Siem Reap and Takeo. Takeo province has the percentage (6.52) in survey meaning in this
province there is no immigration and out migration of disabled population. In other provinces these two
movements and the mortality provide the diminution or increasing.

3.2 Disability rate for Cambodia and Provinces

Table 3.2 gives the absolute numbers of the disabled population and the disability rate (percentage of
disabled persons to total population) by sex and type of residence of 24 provinces in Cambodia. The
urban areas of Cambodia which contains 21.44 percent of the country’s total general population account
for 13.81 percent of the total of disabled population in the survey.

According to CIPS 2013, the disability rate is the highest in Kampong Chhnang (3.74), Kampong Thom
(3.36), Preah Sihanouk (3.55), Otdar Meanchey (3.54). The disability rate is much higher than the
national average in each of the provinces of Battambang, Kampong Chhnang, Kampong Thom, Koh
Kong, Kratie , Prey Veng, , Preah Sihanouk, Takeo, Otdar Meanchey and Pailin This is mainly due to
the fact that Pailin was one of those provinces in the Northwest that were seriously affected by war and
civil disturbances during the Khmer Rouge regime. For the same reason, perhaps, the disability rate is
much higher than the national average in each of the provinces (Table 3.2). In each of the remaining
provinces the disability rate is less than the national average.

The disability rate is higher in the rural areas than in the urban areas at the national level.

Table 3.3 gives the percent distribution of disabled persons in Total, Urban and Rural areas by type of
disability and sex for Cambodia. While the persons with disability “in seeing” form the highest
proportion among those disabled, disabled persons in movement predominate among the persons
disabled. The percent of Mental Illness is the fourth highest proportion among the persons disabled after
Hearing this holds true for both males and females. In Cambodia as a whole, among the disabled
population, females have a higher proportion than that of males in respect of each disability barring
movement disability. This is observed both in the urban and rural areas

Kratie, Ratanak Kiri, Siem Reap and Pailin have each three types of disabilities with proportion higher

20
than the corresponding national average. The provinces which have each proportion of disabled
population higher than the national average in respect of two types of disabilities are: Kampong Speu
and Otdar Meanchey. The remaining two provinces have each only one disability in which the
proportion of disabled is higher than the national average.
It is noticed in respect of the last category that all the thirteen provinces (Battambang, Kampong Cham
Kampong Thom, Kampot, Koh Kong, Preah Vihear, Pursat, Siem Reap, Stung Treng, Takeo, Otdar
Meanchey, Kep and Pailin) have each a higher proportion than the national average only in movement
disability. The persons with movement disability may perhaps be the victims of war and serious civil
disturbances that took place in these provinces for long in the past.
It is noticed also in respect of the two last types (Other and Multiple Disabilities) that all the three
provinces( Mondul Kiri, Preah Vihear, ,Stung Treng) have no (Other) and that all the six
provinces(Kampong Cham, Kampot, Mondul Kiri, Ratanak Kiri, Preah Sihanouk and Stung Treng have
no (Multiple Disabilities).

Sex Composition, Age Distribution and Marital Status

4.1 Sex Composition

According to CIPS 2013, sex ratio of the disabled population at the national level is 101.6 as against
94.3 among the general population indicating a higher proportion of males among the disabled
population in the country. The urban and rural sex ratios of the disabled population are 91.6 and 107.8
respectively. The sex ratio of the disabled population at province level varies over a wide range from
80.9 in Prey Veng and 83.2 in Mondul Kiri to 218.1 and 230.5 in Pailin.

At the national level, sex ratio among disabled children aged 0-14 years was 114.4 a bit higher than the
total disabled population (Table 4.1). Sex ratio among working age 15-64 years accounted 104.5. For
older age group 65 and above, the sex ratio is 72.1 showing that women outnumber of men among the
elderly.

4.2 Age Structure of the disabled population

The CIPS 2013, information on age in completed years as on last birthday was collected from the
respondents. The percentage of children aged 0-14 accounted about 10.63 percent (Table 4.2) of the total
disabled population as against 29.4 percent among the general population (See Chapter 4 of the National
report).

The disabled working age group accounted for 67.99 percent of the disabled population whereas among
the general population it constitutes 65.6 percent. In 2013, the proportions of the elderly among the
disabled population and the general population are 21.37 percent and 5.0 percent respectively. In the age
group 35–39 a decline in the population may be observed (see Figure 4.1). This is due to decline in
fertility and high mortality during the Khmer Rouge period.

24
Tables 4.3 and 4.4 in 2013 provide the age distribution of the disabled population in the urban and rural
areas of Cambodia respectively. In the urban areas children among the disabled population constitute 9.6
percent, the working age population constitutes 68.3 percent and the elderly constitute 22.1 percent. The
corresponding proportions among the rural disabled population are: 10.1 percent, 60.0 percent, 21.26
percent.

4.2.1 Median Age
According to CIPS 2013, the median age of the disabled population works out to 45.76 years as against
24.52 years for the population of Cambodia as a whole. The median ages of males and females among
the disabled population are 44.93 and 47.01 respectively. The corresponding median ages among the
general population are 23.40 and 25.77 respectively. The median ages of the disabled population in the
urban and rural areas are calculated as 44.22 and 45.96 respectively (Table 4.5).

The highest median age (Table 4.6) is observed in Preah Sihanouk province (55.53) and the lowest in
Mondul Kiri province (27.71). In respect of males also Kampong Cham (53.41) leads with Mondul Kiri
recording the lowest figure of 22.38. In the case of females Pursat province has recorded the highest
median age (59.10) and Siem Reap has recorded the lowest figure of 32.77. On the basis of the median
age levels, the disabled population in Cambodia may be categorized as an “old population”.

Annex Table 4 presents the percent distribution of the disabled population in each type of disability by
broad age group, sex and residence for Cambodia. It is observed that at the national level, under
disability, the age group 15-29 has the highest proportions of the disabled in all the categories except in
hearing and in multiple disabilities. In the case of disability in speech the highest proportion (28.78
percent) is among children in the age group 0-14. Under disability the highest proportions are noted in
the age group 15-29 of disabled persons in speech and mentally Illness disabled persons. In respect of
seeing, hearing , other and multiple disabilities, the incidence is the highest in the age group 60+, 60+ ,
60+ and 60+ respectively. In general, those who suffer from different physical handicaps are mostly in
the age cohort 15-29 which represents people born during the troubled years 1979-1993 following the
Khmer Rouge regime. Disabilities in vision, in hearing, in movement, other and multiple disabilities
acquired are more prevalent among the older age groups. Following the age group 15-29, children in the
age group 0-14 have a high proportion of mentally disabled persons. These characteristics are noticed in
most of the provinces also on examining the priority Table E1 (not published in this report).

