Description and Table of Contents

Description

Household surveys are an important source of socio-economic data and important indicators to inform and monitor development policies are often derived from such surveys. In developing countries, they have become a dominant form of data collection, supplementing or sometimes even replacing other data collection programmes and civil registration systems. This handbook presents several aspects of conducting household surveys in developing and transition countries, including sample design, survey implementation, non-sampling errors, survey costs, and analysis of survey data. The handbook can assist national survey statisticians to design household surveys in an efficient and reliable manner, and to allow users to make greater use of survey generated data.
