This project seeks to test the feasibility of the HRS design on a probability sample that covers only the older Egyptian population. Moreover, the project aims to generate estimates of the expected unit response rates and item-response rates for some critical variables and to obtain the main parameters of the distribution of key variables as a base for sample power calculations. It also will document the logistics of the field work and data management activities.
