Household Consumption Survey of Rural Nepal 2000-2001 First Round HCSRN 2000-01 Gramin Nepal ka Gharpariwar Ko Upabhog Sarbheychyan 2057 NPL_2000_HCSRN_v01_M Central Bureau of Statistics NADA His Majesty's Government National Data Archive, Publication, Distribution and Library Section Other Household Survey [hh/oth] The Household Consumption Survey of Rural Nepal is the first of its kind to be conducted by the Central Bureau of Statistics. The survey completely relied on the Government resources and the technical capability available in the Bureau. This indigenous effort was carried out to test the capacity of CBS acquired through the conduct of the NLSS and NLFS which both received external financial and technical assistance. Version 01: Final data consumption/consumer behaviour [1.1] After the accomplishment of the Nepal Living Standards Survey, 1995/96, the Central Bureau of Statistics has given importance to the follow up surveys relating to household consumption. Two basic reasons stand behind such a policy. The first is to understand the behavior on consumption, facilitating the assessment of poverty levels. The second reason is to support the estimation of national aggregates of consumption required for the national accounting. It is on that line this consumption survey for rural Nepal has been attempted solely on the Government resources. Sustaining foreign aid supported projects in the long run through capacity building is the aim behind such follow up surveys. The survey was planned in January 2000 and was launched in the later part of the same year. Hopefully, the survey results will provide some ways of linking the gap likely to emerge from the earlier and the next round of the Nepal Living Standards Survey now in the initial preparatory phase and scheduled for 2002/03. The survey followed the similar methodology as used in the Nepal Labour Force Survey, 1998/99. As a follow up survey, the sample size has been kept at a moderately low level of 1,968 households. The 1991 Population Census of Nepal was used as a frame for sampling. The sampling was done in such a way that the results are valid nationally for the rural areas. The basic objectives of this survey were 1. To determine the pattern of household consumption and expenditure on food, non-food, housing, durable goods and own account production of goods and services for rural Nepal, and 2. To provide information required in the estimation of National Accounts aggregates. Content of the survey 1. General information, 2. Housing expenditures, 3. Food expenditures (including home production), 4. Non-food expenditures and inventory of durable goods, 5. Non-food expenditures (own account production of goods and services), and 6. Income Nepal Rural areas of Nepal Region Ecological belt Regional level Household The survey covered the whole rural areas of the country and no geographical areas were excluded. All usual residents of rural Nepal were considered eligible for inclusion in the survey but households of diplomatic missions were excluded. As is normal in household surveys, homeless and those people living for six months or more away from the household or in institutions such as school hostels, police barracks, army camps and hospitals were also excluded. Sample survey data [ssd] The scope of the survey was broadly defined as 1. General information: identify the member of households, basic demographic information such as sex, age and marital status, and information on literacy. 2. Housing expenditures: household's expenditure on housing, utilities and amenities (ownership, rent and expenditure on water, electricity, telephone, cooking fuels, etc.) 3. Food expenditures (including home production): food expenditure of the household including consumption of food items that the household produced 4. Non-food expenditures and inventory of durable goods: expenditure on non-food items (fuels, clothing and personal care, etc.) 5. Non-food expenditures (own account production of goods and services): own account production of goods and services (which included making of baskets, fetching water and collecting firewood, etc.) 6. Income: income from different sources as well as information on loans and savings. Central Bureau of Statistics Sample Design The aim of the HCSRN is to determine the consumption pattern of rural households of the country. This is not a baseline survey but is among the first in attempting to set the trend in consumption pattern of rural households with respect to time. It is envisaged that this type of small surveys are done in between the big surveys conducted specifically to measure the level of poverty in the country. A two-stage sample selection procedure was adopted in the survey. The Primary Sampling Unit (PSU) consisted of a ward or in some cases a sub-ward or an amalgamation of small wards. PSUs were selected with Probability Proportional to Size (PPS) sampling, with the number of households available from the 1991 Population Census as a measure of size. Within the selected PSU, all households were listed in the field and 12 households were selected by systematic sampling with random start. Using PPS sampling at the first stage, 165 PSUs were