Abstract

The survey provides information relevant in setting up the anti-poverty policy of the country. Its primary objective is to collect information on household income and consumption expenditures, changes in assets and liabilities, housing characteristics as well as the ownership of some durable goods.

Geographic coverage

National

Analysis unit

Household, Individual

Universe

The survey covered all private, non-institutional households residing permanently in municipal areas, sanitary districts and villages. Excluded from the survey are population living in transient hotels and rooming houses, boarding schools, military barracks, wats, hospitals, prisons and other such institutions, as well as households of foreign diplomats and other temporary residents.

Kind of data

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

A stratified two-stage sampling was adopted for the survey. Greater Bangkok Metroplitan Area and region were constituted as strata. The primary and secondary sampling units were blocks for municipal areas and villages for non-municipal areas and private households, respectively.

Stratification Groups of provinces in each region and Greater Bangkok Metropolitan Area (Bangkok Metropolis, Nonthaburi province, Pathum Thani province and Samut Prakan province) constitute strata. There were altogether 5 strata i.e., Greater Bangkok Metropolitan Area, Central (excluding Greater Bangkok Metroplitan Area), North, North-East and South.

Selction of the Primary Sampling Unit Each stratum was divided into three parts according to the type of local administration, namely, municipal areas, sanitary districts and non-municipal areas outside sanitary districts. The sample selection of blocks and villages were performed separately and independently in each part by using probability proportional to the total number of households.

Selection of Secondary Sampling Unit Private households are our ultimate sampling units. A new listing households was made for every sample block and village to serve as the sampling frame, A systematic sample of 15 private households were selected from each of sample blocks, while 9 and 7 private households were selected from each of sample villages in sanitary districts and non-municipal areas outside sanitary districts, respectively.

The total number of sample private households selected for the enumeration is 15,920.

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

Two questionnaires were used: - SES 2: for household composition, demographic and economic characteristics of household members; income and housing facilities - SES 3: for household expenditures and 7-day food consumption

Cleaning operations

Stages at which data editing took place:

a) In the field: - Each completed interview was subjected to a thorough field edit, followed by a follow-up interview if the information was found to be incomplete or internally inconsistent. - When the household balance sheet which compared total money "disbursements" with total money "receipts" for the preceding month was more than 15 per cent out of balance, a revisit to the household was expected to reconcile the difference. - Members of the Central Office Staff conducted periodic visits to the field to review questionable reports and clarify data collection procedures. b) At the Central Office by subject matter staff of the Economic Statistics Division
c) At the Central Office by the Data processing Operations Division d) During data entry e) Prior to tabulations

Descriptive information was coded numerically for computer processing. All annual expenditure and income values were converted to a one-month base by dividing annual values by 12. For 7-day food consumption, values were multiplied by 4.3 which was the average number of weeks per month (52 weeks/12 months = 4.3 weeks/month). Income from farm or non-farm enterprises was calculated on the basis of total annual value of production less operating expenses. From this estimate, the value of products held or withdrawn for household consumption was subtracted to arrive at an estimate of money income.

Details on imputation and derivation for each expenditure group can be found in Socio-Economic Survey 1990 - Data Dictionary.pdf.