4.3 Marital Status

Unlike sex or age, marital status is an acquired characteristic and not a biological one. In Cambodia
marriage is nearly universal with about 90 percent of the population getting married before they reach
the age of 30 years. Table 4.7 prepared by a special tabulation (not covered by Priority Tables) gives the
distribution of persons with disability aged 15 years and over by sex and marital status for Cambodia as
a whole.

Table 4.7 gives the proportion in each marital status category by type of disability. It reveals the
following major deviations from the general marital status pattern of the disabled. The percentage of
single is higher among males than females having “seeing”, “hearing” or mental disability. In the case of
disability in speech the proportions of single males and females are nearly the same. It reveals the
following major deviations from the general marital status pattern of the disabled. The percentage of

Considering in 2013 the persons with disability aged 15 and over as a whole it is observed that 26.87
percent is never married as against the corresponding percentage of 31.14 among the general population.
The percentage widowed (13.63) among the disabled population (aged 15+) is much higher than that of
the general population (5.03). This is mainly because the disabled population is an “old population”
whereas the general population is comparatively younger. The percentage of divorced among disabled
women (2.42 percent) is also higher than that in the general population (1.76 percent). The percentages
of never married among males and females aged 15+ in the general population are 35.31 and 27.40
respectively. The corresponding percentages among the disabled population are 24.64 and 29.33.The
proportion of never married decreases with the increase in age. However about 90 percent of the
disabled population are already married by the age of 45 whereas such a situation is reached by the
general population even by the age of 30.

In the higher age for women, from the age group 55-59 upwards, the proportion of widowed is
substantially high and it increases with age (Table 4.6). These old and physically challenged widows
constitute the most vulnerable group who need assistance and support.

The following marital status scenario of the total disabled population emerges on examining the data in
Table 4.7:

The proportion of never married (single) is higher for females than that of males. The proportions of
those who are currently married among males are higher than the corresponding proportion for females
among the disabled persons. The proportion in each of the categories widowed, divorced or separated in
respect of females is higher than the corresponding proportion among males.

If looked at from the point of view of age, the proportion of single males is very much higher than the
corresponding proportion of single females in every age group below 30. From the age group 30-34
onwards the opposite trend is noticed. In the higher age groups males marry much younger women
either for the first time or as remarriage once they are widowed, divorced or separated. This tendency
does not exist among older women. In all the age groups the proportion of widows is higher, with its rise
being faster compared to that of widowers. This is due to the following reasons: (i) wives are generally
younger than their husbands (ii) the expectation of life is higher for women than men (iii) men tend to
remarry at a proportion very much higher than that of women.

with Disability by Sex

The Singulate Mean Age at Marriage (SMAM) of the disabled population is much higher than that of
the general population, as may be seen from Table 4.8 in 2013. Marriage among the disabled population
seems to be relatively delayed.

 Chapter 5
Literacy and Educational Levels

5.1 Literacy Rate of Persons with Disability

The definition adopted for literacy is the ability to read and write with understanding in any language.
All children of the age 6 years or less were treated as illiterate children. The CIPS 2013, information on
language in which literate was also collected and the current attending level and the main subject study
from the grade 15 -20 level.
As may be seen from Table 5.1a, in 2013 the general literacy rate among the disabled population is
55.77 percent (66.76 percent for males and 43.85 percent for females). Moreover the gap between the
male and female literacy rates is much higher in the case of the disabled population.

It is also noticed that the literacy level of the disabled population for females is lower than that of the
disabled population for total and males. There is an exception in speech; the literacy level of the disabled
population for females is higher than that of the disabled population for total and males.

Table 5.2 gives in 2013 the literacy level of the disabled population aged 7 and over in the provinces
(including Phnom Penh Municipality) for total disabled population. The literacy rates vary from
province to province. The lowest rates are recorded in Mondul Kiri province and the highest in Kandal
for total, males and females. The literacy levels in the following provinces are each above the national
average of 58.03: Banteay Meanchey, Battambang, Kampong Speu, Kandal, Kratie, Phnom Penh, Siem
Reap, Preah Sihanouk, Kep and Pailin. In each of the remaining provinces the literacy level is lower
than the national level.

5.2 Educational Level of Disabled population

In 2013 the distribution of literate population aged 7 and over by educational level the category “Others”
is excluded as it has very small numbers and is not clearly identifiable. Thus the total literate population
among the disabled for Cambodia is taken as 168,172 instead of 168,233

Among the total literate population with disability, the proportions of those who have completed
Primary level of education (25.0 percent) and Lower secondary level (17 percent) (see Table 5.4) are
lower than the corresponding proportions of the general population, namely, 29.4 percent and 21 percent
respectively, given in the National Report on the Final CIPS Results released in 2013. Those who have
the qualification of Secondary School/Baccalaureate level and beyond constitute hardly 1 percent as
against about 2 percent among the general population. The literacy and educational levels of female
disabled persons are generally lower than those of male disabled population. In each of the educational
level categories of “None” and Primary not completed the percentage of females is higher than that of
males.

* Excludes "Not reported "and "Other" educational levels
The distribution by educational levels of literate disabled population among Total Disabled by urban and
rural areas is presented in Table 5.5 and in Table 5.6. It is seen that the rural proportions for primary not
completed and primary completed are higher than the corresponding urban proportions. In the higher
educational levels, however, the trend is reversed as expected. It is possible that in the urban areas a
portion of primary completed persons might have moved to Lower Secondary whereas their counterparts
in the rural areas might have stopped with Primary completed level without pursuing higher education.
Both in the urban and rural areas the proportions of males in the educational levels of Primary and above
are higher than those of females. In the case of Primary not completed the percentages of females is
higher than those of males, both in the urban and rural areas, the difference being more pronounced in
the urban areas.

* Excludes "Not reported "and "Other" educational levels
With an average of 33.98 percent in 2013(Table 5.13) at the national level, the proportion of males who
have completed the primary level of education ranges from 13.32 in Koh Kong province to 57.13 in
Banteay Meanchey province. The percentages of females at that level varies from 0.00 in Mondul Kiri
and Svay Rieng provinces to 45.39 in Pailin province, the national average being 25.06 percent. In
respect of Lower Secondary level the proportion of persons ranges from nil in Banteay Meanchey,
Kampong Speu, Koh Kong,Mondul Kiri, Preah Vihear, and Pursat provinces to 15.23 in Ratanak Kiri
province. The proportion of persons who have completed Secondary/Technical Diploma varies from
1.71 in Banteay Meanchey province to 19.64 in Preah Sihanouk province. In Kampong Cham, Kandal,
Koh kong, Mondul Kiri, Prey Veng, Pursat, and Takeo provinces there are no females among the
disabled with Secondary/Technical Diploma level qualification. The proportions of disabled persons
who have completed a level of education beyond Secondary/Technical Diploma like under graduate and
graduate, are very poor in all the provinces with nil in the provinces of Banteay Meanchey, Battambang
Kampong Cham, Kampong Chhnang, Koh Kong, Kratie, Mondul Kiri, Preah Vihear, Prey Veng, Pursat,
Ratanak Kiri, Siem Reap, Stung Treng, Svay Rieng, Takeo and Otdar Meanchey, and with Phnom Penh
Municipality recording 6.77 percent at the other end.