selected and in the second stage, using systematic sampling 12 households were selected from each PSU. In the process, a total of 1980 households were selected from the rural areas of the country. Sampling Frame The 1991 Population Census of Nepal provided a base for building a sampling frame for the survey. The frame consisted of the list of wards along with the census count of the number of households in each ward. Because of the increase in the number of urban areas (municipalities) and the decrease of rural wards after the 1991 Population Census, the frame required certain modifications. The 33 municipalities at the time of census had been increased to a total of 58 municipalities. All rural wards converted into urban areas had to be removed from the earlier frame. In a number of cases new municipalities were created by combining together a large number of what were formerly wards in rural VDCs. Hence, the rural areas had a number of wards reduced from their earlier list. Fortunately, an exercise in modifying the rural frame had been already done for the purpose the last Nepal Labour Force Survey, 1998/99. Therefore, the same modified sampling frame of the NLFS was found most appropriate to be used for this survey as well. Sample Size The sample size was determined on the basis of experiences gained from the previous surveys notably the NLSS and NLFS and the resources available for the survey. The survey obviously had to fix its sample size according to what the available resource could afford to accomplish. The sample size was fixed at 1,980 households. Since the final "take" was to be 12 households per PSU, it was essential that a selected PSU contained a multiple of 12 households. Face-to-face [f2f] The Household Survey Section of CBS developed an initial questionnaire of HCSRN on the basis of the questionnaires used in the NLSS and the Multi-Purpose Household Budget Survey (conducted by the Nepal Rastra Bank). The draft questionnaire was subsequently modified through experience gained from pre-tests. The pre-test was carried out in the rural areas of 12 districts. Household Questionnaire The questionnaire contained six sections. The contents of the questionnaire are as follows: Section 1. General Information The main purposes of this section were: (i) to identify the member of household, (ii) to provide basic demographic information such as sex, age and marital status, and (iii) to collect information on literacy. Section 2. Housing This section collected information on household's expenditure on housing, utilities and amenities (ownership, rent and expenditure on water, electricity, telephone, cooking fuels, etc.) Section 3. Food Expenses and Home Production This section collected information on food expenditure of the household including consumption of food items that the household produced. Section 4. Non-food Expenditures and Inventory of Durable Goods This section collected information on expenditure on non-food items (fuels, clothing and personal care, etc.) Section 5. Non-food Expenditures (Own Account Production of Goods and Services) This section collected information on own account production of goods and services (which included making of baskets, fetching water and collecting firewood, etc.) Section 6. Income This section collected information on income from different sources as well as information on loans and savings. The entire field staff required for the survey was drawn from the Branch Statistical Offices (BSOs) as well as from the CBS. A total of 73 field staff comprising of 19 BSO officers, 15 supervisors and 39 interviewers was deployed for the fieldwork. Training of supervisors and interviewers was conducted for a period of 7 days at three different places (viz., Sunsari, Makwanpur and Surkhet). In each team of trainers, there were three statistical officers of whom two came from the household survey section and one from the BSO belonging to the respective training centre. The survey covered a complete period of 12 months. To capture seasonal variations, the whole period of 12 months was divided into two parts (of six months each). The first part (called wet season for the purpose of the survey) included the rainy season and stretched from the month of Jestha (May-June) to Kartik (October-November). The second part (called dry season in the survey) extended from Marga (November-December) to Baishakh (April-May). The data collection work, however, was accomplished within the first three months in each part of the survey. The division of an entire year into two parts (seasons) was envisaged to capture the usually heavy and lean expenditure and consumption patterns that might occur in different seasons. The consumption behaviours of rural people are very different in these two parts of the year. In the summer season, for example, there are fewer festivals and most of the people are busy in their agricultural activities. The autumn season, on the other hand, includes the festivals like Dashain and Tihar. This season, therefore, is more likely to record higher consumption expenditures both on food and non-food items compared to other seasons of the year. Altogether, 12 teams comprising of one supervisor and three