Interviewer instructions
- The expenses which must be recorded in this section of the questionnaire are major expenses of a recurring nature, paid either annually, quarterly or monthly. It is important to note the payment period included in the question.
- THE FIRST part of this section contains mostly services provided externally to the household, such as through a national water or electricity company. Please note that what is required here is the amount billed to the household and not the amount paid by the household, the amount paid may be a partial payment and may not fully reflect the total amount of the service used during the period under consideration. In the case of regularly occurring types of expenditures, such as electricity, telephone, water and sewerage bills, what is required is the amount of the last bill ONLY. Balances from previous bills should be excluded from the amounts recorded here.
