Sampling Procedure
Sample size:
Households: 5 051
Individuals: 5 051
Sampling and statistical methodology:
Data of the Population Register are used. The State Enterprise Centre of Registers is the manager of the Population Register. Data of the Population Register in on-line mode are submitted to Statistics Lithuania.
The Population Register database includes data on the residents of the Republic of Lithuania: the citizens of Lithuania, the citizens of foreign countries or persons without citizenship, declaring the place of residence in Lithuania or registering any changes of the civil state in a registry office.
The Population Register is updated regularly. All persons are obliged to declare their place of residence, i.e. to submit data on the address of the place of residence to an institution responsible for the declaration of the place of residence.
However, not all movements of the population within the country are reflected: not all persons report about changing the address to a responsible institution or the declared place of residence is not the main place of residence. Consequently, if the person included in the sample does not live at the address specified, the person actually living at that address whose birthday is the closest to the date of the interview is asked to answer the survey questionnaire.
A one-stage sampling was used, with stratification by type of residence (urban/rural) and by size (for urban area). A simple random sample of individuals aged 16- 74 from every stratum was drawn using the Population Register. Households whose members are selected are surveyed. One individual in the household was interviewed.
A news release on the use of information technologies in households is released in the 8th month of the reference year. Public Use data files are downloadable from the Official Statistics Portal.
