Abstract
The Bosnia and Herzegovina Household Budget Survey (HBS) collects data on household expenditure for food and beverages, housing, furniture, clothing and footwear, health, transportation, communication, recreation and leisure, culture and education. In addition, basic information about household members, dwelling characteristics, household income and investment and data on social inclusion of their members were collected.
Household Budget Survey in BiH is a statistical survey by which households surveyed compile data on expenditures for consumption, consumption from own production, household investment and income. At the same time, the survey also collects data on more important indicators of living standard (housing conditions, households supply with durable consumer goods, way of heating the apartment, travel, or annual breaks), as well as data on basic demographic, economic and social characteristics of households. Continuous conducting of the survey ensures the comparability of the obtained data in different time periods.
The collected data will provide an opportunity to calculate and perceive the level and structure of personal consumption of households as a whole and according to socio-economic characteristics. One of the specific objectives of the Household Budget Survey is to obtain the necessary data used to produce weightings for the calculation of the consumer price index. In addition, research should provide data that are used as inputs for measuring personal consumption of households and their investments in BiH, over a certain period of time, and which are components for calculating gross domestic product by expenditure approach.