5.3 Literacy and Educational Levels by Type of Disability

In 2013 the literacy levels of persons with disabilities in seeing , in movement and in other are higher
than the national average of 58.03 (Table 5.11) for the total disabled population. The literacy rate of
disabled in hearing is 28 percent points less than the national average. The literacy rates of those
disabled in speech (46.86), the literacy rate of persons mentally illness disabled (48.07) and the literacy
rate of persons in multiple disabled (44.70) are much below the national average. The literacy rates of
those disabled in mental retardation (26.08) is the most less than other type of disabilities and the
national average. The literacy rate is higher among the persons who became mentally illness disabled
than that of the disabled persons in mental retardation in respect of movement and mental disabilities. In
the other three categories of disability the opposite trend is noticed. The educational levels of persons in
each type of disability are also presented in Table 5.11.

In the case of mentally disabled, some explanation seems necessary: Since some mentally disabled
persons have literacy and educational attainment, the following situations are feasible:
Mentally illness disabled

48
 (i) They might have become mentally disabled after they completed some educational level
(ii) Partially disabled persons might have also been treated as mentally disabled
Mentally disabled in mental retardation
(i) In some cases respondents might have reported mentally illness disabled persons in the category of
mentally disabled persons in mental retardation

 CHAPTER 6
Economic Activity

6.1 Introduction

That part of manpower which participates or attempts to participate in the production of economic goods
and services is referred to as the economically active population or labour force of a country. The term
“labour force” is considered equivalent to “economically active population” according to U.N
recommendations. The latter term is used in this chapter to refer to the labour force.

The economically active population includes both the employed and the unemployed. Population not
economically active refers to the following categories: homemaker, student, dependent, rent receiver,
retired or other income recipient, and others who are not economically active for most of the time and
who do not come under any of these four categories.

In the 2013 CIPS of Cambodia information on economic characteristics of the population was collected
in respect of each inmate of a household in the following columns in Form B Household Questionnaire
Part 2: Col.19 Main Activity Col.20 Employment Period Col.21 Occupation Col.22 Employment Status
Col.23 Industry, Trade or Service Col.24 Sector of Employment and Col.25 Secondary economic
activity for all persons employed, unemployed and economically inactive (See Appendix II).

The reference period for recording the answers under the main activity as employed, unemployed
(employed any time before), unemployed (never employed any time before) or any of the inactive
category, was the one year or 12 months preceding the census night, that is in CIPS 2013 from 4 March
2012 to 3 March 2013. Main activity is defined as the activity during 6 months (183 days) or more
during the one year reference period. In other words it is the major part of the one year preceding the
census and CIPS date.

6.2 Crude Economic Activity Rate

In 2013 crude economic activity rates (the percentage of the economically active population to the total
population) or simply economic activity rates (unless stated otherwise in this chapter) for the general
population of Cambodia and the disabled population are 56.78 and 53.65 respectively. For males and
females among the general population the economic activity rates are 57.75 and 55.86. The
corresponding proportions among the disabled population are 62.43 and 44.13 respectively. It shows that
women with disability participate in economic activity on a lesser scale than their counterparts in the
general population. This trend is reversed in respect of males.

The economic activity rates of the disabled population in mental illness are generally higher than those
of disabled population in mental retardation except in the older ages (60+). However in the age group
15-59 for females disabled in mental illness the economic activity rate is slightly lower than the
corresponding rate under disabled in mental retardation (Tables 6.1 and 6.2).

As in 2013, in the case of the general population the economic activity rates of the disabled population
are higher in the rural areas when compared to urban areas. The economic activity rates for total, males
and females in the urban areas are 46.61, 50.66 and 42.13. In the rural areas the corresponding rates are
54.78, 64.33 and 44.44 respectively.
The economic activity rates for total, males and females are presented in Table 6.3 in respect of each
province (including Phnom Penh Municipality).

Pursat to 71.1 in Otdar Meanchey province for both sexes, from 57.8 in Pursat to 80.5 in Otdar
Meanchey province for males and from 34.6 in Pursat province to 66.9 in Kamdal province for females.
The Thirteen provinces having economic activity rate higher than that of the national level are: Banteay

6.3 Economic Activity Rate by Type of Disability

Table 6.3 presents the percent distribution of the disabled population by type of disability, main activity
and sex for Cambodia for 2013. The percentage of economically active population is got by adding the
percentage of the employed and the unemployed. The percent distribution of the economically inactive
population by main activity (like home maker, student, dependent, income recipient and others) is
derived from this Table. For instance in 2013 in both sexes under the total disabled, the employed and
the unemployed form respectively 48.00 and 5.65 percent giving the economic activity rate of 53.65.
The economic inactivity rate for this population is, therefore, 46.35 percent. The percentage of home-
makers among the economically inactive population is calculated as the percentage of 7.74 to 46.35
which is 16.04 percent. The percentages of main activities of economically inactive persons are derived
from Table 6.4 in this manner.

In 2013, Dependents constitute fifty-six percent of the economically inactive population among the
disabled. About 13.4 percent are students. Home makers form only about 17.4 percent. Among the
economically inactive disabled males, dependents, students and home makers form respectively 56.3
percent, 18.4 percent and 12.3 percent. Among the economically inactive disabled females, these
proportions are respectively 55.7 percent, 9.5 percent and 21.5 percent.

Under the total disabled population the proportion by main activity of economically inactive population
in each type of disability is describe below:

In the case of persons having disability in seeing, the economically active population constitutes 61.8
percent which is higher than 54.26 percent among the total disabled. Among the economically inactive
population dependents, students, home makers, income recipients like the retired, rent receivers etc., and
others form 45.5, 18.8, 25.9, 9.2 and 0.5 percent respectively.

In respect of other categories of disability also dependents predominate among the economically
inactive followed by students, home makers, income recipients and others in that order though the
percentages vary. It is observed that as in the case of the total population the proportions of the
economically inactive population by main activity are higher for females compared to the corresponding
proportions of males except in respect of students. The deviations from this pattern are:

The proportion of females is higher for students in the category of movement difficulty; for income
receivers in the category of speech disability; for others in the categories of hearing and mental
disabilities.

