MESSAGE FROM UNFPA
The completion of the Socio-Demographic and Economic Survey (SDES) in Daykundi marks another
milestone in the provinces history. Information is now available on Daykundis population: the size
DQGDJHVH[GLVWULEXWLRQHPSOR\PHQWFRQGLWLRQPLJUDWLRQIHUWLOLW\HGXFDWLRQPRUWDOLW\KRXVHKROG
and housing characteristics. This information can be used for resource allocation and evidence-
based local development planning and programme monitoring and evaluation. The survey results

Together with Ghor Province, Daykundi was the second cluster of provinces where the SDES was
carried out. Subsequently, the SDES has been conducted in three more provinces (Kabul, Parwan,
and Kapisa) while Samangan is on-going. It is planned that all provinces will be covered by 2018.
The SDES in Daykundi has revealed that half of the population of the province was aged 15 years
or younger during the time of the survey with the youth (aged 15-24 years) comprising 20.6 percent
of the provinces population, implying therein a very young age structure. This supported the fact
that the total fertility rate recorded in the province was high at 7.6 children per woman. The survey
also reveals that Miramor District had the largest share of the provinces population at 18.7 percent
followed by Sharistan District at 16.6 percent.
The SDES was successfully undertaken through the leadership of the Central Statistics Organization

2. INTRODUCTION
The importance of population data in the formulation of government policies as well as their
implementation and monitoring cannot be over-emphasized. Population data provides essential

to-date and accurate data hinders development; data is vital for robust evidence-based planning,
programme development, and project monitoring.
The last census was carried out in Afghanistan in 1979. Recognizing the need for up-to-date data,
WKH&HQWUDO6WDWLVWLFV2UJDQL]DWLRQ&62DQGWKH8QLWHG1DWLRQV3RSXODWLRQ)XQG81)3$ZDV
conceptualized the Socio-Demographic and Economic Survey (SDES) as an alternative way of
addressing data gaps at the local level.

Provinces. The SDES provides essential information on the composition of the population, education,
employment status and housing unit characteristics, which are vital for determining the needs of
different segments of the population. Importantly, the SDES makes data readily available at lower
levels of disaggregation, i.e. district level data suitable for local development planning.
The SDES also collects data to monitor progress towards the achievement of Afghanistans
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), such as school attendance, infant mortality, child mortality,
maternal mortality, access to improved sources of drinking water and improved sanitation.

projects. Most of these projects were designed and implemented despite a lack of reliable data,
especially at the village and district levels; a situation which persisted until the development of
the SDES. This lack of data has hampered effective policy formulation and strategic development

was designed to address this, by collecting social and economic data on Afghan households and lead
to better targeted policies and service delivery.
2. Data for Businesses and Industries

The business sector needs information on the environment, product availability and demand,
consumer capability and demand, labour dimensions and government policies. The SDES includes
important questions on the current economic activities and capacities of the population.
3. Housing Policy and Programmes

The SDES provides data on the current housing status of the residents, and the structural make-up
RIWKHKRXVHV,QFRQMXQFWLRQZLWKWKHSUROHRIWKHDUHDVLQKDELWDQWVDQGWKHLUFDSDFLW\WRDFTXLUH
such property it is possible to analyse housing demand in the area. This information can guide policy
makers in their design of basic housing programmes.
4. Data on Vulnerable Population

The SDES collects data on categories of the population with varying types of vulnerability. These
include people with disabilities, youth and women. The demographic and socio-economic attributes
of these groups require special treatment in policy and programming, and must be factored into
development processes at all levels.
5. Humanitarian Assistance
SDES includes a mapping and listing of all houses, business establishments and institutions at
the district and village levels as well as the location of various types of community infrastructure,
such as health facilities, schools, mosques, markets and roads, which is essential for emergency
preparedness plans that are required to prevent or mitigate widespread devastation in the event of a

urban area of Daykundi Province. It included the preparation of sketch maps on which the physical
location of each entity was marked during canvassing. The locations of important public services,
establishments and institutions such as schools, hospitals, banks, etc., were further pinpointed through
the use of global positioning system (GPS) devices and information on transportation to and from
villages, the availability of electricity, water sources, potential relocation sites, etc., was collected.
The surveyors used the output of these activities to guide them in conducting the survey and ensuring
complete coverage of their assigned areas. In total, around 2,000 villages and urban areas in Daykundi
Province were canvassed, with 543 enumeration areas.

are net under-enumeration of selected population groups and misreporting or mis-assignment of
age. Infants or children aged 0 are often under-reported because parents tend not to think of them as
members of the household. The very small number of infants and children aged 1 compared to those
aged 24 suggests an appreciable under-coverage of such children in the survey.

