Rural Finance and Food Security Study in Bangladesh, 1994

The Rural Finance and Food Security survey was conducted in Bangladesh in 1994 to analyze the determinants of the formation and participation in group-based rural financial institutions and the effects of participation on household resource allocation, income generation, and food and nonfood consumption. The community level survey covered 120 villages, and the household survey covered 1,181 individuals in 350 households in 7 villages in 5 thanas. The study included credit groups formed by three Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs)- Association for Social Advancement (ASA), Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC), and Rangpur-Dinajpur Rural Services (RDRS). Selection of respondents for the household surveys was based on stratified random sampling, with household possession of land as the stratifier, irrespective of membership in NGO programs. Household surveys focused on collecting data related to household composition, occupation, education, school participation, dwelling characteristics, assets, expenditures, food consumption, anthropometric measurements of women and children, and use of the Food for Education (FFE) system.

1994年在孟加拉国开展了农村金融与粮食安全调查，旨在分析基于群体的农村金融机构形成与参与的决定因素，以及参与对家庭资源配置、收入生成及食品与非食品消费的影响。社区层面调查覆盖120个村庄，家庭层面调查则涵盖5个县（thana）中7个村庄的350户家庭共1181人。该研究纳入了由三个非政府组织（NGO）组建的信贷小组，分别为社会进步协会（ASA）、孟加拉农村发展委员会（BRAC）及朗布尔-迪纳杰布尔农村服务组织（RDRS）。家庭调查的受访者选取基于分层随机抽样（stratified random sampling），以家庭土地拥有量为分层变量，且不考虑受访者是否为NGO项目成员。家庭调查重点收集以下相关数据：家庭构成、职业、教育状况、就学情况、居住特征、资产、支出、食品消费、妇女及儿童的人体测量数据，以及“教育供餐（FFE）”系统的使用情况。
