Abstract | We developed a model that can classify households based on their demographic profile and household assets. A methodology is then provided in the use of this model in identifying householdbenefeciaries for some targetted interventions. Using the 2009 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES), five income clusters were identified. In a generalized logistic regression model, geolocation of households, urbanity, employment status and education of household head, presence of some assets, and nature of housing units can significantly identify income class of a household. |