Presenting age data in 5-year age groups tends to minimize some of the irregularities present in
single-year-age data, especially errors brought about by age heaping or digit preference. Omission
of some population groups, say, young children and particularly infants, the aged, and mobile young
adults particularly those working away from home, could still affect the quality of grouped age data.

countries. In Daykundi Province, the 1564 age group accounted for 47.9 percent of the total
population. At the district level, this proportion ranged from 45.1 percent in Kejran to 51.3 percent in

8.1.5 Marital Status Composition
In the absence of migration and polygamy, the total number of married men in a population equals
the total number of married women. These numbers may, however, vary by age group as women
customarily marry men older than they are. This custom results in differences between the marital

survey, while among females in this age group, the corresponding percentage was much higher at
63.4 percent. In the 2529 age group, nine in ten of women were married, compared to seven in ten

In the 2012 Daykundi SDES, the question on whether a member of the sample household can read

rates by 5-year age groups for males and females aged 5 years and above for Daykundi and its
GLVWULFWVDUHVKRZQLQ)LJXUHDQG$SSHQGL[7DEOH
The literacy rate in Daykundi is low. In 2012, the literacy rate for the population aged 10 years and
above was 43.6 percent, this means that for every 100 persons in Daykundi who were aged 10 years
and above, about 44 were literate. The literacy rate for males was 54.4 percent, almost twice that for
females. At the district level, the literacy rate for males aged 10 years and above ranged from 39.5
percent in Kejran to 60.6 percent in Ishterlai. In comparison, the literacy rate for females 10 years and
above was lowest in Geti at 20.5 percent and highest in Ishterlai at 38.8 percent. The gaps between

The literacy rates shown in Table 9 for the population aged 10 years and above are higher than the
literacy rates computed for the population aged 15 years and above as reference population. This
suggests an improvement in Daykundis literacy especially in the 1014 age group. The data in this
table also illustrates a narrowing gap between male and female literacy rates. At the provincial level,

ratio of 59 computed based on the literacy rates for the population aged 10 years and above.
The literacy rate for the population aged 15 years and above in 2012 was 36.1 percent, with 49.2 for
males and 22.4 for females. The 2012 literacy rates for Daykundi for those aged 15 years and above
are higher than the national rates: with the countrys overall literacy rate at 31.4 percent (45.4 for
males and 17 percent for females).
Table 9 also shows the literacy rates for men and women in the 1524 age group, i.e. the youth
population. It also shows the ratios between the literacy rates of women and men in this age group.
This ratio is one of the indicators of Goal 3 of the Millennium Development Goal (MDG), that is, to

females. The literacy rates for males and females in the 20-24 age group are lower than those for
the 10-14 and 15-19 age groups but noticeably higher than the rates for the older age groups. Older
groups largely had similar rates, suggesting that there was no improvement in the populations literacy
for three decades or so. This higher literacy rate amongst the school age population suggests recent
improvement in educational systems and higher school participation.
8.3 EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT

Educational attainment is the highest level of education completed by an individual, and is usually
measured for the population aged 25 years and above, by which age most people have normally
completed their years of schooling. Tables 1012 present the highest grade or class, or level of
education completed by the entire population aged 25 years and above, and by males and females
respectively in this age group.

(712 for primary, 1315 for secondary and 1618 for high school) who, at the time of the survey,
were attending the appropriate level of school compared to the total number of children in these
age groups. An estimated 82,000 children aged 712 years in Daykundi were attending primary
school, 22,000 aged 1315 years were attending secondary school, and some 16,000 aged 16
18 years were attending high school. These numbers translate into net attendance ratios of 63.7
percent for primary school, 44.4 percent for secondary school, and 30.8 percent for high school.
The net primary attendance rate for Daykundi was higher than the national rate of 56.8 percent.
The net attendance ratios for boys for all levels of education are higher than for girls and the ratio
of girls to boys declines with the rise in level of education. In Daykundi, for every 100 boys aged
712 years attending primary school, 93 girls of the same age were at the same level. In high
school the ratio was much lower, with only 73 girls aged 16-18 who were attending high school per
100 boys of the same age attending the same level of education.
Khedir recorded the highest female to male net primary attendance, but also registered a lower
net attendance ratio for high school at 55.7 percent.
