Land tenure in the Dominican Republic

The interviewing was done by personnel from the Division of Agricultural Extension of the Secretariat of Agriculture of the Republic who lived in and knew the area in which the data were collected. The subsample drawn from the National Education Survey respondents was divided into farm and nonfarm groups for (1) the rural areas; (2) other urban zones, which included 29 municipios (municipalities); (3) the Santiago urban zone; and (4) the Santa Domingo metropolitan zone. The resulting eight strata, along with the number of household units sampled in each stratum, and the expansion factor used to calculate nationwide results are shown in Table1. Tables containing the detailed results of the study and supplementary data used are included in the Appendix. No references to individual tables are made in the text.
