Stratification:
Three levels of stratification were followed in designing the sample of the survey, including:
1. Stratification by region: (North, Middle, South West Bank) and Gaza Strip.
2. Stratification by economic activity according to ISIC.rev.4.
3. Stratification by employment group (20 employees and more, less than 20 employee).

There is not any deviations
Response Rate
Response rate = %89.1
Weighting
It is necessary, when calculating the estimations of the survey indicators, to calculate the weights of the establishments. The weight of an establishment is the mathematical inverse of choosing it, after the data editing, all the establishments weighted to substitute the non response and over coverage.
