Income/Expenditure/Household Survey [hh/ies]
The Central Statistics Office (CSO) conducted its eighth Household Budget Survey (HBS) from July 2006 to June 2007 in the Republic of Mauritius. Previous surveys were conducted in 1961/62, 1975, 1980/81, 1986/87, 1991/92, 1996/97 and 2001/02. The first Household Budget Survey (HBS) was taken in 1961/62 under the guidance of Mr. Wolf Scott, an expert from the International Labour Office (ILO) and the second in 1975 with the assistance of an Indian Expert, Mr D.S Ramaratnam. As from the third round in 1980/81, HBS have been carried out regularly every five years by local staff.
The Mauritius Household Budget Survey (HBS) was carried out between July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007 by the Central Statistics Office of Mauritius. The survey was conducted among a sample of 6,720 private households representative of all households in the islands of Mauritius and Rodrigues, with 560 households surveyed each month. The main objective of the survey was to obtain up-to-date information on the consumption pattern of the Mauritian population mainly with a view to update the basket of goods and services used for the computation of the monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI). The HBS also provides data on the distribution of household income and expenditure and is widely used, in that respect, for poverty analysis.

The HBS 2006/07 covered all private non-institutional households in the Republic of Mauritius, i.e. in both the islands of Mauritius and Rodrigues. Households of non-residents as well as institutional households such as hotels, hospitals, boarding houses and prisons were excluded.

Face-to-face [f2f]
Data entry and processing went on in parallel with the field work and was completed by August 2007. The coded schedules were sent to the Central Information Systems Division (CISD) for data capture using the software Integrated Microcomputer Processing System (IMPS). The monthly data files were sent back to the Central Statistics Office (CSO) where automated data consistency checking procedures were run on the input data using the same software. Any errors identified by these programs were corrected by a team at the CSO. Additional consistency checks and cleaning continued until March 2008 to produce a cleaner data set that will be used for detailed analysis.
