Series Information
Pakistan Social and Living Standards Measurement (PSLM) Survey with the addition of district level survey at every alternate year was started in the year 2004. It provides Social & Economic indicators in the alternate years at provincial and district level. The PSLM Survey represents a major contribution towards construction of district level data base on education, health, employment, household assets & amenities,income & expenditure (for poverty analysis), population welfare, water supply and sanitation etc. District level data has to meet the requirements of devolution plan of the government. The district level data provides valuable insights into the dynamics of poverty. In this way it will be possible to investigate the impact of a changing environment as a consequence of implementation of the government devolution plan. The data generated through surveys is being used to assist the government in formulating developments plans at district level and rapid assessment of programs initiated MTDF in the overall context of Millennium Development Goal’s (MDG).
This is sixth round of the Pakistan Social and Living Standards Measurement (PSLM) Survey 2010-11.
This is sixth round of the Pakistan Social and Living Standards Measurement (PSLM) Survey 2010-11.
Abstract
The survey has been conducted with the aim to provide data for use by the government in formulating the poverty reduction strategy as well as development plans at district level and rapid assessment of programs initiated under Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper and Medium Term Development Framework (MTDF) in the overall context of MDG. The survey provides indicators on Education Health, Population, Welfare, Income and Expenditure, Agricultural and Non-agricultural Activity, Shocks and crises.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
SAMPLING FRAME
Urban area:
FBS has developed its own urban area frame. All urban areas comprising cities/ towns have been divided into small compact areas known as enumeration blocks (E.Bs) identifiable through map. Each enumeration block comprises about 200-250 households and categorized into low, middle and high-income group, keeping in view the socio economic status of the majority of households. Urban area sampling frame consists of 26698 enumeration blocks has been updated in 2003.
Rural area:
With regard to the rural areas, the lists of villages/mouzas/deh according to Population Census, 1998 have been used as sampling frame. In this frame, each village/mouzas/deh is identifiable by its Name, Had Bast Number, Cadastral map etc. This frame is comprised 50590 villages/mouzas
STRATIFICATION PLAN
Urban Areas:
Within each district large sized cities having population five lack and above have been treated as independent stratum. Each of these cities has further been sub-stratified into low, middle and high group’s areas. The remaining cities/towns within each district have been grouped together to constitute an independent stratum.
Rural Areas:
The entire rural domain of a district for Punjab, Sindh, NWFP and Balochistan provinces has been considered as independent stratum.
Sample Size and its Allocation:
To determine optimum sample size for this survey, analytical studies based on the results of Pakistan Demographic Survey, Labour Force and Pakistan Integrated Households Sample Survey were undertaken. Keeping in view the variability exist within the population for the characteristics for which estimates are to be prepared, population distribution, level of estimates and field resources available a sample size of 77488 households enumerated from 5413 sample PSUs (2280 from urban and 3133 from rural areas) has been considered sufficient to produce reliable estimates at district level in respect of all provinces.
Sample Design:
A two-stage Stratified Random Sampling scheme was adopted for this survey. Enumeration Blocks in urban areas and villages in rural areas were selected at first stage while households within the sample Enumeration Blocks / Villages were selected at second stage.
Selection of primary sampling Units (PSUs):
Enumeration blocks in the urban domain and mouzas/deh/villages in rural domain have been taken as primary sampling units (PSUs). In urban domain sample PSUs from each stratum have been selected by probability proportional to size (PPS) method of sampling scheme using households in each block as measure of size (MOS). Similarly in rural areas, population of each village has taken as MOS for selection of sample villages using probability proportional to size method of selection.
Selection of Secondary Sampling Units (SSUs):
Households within each sample Primary Sampling Unit (PSU) have been considered as Secondary Sampling Units (SSUs). 16 and 12 households have been selected from each sample village and enumeration block respectively by systematic sampling scheme with a random start.

Data Quality and Reliability Measures:
Data quality in PSLM Survey has been ensured through built in system of checking of fieldwork by the supervisors in the field as well as teams from the headquarters. Regional/ Field offices ensured the data quality through preliminary editing at their office level. The entire data entry was carried out at the FBS headquarter Islamabad and the data entry programme used had a number of in built consistency checks. This is the 6th round of district level survey and it has been observed that overall indicators do follow the usual pattern at national/provincial levels. However, in certain districts particularly of Balochistan province there are variations in indicators between 2004-05, 2006-07, 2008-09 and 2010-11 which may be due to prevailing situation in the province, which probably lead to under/over reporting of events.
