Sampling
Sampling Procedure
A Stratified Two - Stage Sampling was adopted for the survey. Provinces were constituted strata. The primary and secondary sampling units were enumeration areas (EAs) for municipal areas and non-municipal areas and private households/persons in the collective households respectively.
Stratification
Provinces were constituted strata. There were altogether 77 strata. Each stratum was divided into two parts according to the type of local administration, namely municipal areas and non - municipal areas.
Selection of primary sampling unit
The sample selection of enumeration areas were performed separately and independently in each part by using probability proportional to size - total number of households. The total sample enumeration areas was 5,970 from 127,460 EAs.
Selection of secondary sampling unit
Private households were our ultimate sampling units. A new listing of private households were made for every sample enumeration areas to serve as the sampling frame. In each sample EAs, a systematic sample of private households were selected with the following sample size:
Municipal areas: 16 sample households per EAs
Non-municipal areas: 12 sample households per EAs
