Income/Expenditure/Household Survey [hh/ies]
Survey on Household Incomes and Expenditures was introduced in Georgia in the second half of 1996 and has been carried out each year since then (on a quarterly basis). The survey was revised significantly in 2002. The State Department for Statistics of Georgia (SDS), following to a large extent unchanged poverty measurement methodology established in 1997, has regularly calculated and published poverty measurement results.
The Household Integrated Survey (HIS) in Georgia is conducted regularly from 1996 and has served to assess the level of consumption-based poverty since then. The HIS represents quarterly panel data. Each month 1/12 of the sample is refreshed.

The Household Survey consists in quarterly interviewing households in Tbilisi and 9 Regions of Georgia:
The sampling frame of households covers non-institutional part of the population. Those households are subject of observation which live at the sampled addresses. The sample size was selected so that various parameters could be estimated with satisfactory statistical precision not only on the level of the whole country but also on the level of the above listed regions.
When the data of the sample survey are expanded to the total population, each household included in the sample is given a statistical weighting which characterizes the total number of households represented by the selected household. The average value of basic weighting is 600 i.e. Each selected household is a representation of about 600 households.
The following factors are used for constructing a basic weighting:
Probability of selecting each big city, small town and village council.
Probability of selecting each constituency in big cities/small towns and the zone in village councils.
Probability of selecting each household within the constituency and the zone included in the sample.
The inverse value of the product of the three probabilities is the basic weighting of a household.
HIS questionnaire: The questionnaire consists of 8 sections:
