Abstract

The Household Budget Survey (HBS) is a national survey collecting information from a representative sample of households, on household composition, members employment status, living conditions and, mainly, focusing on their members expenditure on goods and services as well as on their income. The expenditure information collected from households is very detailed.

The main purpose of the HBS is to determine in detail the household expenditure pattern in order to revise the Consumer Price Index. Moreover, the HBS is the most appropriate source in order to:

• Complete the available statistical data for the estimation of the total private consumption;
• Study the households expenditures and their structure in relation to their income and other economic, social and demographic characteristics;
• Analyze the changes in the living conditions of the households in comparison with the previous surveys;
• Study the relationship between households purchases and receipts in kind;
• Study low income limits in the different socio-economic categories and population groups;
• Study the changes in the nutritional habits of the households.

The frequency of data collection is continual spread within the reference year.

Sampling procedure

The two-stage area stratified sampling was adopted for the HBS survey based on the rotational integrated design method and on the Population Census of 2011 as well. This method was judged as the most appropriate for both cross -sectional and longitudinal comparisons.

The primary sampling units (PSUs) are the areas (one or more unified city blocks), the secondary sampling units selected in each primary unit are the households and their members. In each Region (NUTS 2), the stratification of primary units was conducted by allocating the Municipalities and Communes according to the degree of urbanization (urban, semi-urban, and rural regions). Except for the two former Major City Agglomerations (Athens and Thessaloniki).

The Greater Athens Area was divided into 31 strata of about equal size (equal number of households) on the basis of the lists of city blocks of the Municipalities that constitute it and taking into consideration socio-economic criteria. Similarly, the Greater Thessaloniki Area was divided into 9 equally sized strata. The two former Major City Agglomerations account for 37% of the total population and for even larger percentages in certain socio-economic variables.

1st stage of sampling

In this stage, from any stratum (crossing of Region with the degree of urbanisation), primary units were drawn. The number of draws is approximately proportional to the population size of the stratum (number of households in the last population census of the year 2011).

2nd stage of sampling

In this stage from each primary sampling unit (selected area) the sample of secondary units (households) was selected. Actually, in the second stage we drew a systematic sample of dwellings. However, in most cases, one household corresponds to each dwelling. If in the selected dwelling lives more than one household, all of them were interviewed. The sampling frame containing the secondary units (households) in the selected sampling primary units was updated before the selection of households. The total number of the primary sampling units was 1023. Due to non-response, the actual total number of primary sampling units was 1004.

The survey was conducted on a sample of 6150 private households throughout the Country.

The share of urban population in Italy saw no significant changes in 2023 in comparison to the previous year 2022 and remained at around 71.97 percent. Still, the share reached its highest value in the observed period in 2023. A population may be defined as urban depending on the size (population or area) or population density of the village, town, or city. The urbanization rate then refers to the share of the total population who live in an urban setting. International comparisons may be inconsistent due to differing parameters for what constitutes an urban center.Find more key insights for the share of urban population in countries like Greece and Malta.
