Sampling
The sample of the survey is two-stage stratified sample, with enumeration areas as primary and households as secondary selection units. On annual level, the sample consists of 1560 households, each month 26 enumeration areas, i.e. 130 households are selected.
The 2006 survey examined 1300 households which makes the 83% response rate.
Survey instrument
The HBS questionnaire, which is administered to each household selected for the survey, includes a household roster, a dwelling section, sections on ownership of durables, different non-food expenditures, as well as on incomes.
Two different recall periods are used: (i) 3 months and (ii) 12 months; in addition, households are also provided with a diary at the beginning of the interview, and are asked to keep a daily record of all their food and non-food expenditures during the reference period (i.e. one month), as well as incomes received.
The data collected therefore provide a reasonably comprehensive information base to track changes in living conditions.
