Socio-Economic/Monitoring Survey [hh/sems]
The first Household Socio-Economic Survey was conducted by the National Statistical Office (NSO) in 1957, known as " The Household Expenditure Survey". This name was changed to the Household Socio-Economic Survey in 1968 - 1969 and the survey was conducted every five years. Due to the rapid economic expansion and the importance of the survey in order to set the anti-poverty policy, the Ministerial Cabinet had passed an approval on September 8, 1987 for the NSO to carry out the survey every two years. The 2004 survey is the seventeenth survey of this kind. (The 1999 and 2001 surveys were conducted special periodic survey by the cabinet assignment.)
A stratified, three-stage sample design was adopted for the survey since 1975-76 until 1986. The primary and secondary sampling units were Amphoes and blocks (in municipal areas) or villages (non-municipal areas) respectively. The private households were the ultimate sampling units.
Since 1988 onwards, a stratified two-stage sampling was adopted for the survey. The primary sampling units were blocks for municipal areas and were villages for non-municipal areas. The secondary sampling units were private households.
The primary objective of the survey is collecting information on household income and household expenditures, household consumptions, changes in assets and liabilities, the durable goods ownerships, and housing characteristics including other living conditions of households.
The 2004 round includes a special module that was included in the 2004 socioeconomic survey and that asked all adult members of households about their experience with the Village Fund.

Sampling
A Stratified Two-stage Sampling was adopted for the survey with the provinces (or changwat) as strata. The primary sampling units were blocks for municipal areas and were villages for non-municipal areas. The secondary sampling units were private households.
-
There were 76 changwats, each further divided into two parts according to the type of community: municipal areas, and non-municipal areas.
-
The sample selection of blocks/villages was performed separately and independently in each part by using probability proportional to the total number of households in that block or village.
-
Private households were the ultimate sampling units. Households in every sample block and village were listed to serve as the sampling frame. In each sample block/village a systematic sample of private households were selected with the following sample sizes :
(1) 15 households from each of sample blocks in municipal areas, and
(2) 10 households from each of sample villages in non-municipal areas.
Before selecting the households, the set of households was rearranged by size of household (identified by number of household members) and type of economic household. The total number of selected households for the whole year was 46,600 households.
74.77% at the national level
Survey instrument
Three questionnaires were used:
SES 2 - Household Income Survey
SES 3 - Household Expenditure Survey
SES 5 - Evaluation of the Impact of the Thailand Village Fund on Household Welfare
Data collection
| Start | End |
|---|---|
| 2004-01 | 2004-12 |
An effort was made in 2004 to re-survey all 6,309 households that had been surveyed in rural areas in rounds 2 and 3 of the 2002 socioeconomic survey. This produced a panel of 5,755 rural households for which information is available for both years. This represents an annual attrition rate of 4.5%, which is relatively low. A comparison between panel households and those who dropped out of the panel found no appreciable differences in the relevant variables (in 2002), allaying concerns about attrition bias.
