Chapter 3: Sample DemographicsThis chapter contains information on the demographics of surveyed households, as well as demographic information on women between 15 and 49 years of age and children between 10 and 14 years of age who were selected to complete the survey. Household demographics Table 3.1 reveals the 2,590 households that were sampled in 12 perfectures in Albania. Of the 2,590 households surveyed, 43.1% were urban and 56.9% were rural.
Women’s demographics Table 3.2 reveals the demographic characteristics of the sample of 2,590 women. Of the women surveyed, they ranged in age from 15 to 49 years, with a fairly equal distribution of women in each age group, except for a slight under-representation of women in the age groups 15 to 17 years and 18 to 21 years. The mean age was 33.7 years.
Most of the surveyed women were currently married or living with an intimate partner (75.2%), yet 21.4% were single, 2.0% divorced/separated, and 1.4% widowed. The majority of households were Muslim (75.7%). Table 3.2 reveals that most of the 2,590 women surveyed had some education: .2% had no education, 1.4% had only a primary/elementary education (up to 4th grade), 47.9% completed a secondary education (up to 9th grade), 38.5% completed a high school education (up to 16th grade), and 11.9% completed a university education. Figure 3.1 reveals that women in urban areas were significantly more likely to have a high school education (46.5%) or university education (17.8%) than women from rural areas (28.0% and 4.1% respectively). Women from rural areas were significantly more likely to have only a secondary education (66.7%) compared to women from urban areas (33.7%; see also Appendix Table 1). Figure 3.1. Level of Education by Urban vs. Rural  *Note: Comparison percentages are based on valid percents and do not reflect missing cases.
Finally, Table 3.2 reveals that only 40.6% of the 2,590 women surveyed worked outside of the home for at least 20 hours per week in the month prior to the interview; while 58.6% of the women surveyed did not work outside of the home in the month prior to the interview. Figure 3.2 reveals that women in urban areas (46.4%) were significantly more to work outside of the home than women in rural areas (32.9%; see also Appendix Table 1). Table 3.3 reveals that among the 1,518 women who reported they did not work outside of the home in the month prior to the interview, 24.2% maintained household responsibilities limited their ability to work outside of the home. In addition, 9.4% reported they were unable to work outside of the home because they were attending school, 4.9% were unable to find someone to take care of the children, 1.5% had a chronic disease/disability, 1.2% reported their parents do not allow them to work outside of the home, 1.0% reported their Figure 3.2.

husband did not allow them to work outside of the home, .8% had no wish or need to work, .4% recently returned from work as an immigrant, and .4% were working less than 20 hours per week. In addition, 14% of the women maintained they were unemployed and looking for a job at the time of the survey.
Children’s demographics Table 3.4 reveals the demographic characteristics of the sample of children. Among the 991 children surveyed, 50.7% were male and 49.3% female. They ranged in age from 10 to 14 years, with a fairly equal distribution of children in each age category. The mean age was 12 years.
Figure 3.3 reveals there was also a fairly equal distribution of male and female children in each of the age categories. Thus, any differences between age categories in regard to children’s experiences with domestic violence will not be based upon gender representation differences across the age categories (see also Appendix Table 2). Figure 3.3. Children’s age by gender  *Note: Comparison percentages are based on valid percents and do not reflect missing cases.
Finally, Figure 3.4 reveals there was a fairly equal representation of male and female children in urban and rural areas. Therefore, any differences between urban and rural areas in regard to children’s experiences with domestic violence will not be based upon gender representation differences across urban and rural areas (see also Appendix Table 2).
