    Series Information

    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.

    Abstract

    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;
    • detailed surveys of the consumer market, forecasts and other economic analyses;
    • sociological and other kinds of monographic studies.

    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    The adopted sampling scheme was a geographically stratified and two-stage one with different selection probability at the first stage. The sampling units for the first stage were the area survey points (asp) and those for the second stage were dwellings.

    The first stage sampling frame was based on the records of statistical areas (sets of areas) designed for the National Census purposes and updated annually by the changes resulting from the administrative division of the country as well as construction of new and dismantle of old houses. The sampling frame keeps in record information about every statistical area concerning address characteristics as well as the estimated numbers of inhabitants and dwellings.

    I. subsample 1 - selected in 2007 for the surveys in 2008-2009,

    II. subsample 2 - selected in 2008 for the surveys in 2009-2010.

    Both the subsamples were selected according to the same sampling scheme and since 2005 the second subsample has been increased by 50% of rural asp.

    The second stage sampling frame was based on the registers of inhabited dwellings in the selected asp, prepared by the regional statistical offices. The selection of dwellings was done in accordance with the following rules:

    I. the adopted model is full rotation with a monthly replacement of the sample;

    II. for each month 2 dwellings per asp are selected and all the households from these dwellings participate in the survey;

    III. every selected dwelling participates in the survey in the same month of the two consecutive years, i.e. 2008 and 2009 for subsample 1 and 2009 and 2010 for subsample 2;

    IV. for every asp a reserve sample of dwellings is selected in order to replace dwellings inhabited by not participated households. The replacement is made in the order the dwellings were selected for the reserve.