interviewers were formed for the fieldwork. Each team was assigned separate tasks with all the details illustrating the time table to be followed. The assignment given in terms of area covered a certain number of districts. To conduct supervision at the district level, 19 officers from different BSOs were trained for 4 days at the centre and they were responsible for supervision in their respective districts. Central supervision was done by the members of the core team. Members of the core team consisting of one Deputy Director General, one Deputy Director and six Statistical Officers made surprise visits in the field. The sample selection procedure of HCSRN 2000/01 adopted that of the Nepal Labour Force Survey, 1998/99. Weights calculation are discussed in Annex A of the Report on the Household Consumption Survey of Rural Nepal 2000/2001. The data file 'sample' contains the weight variable. Completed questionnaires from the field were brought to the central office (Kathmandu) for data editing. For quality control, range and consistency checks as well as scrutiny were performed during the data entry period. In one of the PSUs selected for the survey, enumeration work could not be carried due to unavoidable reasons. The total number of households successfully interviewed was, thus, reduced to 1,968 among 1,980. The response rate of this survey is hence 99.4%. The sampling errors of key aggregates measured in this survey are provided in the Technical Documents. These sampling errors are calculated by means of the STATA 5.0 package that was used for processing this survey result. Sample design and sample size are the main factors that influence the size of the sampling error. In the case of total per capita consumption in rural Nepal, which is Rs.11, 928, the 95 percent lower and upper bounds for the estimate, are Rs.11, 605 and Rs.12, 251 respectively. This means that we are 95 percent confident that the average per capita consumption of rural part of Nepal lies within this range. Confidentiality of the respondents is guaranteed by Article 8 of Statistics Act 1958.

All rural wards Ward is the lowest adminstritative boundary where the selected household belongs. Household Household Household Household Household There are some exceptions to this rule, which are described below: 1. The following categories of persons are treated as household members even though they have lived less than six months in the household during past 12 months: (I) infants who are less than 6 months old, (ii) a newly married couple who have been living together for less than 6 months, and (iii) persons living together for less than 6 months but who are expected to live in the household permanently (or for long duration). 2. Lodgers or other permanent residents who live and take their meals with the household are to becounted as household members, even though they may have no blood relationship with the householdhead. 3. Servants or other paid domestic employees should be counted as part of the household. 4. People who have lived in the household for more than six months of the past 12 months but have permanently left the household (e.g. separated or dead) are not considered members of the household for our purposes. People who live in the same dwelling, but do not share food expenses or do not eat meals together, are not members of the same household. For example, if two brothers, each having his own family, live in the same house but maintains separate food budgets and cooking facilities, they would constitute two separate households. Likewise, people who eat together but do not live in the same dwelling are not members of the same household. It is very important that you define the household membership strictly according to the criteria outlined above. These guidelines may not be the same as others you may be familiar with, and at times, they may not conform to the household’s own notion of who should be considered as a household member. Any questions or doubts that arise in the field should be discussed with your supervisor. All rural households A household is a group of people who normally live together and eat their meals together. Household identifier Household identifier Household identifier Household identifier Household identifier 02 Sex 02 Sex 02 Sex 02 Sex 02 Sex What is the sex of [Name]? All household members 1 Male 2 Female ID code ID code ID code ID code ID code All household members 03 Age 03 Age 03 Age 03 Age 03 Age What is the age of [Name]? [Complete year] write the respondent’s AGE in completed years on the day of the interview. For instance, if the person is aged 4 years and 8 months, write 4 years. If the respondent does not know his/her age, you must make an effort to estimate his/her age by using events in his/her life or community as benchmarks. If you have been provided with a Calendar of Major Events, respondents who have difficulty in remembering their age might find it helpful to consult this calendar so as to relate the time of their birth to some major event in the past (for instance, the Earthquake of 1990, Revolution of 2007, year 2017, year 2036, Popular Movement of 2046, National Referendum Year 2048, National Census Year 2048, National Population Census 2001 and other similar events). All household members Age is the age of the person at his last birthday. 