6.4 Economic Activity Rate of the Working Age Group
In the calculation of crude economic activity rate the whole population including young children and
very old persons are taken into account. It may be more appropriate to calculate the economic activity
rates for the working age group of 15-64 which is internationally used. Table 6.4 gives the economic
activity rates of the disabled population aged 15-64 at the national level.

For the general population of Cambodia in the age group 15-64 in 2013, the economic activity rates are
82.2 for total, 84.5 for males and 80.0 for females. The economic activity rates for the disabled
population in the same age group (Table 6.4) are lower than those of the general population. While the
economic activity rate for males is lower by 8.36 points, the economic activity rate for females is lower
by 19.37 points. The urban economic activity rates are lower than the corresponding rural rates as in the
case of the general population. The economic activity rates are 73.18, 79.46 and 67.36 for total, males
and females in the general population in the urban areas. The corresponding rural economic activity
rates are 84.85, 86.06 and 83.75 respectively. The gap between the economic activity rates of males
(76.17) and females (60.62) among the disabled population is much greater than the gap between the
two rates among the general population (84.5 for the males and 80.0 for the females).

The unemployment rate, defined as the percentage of unemployed population to the economically active
population, has been calculated for the general population and the disabled population and presented in
Table 6.5.
The unemployment rate of the disabled population is much higher than that of the general population
both by sex and residence. In the urban areas the unemployment rates of both the general population and
the disabled population are higher as compared to the rural rates. This may be due to the fact that in the
rural areas agriculture absorbs a large proportion of workers. In the urban areas the unemployment rate
among the disabled population far surpasses that of the general population. In the urban areas the
unemployment rate of disabled females is higher than the unemployment rate of females in the general
population by as much as 374 in 2013

Like the crude economic activity rate in 2013, the economic activity rate of the disabled population aged
15-64 also varies over a wide range among the provinces. It ranges from 61.2 in Kampong Cham to 86.6
in Mondul Kiri province for both sexes, from 63.6 in Phnom Penh Municipality to 86.1 in Pailin
province for males and from 45.5 in Kampong Cham to 92.4 in Mondul Kiri province for females.
6.5 Economic Activity Rates in other Age Groups
It is observed that among the disabled children (aged 0-14) 3.4 percent are economically active in 2013
(Table 6.1). As per computation form the Priority Tables C1 and E6, the percentage of economically
active disabled children in the age group 5-14 is 4.33 as against 2.39 among children of the same age
group in the country. The child labour rate among the disabled is therefore higher than that among the
general population. Special efforts are needed to mainstream the disabled children of varying disabilities
so as to eradicate child labour. It is also noticed that in both the age groups 15-59 and 60+ (Table 6.1)
the participation of women in economic activity is at a lower rate than their male counterparts, the
difference being higher in the older age group.
6.6 Employed Persons by Industrial Sector
A large majority of the employed disabled persons, work in agriculture, forestry and fishing (Table 6.7
based on a special tabulation) in 2013. The proportion of workers in this sector (72.64 percent) is higher
than that of the general population (64.3) by 8.3 percentage points.

57
In terms of industrial sectors 72.64 percent of the employed disabled persons are in the Primary Sector,
8.06 percent in the Secondary Sector and 19.32 percent in the Tertiary Sector. The corresponding
proportions of the employed among the general population are: 64.3 percent, 11.5 percent and 23.8
percent respectively.
Among the persons with disability the participation of women in the primary sector (70.65 percent) is
lower than that of men (73.89 percent). The shift from agriculture to industry and service activities has
taken place at a lesser pace among the employed persons who are disabled compared to the general
population.

 CHAPTER 7
Other Characteristics

7.1 Fertility Level

The survey questions on fertility are available in Part 3 of the household questionnaire at Appendix II in
2013, of this report. In the absence of priority tables on fertility of women with disability, a special
tabulation was undertaken to fill the gap. The main results are presented below:

Based on the number of births during the 12 months preceding the census and survey date the total
fertility rate (TFR) for the sub-group of women with disability is arrived at as 0.87 live births per
woman during her reproductive period. The TFR of all women obtained from the census is 1.6.Both
these figures obviously indicate under estimates. In any population census and survey, there is always a
significant under reporting of live births when direct questions about births in the last 12 months are
asked. In view of this problem in census and survey data on live births the NIS applied indirect
techniques to 2013 data and obtained a range of plausible values of TFR (see NIS Analytical Report 1
on Fertility and Mortality in Cambodia 2013) and discussed them in the light of various evidences.
Based on these discussions the TFR for Cambodia was finally estimated as 2013 it was 2.8 per 1,000
live birth for the period (with reference period of March 2012- March 2013).(3.1 for rural and 2.2 for
urban)

At this juncture it would be appropriate to compare some of the relevant demographic indicators of the
disabled population with those of the general population derived from CIPS 2013.

Table 7.2 Selected demographic Indicators of the General Population and the Disabled
Populations, 2013
General Disabled
Demographic Indicators
Population Population
SMAM: Males 26.2 28.87
Females 23.7 27.63
Child Woman Ratio per 1,000 women in the age group 15-44 287 134
Median Age: Males 23.40 44.93
Females 25.77 47.01
Crude Birth Rate per 1,000 population 18.5 8.2
TFR 2.8 1.6

With this background and adopting the indirect method of estimation used in the Analytical Report 1 on
Fertility and Mortality in Cambodia the TFR of disabled women in Cambodia is estimated at 1.6 (1.68
for urban and 1.86 for rural) in 2013. These results confirm that the fertility level of disabled women is
much lower than the fertility level of women in Cambodia as a whole.

7.2 Mortality
At the CIPS 2013 though mortality data was collected for the total population, no separate mortality
related information in respect of persons with disability data was obtained. It is therefore not possible to
make an estimate of mortality levels of this special group. For the general population of Cambodia that

59
included the disabled population the infant mortality rate was estimated as 33 per 1,000 live births (9 for
urban areas and 38 for rural areas). The maternal mortality ratio is 250 per 100,000 live births ( 67 for
Urban and 299 for rural)

7.3 Migration Pattern

In 2013 a migrant is defined for the survey purpose as a person who has changed his or her residence
from one place (village) to another. Migrants among the disabled population numbering 128,921
constitute 42.74 percent of the total disabled population of 301,629 in Cambodia. In the urban areas the
disabled migrants (27,373) constitute 65.72 percent of the disabled population (41,649). The rural
migrants (101,548) among the disabled form 39.06 percent of the rural disabled population (259,980).
For the general population in Cambodia the migration rates are 28.45 percent, 48.66 percent and 22.94
percent in the total, urban and rural areas respectively. The migration rates are therefore higher for the
disabled population compared to the general population. In both the populations the migration rate of the
urbanites is very much higher than that of the rural residents. The migration situation may also be
viewed in terms of persons who had never moved from the places where they were found on the survey
day. A little more than one third of the persons with disability never had a residence other than the place
where they were enumerated (Table 7.3).

