Living Standards Measurement Study [hh/lsms]
This is the second Integrated Household Survey conducted in Bugaria and it is panel with the first BHIS which was conducted in 1995.
The principal objective of the household data collection is to obtain a nationally representative household data set that contains detailed information on a variety of characteristics. This will allow a detailed analysis of the standard of living of the Bulgarian population in general and of the poor in particular, since it will allow to link information on income and expenditure to other household characteristics like health and education for example.
