The Household Budget Survey (HBS) is a sample survey of private households carried out under the responsibility of the National Statistical Office. Historically the HBS has a long tradition: since 1952 it is conducted annually.
The main objectives of the HBS are to provide information on the income and expenditure of the population. The main use of the HBS is the calculation of weights for Consumer Price Index, information on the household income, expenditure, data for National Accounting, and calculation of poverty indices. The HBS does contain only information on the occupation of respondents but not on the sector they are employed in.

Sampling
Sampling
The HBS is restricted to private households and household members. Collective or institutional households are excluded. Resident foreigner households (very few cases) are included.
The sampling frame is taken from the population register (census) and has sample sizes of more than 8,000 households.
For the HBS a two-stage stratification with 3 strata is applied (5 largest cities, other towns, rural areas).
This sampling procedure leads to restriction in representativeness of the survey regarding the following population groups: young single persons, very rich households, homeless.
