Abstract
Survey Objectives
1- To identify expenditure levels and patterns of population as well as socio- economic and demographic differentials.
2- To estimate the quantities and values of commodities and services consumed by households during the survey period to determine the levels of consumption and estimate the current demand which is an important input for national planning. Current and past demand estimates are utilized to predict future demands
3- To measure mean household and per-capita expenditure for various expenditure items along with socio-economic correlates.
4- To define percentage distribution of expenditure for various items used in compiling consumer price indices which is considered important indicator for measuring inflation
5- To define mean household and per-capita income from different sources.
6- To provide data necessary to measure standard of living for households and individuals. Poverty analysis and setting up a basis for social welfare assistance are highly dependant on the results of this survey.
7- To provide essential data to measure elasticity which reflects the percentage change in expenditure for various commodity and service groups against. the percentage change in total expenditure for the purpose of predicting the levels of expenditure and consumption for different commodity and service items in urban and rural areas.
8- To provide data essential for comparing change in expenditure against change in income to measure income elasticity of expenditure.
9- To study the relationships between demographic, geographical and housing characteristics of households and their income and expenditure for commodities and services.
10- To provide data necessary for national accounts especially in compiling inputs and outputs tables.
11- To identify consumers behavior changes among socio-economic groups in urban and rural areas.
12- To identify per capita food consumption and its main components of calories, proteins and fats according to its sources and the levels of expenditure in both urban and rural areas.
13- To identify the value of expenditure for food according to sources, either from household production or not, in addition to household expenditure for non food commodities and services.
14- To identify distribution of households according to the possession of some appliances and equipments such as (cars, satellites, mobiles …) in urban and rural areas.
15- To identify the percentage distribution of income recipients according to some background variables such as housing conditions, size of household and characteristics of head of household.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The sample of Family Income, Expenditure and Consumption Survey (FIECS) of 2004/2005 is a multi-stage stratified cluster sample and self-weighted to the extent practical. Its designed size is 48000 households allocated among governorates and their urban/rural components in proportion to size. The sample was selected in three stages (the second stage is considered dummy). The first two stages are related to the Master Sample which has been drawn directly before the field work of FIECS started. The third sampling stage concerns with the selection of a sample of 40 households from each Master Sample Areas (1200 areas with approximately 700 households in each).
(Refer Section 2 of Survey Methodology document for detail sampling design information)
(Refer Section 2 of Survey Methodology document for detail sampling design information)
Weighting
Although the sample has been designed to be a self-weighted, the size variability of the secondary stage units (area segments) around 700 households has resulted in an overall sampling rate, which is rather different from one area segment to another. Consequently, weights have been incorporated in extracting survey estimates. The overall weight is a composite of the design and response weights.

Type of Research Instrument
Three different questionnaires have been designed as following:
1- Expenditure and consumption questionnaire
2- Diary questionnaire for expenditure and consumption
3- Income questionnaire.
In designing the questionnaires of expenditure, consumption and income, we were taking into our consideration the following:
- Using the recent concepts and definitions of International Labor Organization approved in the International Convention of Labor Statisticians held in Geneva ,2003.
- Using the recent Classification of Individual Consumption according to Purpose(COICOP).
- Using more than one approach of expenditure measurement to serve many purposes of the survey

Cleaning Operations
Office Editing: It is one of the main stages of the survey. It started as soon as the questioners were received from the field and accomplished by selected work groups. It includes:
A- Editing of coverage and completeness
B- Editing of consistency
C- Arithmetic editing of quantities and values.
Coding: Specialized staff have coded the data of industry, occupation and geographical identification.
