Income/Expenditure/Household Survey [hh/ies]
The household budget survey plays an important role in the analysis of the living standards of the population. It is the basic source of information on the revenues, outgoings, quantitative food consumption and other aspects of the living conditions of particular groups of the population.
The household budget survey provides detailed information on:
- the level and structure of expenditure as well as sources of goods and services;
- the consumption level of basic food products according to quantity, but also energetic value and nutrients;
- prices at which households purchase selected goods and services;
- the level and sources of income;
- households’ equipment with durable goods;
- dwelling conditions;
- the subjective evaluation of the material condition of households.
- the demographic structure of households, i.e. the number of household members, their age, gender, education, disability and economic activity.
The data obtained from the household budget survey allow for the analysis of the living conditions of the population, evaluation of the impact of various factors on the living conditions of the main population groups and their differentiation.
The main applications of the household budget survey results are as follows:
- the analysis of the living conditions level and differentiation for the main socio-economic groups of households and the reasons for this differentiation;
- the analysis of the living conditions level and differentiation for the main socio-economic groups of households according to the dynamic approach;
- the creation of weights for the calculation of consumer price indices on goods and services and thus indirectly for the validation of pensions, retirement pays and other social benefits;
- setting the minimum wage level;
- the estimation of households’ tax burden and auxiliary analysis for the determination of social benefits;
- natural consumption surveys;
- poverty measurement;
- studying nominal and real income levels and changes observed in this area for particular groups of households;
