Series Information
The HIES has been conducted, with some breaks, since 1963. However, in 1990 the HIES questionnaire was revised in order to address the requirements of a new system of national accounts. The four surveys of 1990-91, 1992-93, 1993-94 and 1996-97 were conducted using the revised questionnaire.
In 1998-99, the HIES data collection methods and the questionnaire were revised to reflect the integration of HIES with the Pakistan Integrated Household Survey (PIHS). After this the HIES was conducted as an Integrated Survey with PIHS in 1998-99 and 2001-02. Subsequently the survey was renamed in 2004 as Pakistan Social and Living Standards Measurement (PSLM) Survey and the same module of the HIES remain intact. PSLM, (District Level) Survey and PSLM/HIES (National/ Provincial level) Survey were conducted on alternating years. Before this Survey, six rounds of HIES were conducted during 2004-05, 2005-06, 2007-08, 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2013-14.
The current round of the HIES covers 24,238 households. It provides important information on household income, savings, liabilities, and consumption expenditure and consumption patterns at national and provincial level with urban/rural breakdown.

Abstract
The Household Integrated Income and Consumption Survey (HIICS) 2015-16, is designed by merging Household Integrated Economic Survey (HIES) and Family Budget Survey (FBS).
The HIES is a large, complex household survey that collects information on a number of different socio-economic dimensions, which has been conducted through PSLM/HIES surveys under PSLM project since 2005-2005. It provides information at national/provincial level with urban/rural breakdown. This survey contains data collected from 24,238 household based on 1605 urban and rural primary sampling units (PSUs). The period of field enumeration of HIES as part of HIICS 2015-2016 was from September 2015 to June 2016.
The Household Integrated Income and Consumption Survey presents household income and consumption expenditure data for the year 2015-2016. The format of the report is almost the same as of the earlier Household Integrated Economic Survey (HIES) conducted over the years 2004-2005, 2005-2006, 2007-2008, 2010-2011, 2011-2012 and 2013-2014.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) has developed its own area sampling frame for both Urban and Rural domains. Each city/town is divided into enumeration blocks. Each enumeration block is comprised of 200 to 250 households on the average with welldefined boundaries and maps. The list of enumeration blocks as updated from field on the prescribed performa by Quick Count technique for urban domain in 2013 and the updated list of villages/mouzas/dehs or its part (block), based on House Listing 2011 for conduct of Population Census are taken as sampling frame. Enumeration blocks are considered as Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) for urban and rural domains respectively.
A) Sample Design:
A stratified two-stage sample design is adopted for the survey.
B) Stratification Plan:
The stratification plan for HIICS survey for urban and rural areas is as follows:
- Urban Domain: Large cities Karachi, Lahore, Gujranwala, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Multan, Sialkot, Sargodha, Bahawalpur, Hyderabad, Sukkur, Peshawar, Quetta and Islamabad are considered as large cities. Each of these cities constitutes a separate stratum, further sub-stratified according to low, middle and high income groups based on the information collected in respect of each enumeration block at the time of demarcation/ updating of urban area sampling frame.
- Remaining Urban Areas: In all the four provinces after excluding the population of large cities from the population of an administrative division, the remaining urban population is grouped together to form a stratum.
- Rural Domain: Each administrative district for three provinces namely Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Punjab, Sindh, and each administrative division for Balochistan is considered as an independent stratum.
C) Selection of Primary Sampling Units (PSUs):
Enumeration blocks in both urban and rural domains are taken as Primary Sampling Units (PSUs). Sample PSUs from each ultimate stratum/sub-stratum are selected with probability proportional to size (PPS) method of sampling scheme. In both Urban and Rural domains, the number of households in an enumeration block is considered as measure of size.
D) Selection of Secondary Sampling Units (SSUs):
The listed households of sample PSUs are taken as Secondary Sampling Units (SSUs). A specified number of households i.e. 16 from both urban and rural sample PSU are selected with equal probability using systematic sampling technique with a random start.
E) Sample Size and its Allocation:
Keeping in view the objectives of the survey, the sample size for the four provinces has been fixed at 1668 sample blocks (PSU's) comprising 26688 households (SSU's), which is expected to produce reliable results at provincial level with urban and rural break down.