Urban 37.88 42.56 32.69
Rural 70.02 64.37 76.13

The number of migrants among the disabled persons in the urban areas in 2013 forms 21.2 percent of the
total number of disabled migrants. The sex ratios of total, urban and rural migrants among the disabled
population are: 125.5, 97.8 and 134.3. Among the total disabled population in the country the
corresponding sex ratios are: 108.6, 110.7 and 108.2. There is a predominant male population among the
disabled population and the disabled migrants, except in urban areas, the latter having much higher sex
ratios than the former in all the areas.

 Figure 7.1 Migrants with disability by previous Residence, Cambodia 2013

As may be seen from Table 7.4, in 2013 most of the migrants have moved within the province of
enumeration. Among the general population also this is the position with 55.38 percent among them
having their previous residence within the province of enumeration.

In the urban areas about 34 percent of the disabled internal migrants are from other urban areas and 66
percent from rural areas. In the rural areas the corresponding percentages are 11 and 89.

Rural to Rural migrants constitute the bulk of the total internal migrants among the disabled persons
(Table 7.5). The maximum proportion of disabled migrants has moved into their places of enumeration
20 years and more before the survey date of March 3, 2013 (Table 7.6). About 10 percent had migrated
to the places of enumeration less than five years before the survey date.

7.4 Household Characteristics

At the CIPS 2013 information on persons with disability was collected from each household. If any
member of household was disabled, particulars regarding his/her disability were ascertained and
recorded by the enumerator in the household questionnaire using the prescribed code.
Housing and household characteristics as well as amenities and facilities available for the household
were common for the disabled members in the household and other members of the household. Hence,
these general aspects are not included in this report as they are analyzed separately in another report on
housing and household characteristics. While, in 2013 it will be of interest to look at headship of
household by persons with disability. Out of 301,629 disabled persons 114,655 persons are heading
households. This works out to 38 percent. In other words one among three disabled persons is heading a
household. Among 157,007 disabled males 84,746 (54.05 percent) are heads of households. The number
of household heads (29,909) among 144,622 disabled females constitutes 20.7 percent. The percentage
of distribution of male and female heads of household by age is presented in Table 7.7. The highest
percentage of male heads of household is found in the age group 55-59. The corresponding age group
for females is 65-69. It is noted that the head of household with disability, especially women aged 75+
are more than males. The heads of household with disability, especially women among them are one of
the vulnerable groups who need support.

 Chapter 8
Summary and Conclusions
The implementation of the welfare measures for the persons with disability depends on reliable data on
their population size and characteristics. In the absence of administrative data the number of disabled
persons with the types of their disabilities has to be estimated either by surveys or censuses. In
Cambodia, persons with disability constitute one of the most vulnerable groups. A considerable section
of the disabled population who are amputees or persons with mental disability is a constant and grim
reminder of the legacy of war and internal conflicts in the past. The passing of the law on Protection and
Promotion of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in July 2009 marked a milestone in the ceaseless
efforts of the Royal Government of Cambodia to protect and promote the rights of persons with
disabilities. There are several NGOs, national and international who have been taking longstanding
interest in improving the lives and livelihoods of persons with disabilities in the country. Yet there are
several challenges lying ahead in this regard.

At the CIPS 2013, a disability question was included in the household schedule questionnaire. If any
member of a household had any of the following types of disability, it was recorded; “in seeing”, “in
speech”, “in hearing”, “in movement”,and in “mental disability” there are some specification in mental
retardation, mental illness, “Other” and “multiple disability”. If a person had two or more types of
disability of these was recorded by the enumerator according to the acceptation of respondent. Due to
differences in the definition of disability the number of disabled as per the surveys may differ from the
estimates made by other surveys.

The number of persons with disability, or the disabled population in Cambodia is 301,629 according to
CIPS 2013. These are based on the definitions adopted for CIPS (see the definition in the general
report). It includes 157,008 males in 2013.( 52.05 percent) and 144,622 females (47.95 percent).

The disabled population constitutes in 2013, 2.06 percent for the whole country’s population of
14,676,591 (1.07 percent among males and 0.99 percent among females)

In the survey the disability rate which gives the extent of disability in each area is the highest in
Kampong Chhnang(3.74), Kampong Thom(3.36), Preah Sihanouk(3.55), Otdar Meanchey (3.54). The
disability rate is much higher than the national average in each of the provinces of Battambang,
Kampong Chhnang, Kampong Thom, Koh Kong, Kratie , Prey Veng, Preah Sihanouk, Takeo, Otdar
Meanchey and Pailin. This is mainly due to the fact that Pailin was one of those provinces in the
Northwest that were seriously affected by war and civil disturbances during the Khmer Rouge regime.
For the same reason, perhaps, the disability rate is much higher than the national average in each of the
provinces (Table 3.2). In each of the remaining provinces the disability rate is less than the national
average.

The disability rate is higher in the rural areas than in the urban areas at the national level.

Sex ratio of the disabled population at the national level is 101.6 as against 94.3 among the general
population indicating a higher proportion of males among the disabled population in the country. The
urban and rural sex ratios of the disabled population are 91.6 and 107.8 respectively; they were lower
than the corresponding of 125.7. The sex ratio of the disabled population at province level varies over a
wide range from 80.9 in Prey Veng and 83.2 in Mondul Kiri to 218.1 and 230.5 in Pailin in 2013.

The working age group accounts for 67.99 percent of the disabled population whereas among the
general population it constitutes 65.6 percent. In 2013, the proportions of the elderly among the disabled

63
population and the general population are 21.37 percent and 5.0 percent respectively. In the age group
35–39 in 2013, a decline in the population may be observed (see Figure 4.1). This is due to decline in
fertility and high mortality during the Khmer Rouge period.

In 2013, the median age of the disabled population works out to 45.76 years as against 24.52 years for
the population of Cambodia as a whole. The median ages of males and females among the disabled
population are 44.93 and 47.01 respectively; the corresponding median ages among the general
population are 23.40 and 25.77 respectively. The median ages of the disabled population in the urban
and rural areas are calculated as 44.22 and 45.96 respectively higher than the corresponding of 33.71
and 36.90 respectively (Table 4.5).

In general, those who suffer from different physical handicaps are mostly in the age cohort 15-29 which
represents people born during the troubled years 1979-1993 following the Khmer Rouge regime.
Disabilities in vision, in hearing, in movement other and multiple disabilities acquired are more
prevalent among the older age groups. Following the age group 15-29, children in the age group 0-14
have a high proportion of mentally disabled persons. These characteristics are noticed in most of the
provinces also on examining the priority Table E1 (not published in this report).

In 2013 among the persons with disability aged 15 and over as a whole it is observed that 26.87 percent,
is never married as against the corresponding percentage of 31.14, among the general population. The
percentage widowed (13.63) among the disabled population (aged 15+) is much higher than that of the
general population (5.03) in 2013. This is mainly because the disabled population is an “old population”
whereas the general population is comparatively younger. The percentage of divorced among disabled
women (2.42 percent) is also higher than that in the general population (1.76 percent). The percentages
of never married among males and females aged 15+ in the general population are 35.31 and 27.40
respectively. The corresponding percentages among the disabled population are 24.64 and 29.33.The
proportion of never married decreases with the increase in age. However about 90 percent of the
disabled population are already married by the age of 45 whereas such a situation is reached by the
general population even by the age of 30.

In the higher age for women, from the age group 55-59 upwards, the proportion of widowed is
substantially high and it increases with age. These old and physically challenged widows constitute the
most vulnerable group who need assistance and support. In the higher age groups males marry much
younger women either for the first time or as remarriage once they are widowed, divorced or separated.
This tendency does not exist among older women. In all the age groups the proportion of widows is
higher, with its rise being faster compared to that of widowers. This is due to the following reasons: (i)
wives are generally younger than their husbands (ii) the expectation of life is higher for women than
men (iii) men tend to remarry at a proportion very much higher than that of women. The Singulate Mean
Age at Marriage (SMAM) of the disabled population is much higher than that of the general population.
as may be seen from Table 4.11 in 2013. Marriage among the disabled population seems to be relatively
delayed.

Noticed that the literacy level of the disabled population for females is lower than that of the disabled
population for total and males. There is an exception in speech: the literacy level of the disabled
population for females is higher than that of the disabled population for total and males.

Table 5.2 gives in 2013 the literacy level of the disabled population aged 7 and over in the provinces
(including Phnom Penh Municipality) for total disabled population. The literacy rates vary from
province to province. The lowest rates are recorded in Mondul Kiri province and the highest in Kandal
for total, males and females. The literacy levels in the following provinces are each above the national

64
average of 58.03: Banteay Meanchey, Battambang, Kampong Speu, Kandal, Kratie, Phnom Penh, Siem
Reap, Preah Sihanouk , Kep and Pailin. In each of the remaining provinces the literacy level is lower
than the national level.

Barring older age groups, the adult literacy rate is at its lowest level in the age group 30-34 which
contains persons born during the Khmer Rouge period (Figure 5.2). The highest level of adult literacy is
seen the age group 50-54 followed by the age group 55-59. The persons belonging to these age groups
are those born during the year 1951-56. Presumably progressive measures were taken to improve
education after the country became independent during this period.

The CIPS 2013 give the graphic flow not uniform

Among the total literate population with disability in 2013, the proportions of those who have completed
Primary level of education (25.0 percent) and Lower secondary level (17 percent) (see Table 5.4) are
lower than the corresponding proportions of the general population, namely, 29.4 percent and 21 percent
respectively, given in the National Report on the Final CIPS Results released in 2013. Those who have
the qualification of Secondary School/Baccalaureate level and beyond constitute hardly 1 percent as
against about 2 percent among the general population. The literacy and educational levels of female
disabled persons are generally lower than those of male disabled population. In each of the educational
level categories of “None” and Primary not completed the percentage of females is higher than that of
males.

The rural proportions for primary not completed and primary completed are higher than the
corresponding urban proportions. In the higher educational levels, however, the trend is reversed as
expected. It is possible that in the urban areas a portion of primary completed persons might have moved
to Lower Secondary whereas their counterparts in the rural areas might have stopped with Primary
completed level without pursuing higher education.

With an average of 33.98 percent in 2013(Table 5.13) at the national level, the proportion of males who
have completed the primary level of education ranges from 13.32 in Koh Kong province to 57.13 in
Banteay Meanchey province. The percentages of females at that level varies from 0.00 in Mondul Kiri
and Svay Rieng provinces to 45.39 in Pailin province, the national average being 25.06 percent. In
respect of Lower Secondary level the proportion of persons ranges from nil in Banteay Meanchey,
Kampong Speu, Koh Kong, Mondul Kiri, Preah Vihear, and Pursat provinces to 15.23 in Ratanak Kiri
province. The proportion of persons who have completed Secondary/Technical Diploma varies from
1.71 in Banteay Meanchey province to 19.64 in Preah Sihanouk province. In Kampong Cham, Kandal,
Koh Kong, Mondul Kiri, Prey Veng, Pursat, and Takeo provinces there are no females among the
disabled with Secondary/Technical Diploma level qualification. The proportions of disabled persons
who have completed a level of education beyond Secondary/Technical Diploma like under graduate and
graduate, are very poor in all the provinces with nil in the provinces of Banteay Meanchey, Battambang
Kampong Cham, Kampong Chhnang, Koh Kong, Kratie, Mondul Kiri, Preah Vihear, Prey Veng, Pursat,
Ratanak Kiri, Siem Reap, Stung Treng, Svay Rieng, Takeo and Otdar Meanchey, and with Phnom Penh
Municipality recording 6.77 percent at the other end.

In 2013 the literacy levels of persons with disabilities in seeing, in movement and in other are higher
than the national average of 58.03 (Table 5.11) for the total disabled population. The literacy rate of
disabled in hearing is 28 percent points less than the national average. The literacy rates of those
disabled in speech (46.86), the literacy rate of persons mentally illness disabled (48.07) and the literacy
rate of persons in multiple disabled (44.70) are much below the national average. The literacy rates of
those disabled in mental retardation (26.08) is the most less than other type of disabilities and the

65
national average. The literacy rate is higher among the persons who became mentally illness disabled
than that of the disabled persons in mental retardation in respect of movement and mental disabilities. In
the other three categories of disability the opposite trend is noticed. The educational levels of persons in
each type of disability are also presented in Table 5.11.

In the case of mentally disabled, some explanation seems necessary: Since some mentally disabled
persons have literacy and educational attainment, the following situations are feasible:

Mentally illness disabled

(i) They might have become mentally disabled after they completed some educational level
(ii) Partially disabled persons might have also been treated as mentally disabled
Mentally disabled in mental retardation
(i) In some cases respondents might have reported mentally illness disabled persons in the category of
mentally disabled persons in mental retardation

In 2013 crude economic activity rates (the percentage of the economically active population to the total
population) or simply economic activity rates (unless stated otherwise in this chapter) for the general
population of Cambodia and the disabled population are 56.78 and 53.65 respectively. For males and
females among the general population the economic activity rates are 57.75 and 55.86. The
corresponding proportions among the disabled population are 62.43 and 44.13 respectively. It shows that
women with disability participate in economic activity on a lesser scale than their counterparts in the
general population. This trend is reversed in respect of males.

