The HIES has been conducted, with some breaks, since 1963. However, in 1990 the HIES questionnaire was revised in order to address the requirements of a new system of national accounts. The four surveys of 1990-91, 1992-93, 1993- 94 and 1996-97 were conducted using the revised questionnaire. In 1998-99, the
HIES data collection methods and the questionnaire were revised to reflect the integration of HIES with the Pakistan Integrated Household Survey (PIHS). After this the HIES was conducted as an Integrated Survey with PIHS in 1998-99 and 2001-02.Subsequently the survey was renamed in 2004 as Pakistan Social and
Living Standards Measurement (PSLM) Survey and the same module of the HIES remain intact. PSLM, (District Level) Survey and PSLM/ HIES (National/ Provincial level) Survey are conducted on alternating years. Before this Survey four rounds of HIES were conducted during 2004-05, 2005-06, 2007-08 and 2010-11.
This round of the HIES was conducted covering 15807 households. It provides important information on household income, savings, liabilities, and consumption expenditure and consumption patterns at national and provincial level with urban/rural breakdown. It also includes the requisite data on consumption for the Planning & Development Division for estimation of poverty.
The data generated though HIES Survey will be used to assist the government in formulating the poverty reduction strategy in the overall context of MDGs. The indicators will be developed at National/Provincial level in the following sectors.
- Education

Sampling
Sampling Frame:
Urban area:
PBS has developed its own urban area frame. All urban areas comprising cities/ towns have been divided into small compact areas known as enumeration blocks (E.Bs) identifiable through map. Each enumeration block comprises about 200-250 households and categorized into low, middle and high-income group, keeping in view the socioeconomic status of the majority of households. Urban area sampling frame consists of 26698 enumeration blocks has been updated in 2003.
Rural area:
With regard to the rural areas, the lists of villages/mouzas/dehs according to Population Census, 1998 have been used as sampling frame. In this frame, each village/mouza/deh is identifiable by its Name, Had Bast Number, Cadastral map etc. This frame is comprised of 50590 villages/mouzas.
Stratification Plan
Urban Areas:
Large sized cities having population five laces and above have been treated as independent stratum. Each of these cities has further been sub-stratified into low, middle and high income groups. The remaining cities/towns within each defunct administrative division have been grouped together to constitute an independent stratum.
Rural Areas:
The entire rural domain of a district for Punjab, Sindh and KPK provinces has been considered as independent stratum, whereas in Balochistan province defunct administrative division has been treated as stratum.
Sample Size and its Allocation:
To determine optimum sample size for this survey, analytical studies based on the results of Pakistan Demographic Survey, Labour Force and Pakistan Integrated Households Sample Survey were undertaken. Keeping in view the variability that exists within the population for the characteristics for which estimates are to be prepared, as well as population distribution, reliability of estimates and field resources available a sample of size 17,056 households distributed over 1217 PSUs (604 urban and 613 rural) has been considered sufficient to produce reliable estimates in respect of all provinces. Out of these 1217 PSUs, 59 PSUs (19 urban and 40 rural PSUs) were dropped and the remaining 1158 PSUs (585 urban and 573 rural) comprising 15807 households were covered.
Sample Design:
A two-stage stratified sample design has been adopted for this survey.
Selection of primary sampling Units (PSUs):
Enumeration blocks in the urban domain and mouzas/dehs/villages in rural domain have been taken as PSUs. In urban domain sample PSUs from each stratum have been selected by PPS method of sampling scheme; using households in each block as MOS. Similarly in rural areas, the population of each village has been taken as MOS for the selection of sample villages using again the PPS method.
Selection of Secondary Sampling Units (SSUs):
Households within PSU have been considered as SSUs. 16 and 12 households have been selected from each sample village and enumeration block respectively by systematic sampling scheme with a random start.

The income and consumption data of the HIES Survey is being collected by adopting team approach comprising of both male and female enumerators. In each field team female enumerators interviewed the female household members while male enumerators interviewed the male respondents.
Data appraisal
Data quality in the HIES Survey has been ensured through a built in system of checking of field work by the supervisors in the field as well as teams from the headquarters. Regional/ Field offices ensured the data quality through preliminary editing at their office level. The entire data entry was carried at the PBS headquarter in Islamabad and the data entry programme used had a number of in built consistency checks
