Nepal - Household Risk and Vulnerability Survey 2016

The objective of this three-year panel survey is to provide the Government of Nepal with empirical evidence on the patterns of exposure to shocks at the household level and on the vulnerability of households’ welfare to these shocks. It covers 6,000 households in non-metropolitan areas of Nepal, which were interviewed in mid 2016. Being a relatively comprehensive and representative (rural) sample household survey, it can also be used for other research into living conditions of Nepali households in rural areas. This is the entire dataset for the first wave of the survey. The same households will be reinterviewed in mid 2017 and mid 2018. The survey dataset contains a multi-topic survey which was completed for each of the 6,000 households, and a community survey fielded to a senior community representative at the village development committee (VDC) level in each of the 400 PSUs.

本项为期三年的追踪调查旨在为尼泊尔政府提供实证依据，阐明家庭层面面临各类冲击的具体模式，以及家庭福祉对这些冲击的脆弱性。本次调查覆盖尼泊尔非都会地区的6000户家庭，受访工作于2016年中完成。作为一项较为全面且具有代表性的（农村）抽样家庭调查，本数据集还可用于尼泊尔农村地区家庭生活状况的其他相关研究。本文件为该调查第一波次的完整数据集。同一批受访家庭将分别于2017年中与2018年中接受再次回访。本调查数据集包含两部分内容：一是针对全部6000户家庭完成的多主题调查问卷数据，二是面向400个初级抽样单元（PSUs）下辖的村级发展委员会（VDC）层级的资深社区代表实施的社区调查数据。