The economic activity rates of the disabled population in mental illness are generally higher than those
of disabled population in mental retardation except in the older ages (60+). However in the age group
15-59 for females disabled in mental illness the economic activity rate is slightly lower than the
corresponding rate under disabled in mental retardation (Tables 6.1 and 6.2).

In 2013,Dependents constitute fifty-six percent of the economically inactive population among the
disabled. About 13.4 percent are students. Home makers form only about 17.4 percent. Among the
economically inactive disabled males, dependents, students and home makers form respectively 56.3
percent, 18.4 percent and 12.3 percent. Among the economically inactive disabled females, these
proportions are respectively 55.7 percent, 9.5 percent and 21.5 percent.

For the general population of Cambodia in the age group 15-64 in 2013, the economic activity rates are
82.2 for total, 84.5for males and 80.00 for females. The economic activity rates for the disabled
population in the same age group (Table 6.5) are lower than those of the general population. While the
economic activity rate for males is lower by 8.36 points, the economic activity rate for females is lower
by 19.37 points. The urban economic activity rates are lower than the corresponding rural rates as in the
case of the general population. The economic activity rates are 73.18, 79.86 and 67.36 for total, males
and females in the general population in the urban areas. The corresponding rural economic activity
rates are 84.85, 86.06 and 83.75 respectively. The gap between the economic activity rates of males
(76.17) and females (60.62) among the disabled population is much greater than the gap between the
two rates among the general population (84.5 for the males and 80.00 for the females).

Like the crude economic activity rate in 2013, the economic activity rate of the disabled population aged
15-64 also varies over a wide range among the provinces. It ranges from 61.2 in Kampong Cham to 86.6
in Mondul Kiri province for both sexes, from 63.6 in Phnom Penh Municipality to 86.1 in Pailin
province for males and from 45.5 in Kampong Cham to 92.4 in Mondul Kiri province for females.

66
The proportion of children in the labour force is slightly higher among the disabled population (about 4
percent) compared to general population (about 2 percent) in 2013. Special efforts are needed to
mainstream the disabled children of varying disabilities so as to eradicate child labour. It is also noticed
that in both the age groups 15-59 and 60+ the participation of women in economic activity is at a lower
rate than their male counterparts, the difference being higher in the older age group.

A large majority of the employed disabled persons, work in agriculture, forestry and fishing (Table 6.7
based on a special tabulation) in 2013. The proportion of workers in this sector (72.64 percent) is higher
than that of the general population (64.3) by 8.3 percentage points.

In terms of industrial sectors 72.64 percent of the employed disabled persons are in the Primary Sector,
8.06 percent in the Secondary Sector and 19.32 percent in the Tertiary Sector. The corresponding
proportions of the employed among the general population are: 64.3 percent, 11.5 percent and 23.8
percent respectively.

Among the persons with disability the participation of women in the primary sector (70.65 percent) is
lower than that of men (73.89 percent). The shift from agriculture to industry and service activities has
taken place at a lesser pace among the employed persons who are disabled compared to the general
population.

Adopting the indirect method of estimation used in the Analytical Report 1 on Fertility and Mortality in
Cambodia the TFR of disabled women in Cambodia is estimated at 1.6 (1.68 for urban and 1.86 for
rural). These results confirm that the fertility level of disabled women is much lower than the fertility
level of women in Cambodia as a whole.

The migration rate is higher for the disabled population (42.74 percent) compared to the general
population (28.45 percent) in 2013. In both the populations the migration rate of the urbanites is very
much higher than that of the rural residents. A little more than one third of the persons with disability
never had a residence other than the place where they were enumerated. Most of the migrants have
moved within the province of enumeration. Among the general population also this is the position with
55.38 percent among them having their previous residence within the province of enumeration.

One among three disabled persons (38 percent) is heading a household in 2013. About 54 percent among
males and 20.7 percent among females are heads of households. The highest percentage of male heads
of household is found in the age group 45-49. The corresponding age group for females is 55-59. The
heads of household with disability, especially women among them are one of the vulnerable groups who
need support.

Where, Po is the population at the base year, Pt is the population at year 't' and 't' is the number of
years between Po and Pt. Here the compounding with the rate of growth 'r' is done on a
continuous basis.

Average Household Size

This is the average number of persons in normal or regular households (i.e. excluding institutional
and homeless households and households of boat and transient population).

Building

Building refers generally to a single structure on the ground. Sometimes it is made up of more
than one component unit which are used or likely to be used as dwelling (residence) or
establishments such as shops, business houses, offices, factories, workshops, work sheds, schools,
place of entertainments, place of worship, stores, etc. It is also possible that buildings, which have
components units, may be used for a combination of purpose such as shop-cum-residence,
workshop-cum-residence, office-cum-residence, etc.

Child-Woman Ratio

This is the ratio of children under 5 years old in a population to women in the age group 15-49. It
is computed by dividing the number of children aged 0-4 in the population by the number of
women aged 15-49.

Crude Birth Rate (CBR)

The number of live births in a year per 1,000 population

Crude Death Rate

The number of deaths per 1,000 population in a given year

Economic Activity Rate

The percentage of economic active population to total population

81
Dwelling

The room or the set of rooms in a building in which household resides

Educational Level

Educational level refers to completed level in this report

Economically Active Population (or labour force)

Persons with main activity as employed or unemployed during the reference period of one year
preceding the census date.

Economic Activity Rate of the working age group

Percentage of economically active population to total population within the age group 15-64

Economically Inactive (or not active) Population

Persons other than the economically active during the reference period of one year preceding the
census date.

Employed

Comprises persons who were in the following categories for 6 months (183 days) or more during
the one year preceding the census date:

(i) Persons who were in paid employment (e.g. working in public or private organization etc). (ii)
Persons who, during the reference period, performed some work for wage, salary, profit or family
gain in cash or kind. (iii) Persons who did not do any work for pay or profit during the reference
period although they had a job to which they could return. (e.g. off season workers like farmers or
fishermen), those on sick leave or leave without pay, those who could not work due to strike or
lockout in the organization they were working. (iv) Persons who were self-employed (e.g.
Running a shop by himself or herself, selling eatables, practicing as doctors, lawyer etc)

82
Fertility

Fertility is defined as the childbearing performance of a woman or group of women measured in

terms of the actual number of children born.

