Gallup Hungary commissioned InfoPro to conduct the survey in 2014. It covered a broad range of business environment topics including access to finance, corruption, infrastructure, crime, competition, and performance measures. The study consisted of a corporate survey with 570 enterprises located in the Greater Beirut area and large cities nationwide and aimed to:
- Provide statistically significant investment climate indicators that are comparable across countries
- Assess the constraints to private sector growth and job creation
- Build a panel of establishment-level data that will make it possible to track changes in the business environment over time, thus allowing impact assessments of reforms
- Collect in-depth information concerning the labour market situation of young men and women and quantify the relative ease or difficulty of labour market entry
- Identify critical issues in the youth employment challenge and understand blockages
- Identify areas for policy and programme additions or revisions
- Improve youth employment policy making
