Methodology
Sampling Sample size of 500 individuals from 250 households (2 persons per household - the main adult woman in the household (index woman) and the main adult man (typically a spouse) from the same household. The estimation of the required sample size for the quantitative household survey was based on power calculations using data from a previous WELI survey conducted in Tanzania (11). The sampling unit was a farm household, while the unit of analysis was the individual farmer from within a farm household. The sample size estimation yielded a minimum required total sample of 250 households. The study’s design involved collecting data from the 250 households in which two primary decision-makers, a woman (“index woman”) and her husband, or the main adult male, were to be interviewed, yielding 500 individual responses
Unit of analysis Household
Universe Cattle keeping households that were members of dairy cooperatives from selected Kebeles from Lemo and Kedida Gamela woredas in the SNNP region and Bahir Dar Zuria woreda in the Amhara region

Abstract

The data consists of responses used to calculate the empowerment of women from 250 households. The data was collected between February and March 2022 from Amhara and SNNP regions in Ethiopia. The data consists of two datasets per household, one from the main woman in the household and the other from the main man (typically a spouse) from the same household. The data is useful in Estimating women's empowerment in Livestock Index (WELI) and its composite indicators.