Gender

Refers to roles, attitudes and values assigned by culture and society to women and men

Gender Equity

Means fair treatment of women and men

Literacy Rate

This is calculated as percentage of literate persons to total population excluding children aged 0 to 6.

Head of Household

For survey purposes he or she is a person who is recognized as such in household. He or she is
generally the person who bears the chief responsibility for management of the household and
takes decisions on behalf of the household. The head of household need not necessarily be the
oldest member, but may be a female member or a younger member of either sex. The name of the
person who is recognized by the household as its head was recorded in the census. In the case of
an absentee de jure “Head”, the person who was responsible for managing the affairs of the
household was regarded as the Head for the census purpose.

Household

A group of persons who commonly live together and would take meals from a common kitchen
unless the exigencies of work prevented any of them from doing so.

Infant Mortality Rate

Infant Mortality Rate is the number of deaths of infants under age one year per 1,000 live births in
a given year.

83
Industrial Sector

Industry (or branch of economic activity) refers to the activity of the establishment or enterprise
in which the individual works. Industries are grouped according to following sectors:

Primary Sector: Section A (Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing) of the International Standard
Industrial Classification (ISIC)

Secondary Sector: Section B (Mining and Quarrying), C (Manufacturing), D (Electricity, Gas,

Steam and Air-Con Supply), E (Water supply, Sewerage, Waste Management and Remediation
Activities), F (Construction) of the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC)

Tertiary Sector: Sector G (Wholesale and Retail Trade, Repair of Motor Vehicles and
Motorcycles), H (Transportation and Storage), I (Accommodation and Food Service Activities), J
(Information and Communication), K (Financial and Insurance Activities), L (Real Estate), M
(Professional, Scientific and Technical Activities), N (Administrative and Support Service
Activities), O (Public Administration and Defense, Social Security), P (Education), Q (Human
Health and Social Work Activities), R (Art, Entertainment and Recreation), S (Other Service
Activities), T (Use Activities of Household as Employers), U (Activities of Extraterritorial
Organizations and Bodies) of the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC)

Lifetime Migration

Migration status of persons as determined by comparing the place of birth with place of residence

Literacy

Refers to the ability to read and write with understanding in any language. In CIPS 2013,
information on literacy in Khmer language and literacy in any other language was ascertained
from respondent. By definition all children of the age of 6 years or less are treated as illiterate.

Live Birth

This refers to the complete expulsion (delivery) or extraction from its mother of a product of
conception (baby), irrespective of the duration of pregnancy. The baby after such separation
breathes or shows other evidence of life, such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical
cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles, whether or not the umbilical cord has been cut
or the placenta is attached. Each product of such birth is considered as live birth.

84
Main Activity during Last Year

The activity of a person during 6 months (183 days) or more in the one year preceding the
reference date of the census.

Maternal Mortality

This refers to the number of women who die while pregnant, during delivery or within 42 days
after delivery.

Median Age

It is defined as the age, which divides the population into two equal size groups, one of which is
younger and the other of which older than the median.

Migration

This is the process of changing residence from one geographical location to another. In the 2008
Census it meant shifting residence by the person enumerated from another village or country
(which was his/her previous residence) to the village in which he/she was enumerated.

Myer’s Index

This is a measure of heaping on individual ages or terminal digits. The tendency of enumerators
or respondents to report certain ages at the expense of others is called age heaping, age preference
or digit preference (e.g. ages ending in 0 or 5). The theoretical range of Myer’s index extends
from the minimum of 0, when there is neither preference nor avoidance of any particular digit at
all, to the maximum of 90 when all ages are reported in a single terminal digit.

85
Nature of Industry, Trade or Service

Refers to the sector of economy in which a person worked. Examples are: Cultivation, fishing,
livestock rearing, selling of vegetables, automobile repairs, manufacture of toys, transport service,
school or educational service, sale of clothes (retail), manufacture of eatables etc. If a person
works as sales assistant in a Gas Station his occupation is sales person and the nature of his trade
is retail sale of petrol.

Occupation

The name of the job a person does (e.g. cashier, primary school teacher, nurse, blacksmith,
watchman, manager etc.)

Physical/Mental Disability

See Appendix IV for definition adopted in CIPS 2013

Population Density

Number of persons per sq.km

Primary Sampling Units (PSUs)

The Enumeration Areas (EAs) of 2008 General Population census of Cambodia which were
updated for use in CIPS 2013

Rural

Areas other than urban are treated as Rural.

Secondary Economic Activity

(i) For persons employed for the major part of the year preceding the survey (i.e. main
activity employed) this refers to a second job or activity which gave him/her additional
income in cash or kind.

86
 (ii) In respect of others (i.e. unemployed or economically inactive for the major part of the
year preceding the census date) it refers to some job or activity undertaken to earn income
in cash or kind. In other words it is their marginal work.

Secondary Sampling Units (SSUs)

The households in the EAs

Sex Ratio

The number of males per 100 females in a population

Singulate Mean Age at Marriage (SMAM)

It compares the age-specific proportions of those who are never married with those who are ever-
married calculating the mean age at which the transition between the two states was made. For
details of the methodology developed by John Hajnal, please see " The Methods and Materials of
Demography" by Shryock and Siegel.

Total Fertility Rate (TFR)

The total fertility rate is the number of children which a woman of hypothetical cohort would bear
during her life time if she were to bear children throughout her life at the rates specified by the
schedule of age specific fertility rates for the particular year and if none of them dies before
crossing the age of reproduction. Therefore Total fertility rate is the number of births a woman
would have if she experienced a given set of age specific birth rates throughout her reproductive
span. It is the sum of age-specific fertility rates.

UN Age accuracy Index

It is the sum of (i) the mean deviation of the age ratio for males from 100 (ii) the mean deviation
of the age ratios for females from 100 and (iii) three times the mean of the age-to-age differences
in reported sex ratios. In this procedure the age ratio is defined as the ratio of the population in a
given age group to one-half the sum of population in the preceding and following groups.

Unemployed

Persons who were without employment, but were seeking employment or available for
employment, for 6 months (183 days) or more during the one year preceding the census date.

87
Urban
Urban areas are based on the criteria adopted in the “Reclassification of Urban Areas in Cambodia, 2011”
(February 2012) published by the National Institute of Statistics, Ministry of Planning, Phnom Penh

Usual Activity Status of population

This refers to the main activity status of a person during the one year preceding the census date as
employed, unemployed or economically not active.

Whipple’s Index

Whipple’s Index is a measure of preference for ages ending in 0 and 5. Its range is from 100,
indicating no preference for 0 and 5, up to 500 indicating that only 0 and 5 were reported.