04 Relationship 04 Relationship 04 Relationship 04 Relationship 04 Relationship What is the relation of [Name] to the household Head? In this Question be careful to obtain the relationship of the person to the household head. Pay attention particularly when the person speaking to you is not the head of household. The respondent in this case will often give the relationship of the person in question to him or herself and not to the head of household. Therefore, reconfirm that the relationship is to the head of the household. In coding the relationship, make sure that the person with the ID code 1 has relationship code 1 (i.e. they must be the head of the household) and no one else in the household should have code 1 for relationship. In other words, there can be only head of household, and that should be the person with ID code 1. All household members 1 Head 2 Wife/husband 3 Son/daughter 4 Grandchild 5 Father/mother 6 Sister/brother 7 Father/mother-in-law 8 Brother/sister-in-law 9 Son/daughter-in-law 10 Niece/nephew 11 Bonded servant 12 Servant 13 Other 05 Marital status 05 Marital status 05 Marital status 05 Marital status 05 Marital status Only to 10 years and above What is the marital status of [Name]? There are various categories to separate out the marital status of household members. Unmarried: A person who is never married. Married: a person, who was married legally, or religious obligations and live together as a husband and wife. Widow/Widower: A person whose spouse were died and still not remarried. Separated: Those spouses, who are not divorced legally or religiously but they are living separately. A separated person can remarry or reunite and live together with the (former) spouse. In this case, the person (who is now remarried or reunited) does not belong to this category. Divorced: A person who divorced legally or religiously of his/her spouse. S/he should not be remarried. In asking about marital status, it should be noted that the question only applies to those aged 10 years or over. For those under 10, the question will be left blank. There are various categories to separate out the marital status of household members. All persons 10 years of age and above 1 Unmarried 2 Married 3 Widow/widower 4 Separated 5 Divorced 06 Months at home 06 Months at home 06 Months at home 06 Months at home 06 Months at home During the last 12 months,how many months did [Name] live here? [Write 12 if always present or away less than 1 month. Write in the number of months during the last 12 months that each person has lived in the household. If the person has been away intermittently, estimate the total time they have been here. If the person has 47 always been present during the last 12 months, write “12”. Record the answer as a whole number; do notshow fractions of a month. All household members 12 Always present or away less than 1 month 07 Member or not 07 Member or not 07 Member or not 07 Member or not 07 Member or not the criteria, is [Name] a member of the household? If no there will be end of the section 1. A household member is a person who normally live together and eat their meals together. For the purposes of this survey, "normally" is taken to mean that the person concerned has lived in the household for at least 6 of the past 12 months. Thus, the members of the household are identified on the basis of their "usual place of residence". (Note: A person living alone and making his or her own meal arrangements counts as a separate household.).There are some exceptions to this rule, which are described below: 1. The following categories of persons are treated as household members even though they have lived less than six months in the household during past 12 months: (I) infants who are less than 6 months old, (ii) a newly married couple who have been living together for less than 6 months, and (iii) persons living together for less than 6 months but who are expected to live in the household permanently (or for long duration). 2. Lodgers or other permanent residents who live and take their meals with the household are to be counted as household members, even though they may have no blood relationship with the household head. 3. Servants or other paid domestic employees should be counted as part of the household. 4. People who have lived in the household for more than six months of the past 12 months but have permanently left the household (e.g. separated or dead) are not considered members of the household for our purposes. All household members 1 Yes 2 No A household member is a person who normally live together and eat their meals together.

What is the highest level [Name] has completed? In this question record the education level of absentee person when s/he had left home. Write the higher level education code that the person had completed at the time of leaving home. For example the absentees who pass the SLC at the time of leaving but now s/he is completed BA. In this case you should be write code “11” instead of code “13” because he s/he has passed only SLC.at the time of leaving home.
