Income/Expenditure/Household Survey [hh/ies]
In Bulgaria the beginning of the survey of the household budgets with the implementation of scientific methods for selection of households dates back to 1951. Regular surveys are conducted since 1953. Prior to this period surveys were conducted covering only separate groups of the population - households of workers and employees and households of farmers. For these surveys the selection of the households was not done according to the theory of sample surveys.
According to the applied methods for household selection the survey of household budgets in more recent times can be divided into two periods. The first period covers the years from 1953 to 1961 and the second one from 1962 until the present time.
During the two periods the random (stochastic) selection of the households was used. During the first period the selection was done on the basis of the economic branch principle and it did not include all categories of households. During the second period this was done on a territorial principle and all categories of households are represented in the sample. Because of differences in the selection and coverage of households the data from the household budget surveys from the two periods are not comparable.
The main objective of the Household Budget Survey is to get reliable and scientifically founded data on the income, expenditure, consumption and other elements of the living standard of the population as well as changes which have occurred during the years.
