Income/Expenditure/Household Survey [hh/ies]
The Households Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES) has been taken in rural areas since 1963, and in urban areas as of 1968. At the beginning, it only contained the household expenditures questions; and it was just in 1974 that the questions concerning the household income were added to the survey's questionnaire.
The Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES) aims to hand in estimates of the average income and expenditure for urban and rural households at provincial and country levels. It makes it possible to come to the household's income and expenditure composition and distribution patterns, the household consumption pattern, the weight for each commodity in the household consumption basket, also to calculate the poverty line, and study the imparity in household income and facilities.
