The data is categorized under Global Database’s Papua New Guinea – Table PG.World Bank: Gross Domestic Product: Nominal. GNI per capita (formerly GNP per capita) is the gross national income, converted to U.S. dollars using the World Bank Atlas method, divided by the midyear population. GNI is the sum of value added by all resident producers plus any product taxes (less subsidies) not included in the valuation of output plus net receipts of primary income (compensation of employees and property income) from abroad. GNI, calculated in national currency, is usually converted to U.S. dollars at official exchange rates for comparisons across economies, although an alternative rate is used when the official exchange rate is judged to diverge by an exceptionally large margin from the rate actually applied in international transactions. To smooth fluctuations in prices and exchange rates, a special Atlas method of conversion is used by the World Bank. This applies a conversion factor that averages the exchange rate for a given year and the two preceding years, adjusted for differences in rates of inflation between the country, and through 2000, the G-5 countries (France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States).

Abstract

The 2009-2010 HIES collected information on key topics such as family demography, education, health, employment and consumption. The scope of 2009-2010 HIES was broader than the previous survey, with more indicators and more households surveyed, including questions on living standards and other related subject areas. One key goal was to collect data on income and expenditure, and to enable a rebasing of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This will assist future policy decisions and analysis to be better based on reliable evidence, such that they can better support improvements in the living standards of Papua New Guinea’s people.

As the 2009-2010 HIES was a multi-topic survey, the following types of information were collected:

1. Household level information on housing characteristics, ownership of consumer durables, non- food consumption, access to various types of public services, and incidence and resolution of different types of disputes.

2. Person-level information on age, sex, education, health, employment status, receipt of remittances, and personal security. This was supplemented by anthropometric data for children aged six years or younger.

3. Personal record of all food and nonfood purchases for 14 consecutive days for all household.

Sampling procedure

Sample Design PNG is the largest nation in the South Pacific in both land area and population. It is comprised of around 600 islands, and the interior of the country is mountainous. Administratively, the country is divided into 22 provinces, within four geographic regions: Southern Region comprising of the following provinces: Western, Gulf, Central, Milne Bay, Northern Oro, and the National Capital District Highlands Region comprising of the following provinces: Southern Highlands, Enga, Western Highlands, Chimbu, Eastern Highlands, Hela, and Jiwaka Momase Region comprising of the following provinces: Moroboe, Madang, East Sepik, and West Sepik Island Region comprising of Manus, New Ireland, East New Britain, West New Britain, and the Autonomous Region of Bougainville.

A two-stage stratified cluster sample design was used in order to ensure independent estimates for the "rural", "urban", and "metro" areas of each of these regions. "Metro" denotes the two large urban centres of Port Moresby in Southern region and Lae in the Momase region. All the other urban areas in all regions were included in the "urban" stratum. The sample was thus divided into 10 strata. Sample size in each cluster was set to ensure reliable strata-level representative estimates; in addition, the sample size in the metropolitan areas was set large enough to support the development of a new CPI expenditure basket. In each stratum, households were chosen in two stages. In the first stage, using the sampling frame of the 2000 Census, clusters (or Primary Sampling Units) (PSU) were chosen using probability proportional to size. A full listing of households was done in all chosen clusters and a pre-set number of households were then selected randomly from this list. In the non-metropolitan areas, 18 households were chosen per cluster whereas in the metropolitan areas, 6 households were chosen per PSU. Replacement census units or replacement households in each cluster are used in the case of emergencies or when selected households could not be interviewed because of refusal, absence, illness in the family etc, were also selected using the same methodology.

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

The HIES is a complex application with a hierarchical set of questionnaires. For example, the main questionnaire consists of a household roster and other household information, and there are separate questionnaires for eligible members in the household. The data entry application may then contain two levels-one for the household and one for each eligible member in the household. The set of forms corresponding to the household, make up level one. The set of forms corresponding to each eligible member make up level two. Each case would consist of a level one and a variable number of level occurrences for level two. Most applications consist of a single level.

The survey questionnaires contain the following FORMS: 1) From A: Household Control Form 2) Form B: Household Schedule Form 3) Form C: Personal Schedule 4) Form D: Personal Diary 5) Form E: Personal Notepad
