Poverty Monitoring Survey 1998 - Kyrgyzstan

Abstract
---------------------------

The main purpose of these surveys is to provide data for the study of multiple aspects of household welfare and behaviour, analysis of poverty, and understanding the effect of government policies on households. The task of conducting these surveys and overall coordination of project activities was given to the National Statistical Committee (NATSTATCOM) of the Kyrgyz Republic with technical assistance from Research Triangle Institute (RTI) based in the United States. The first KPMS data collection was completed during the months of February and March (Spring) 1996 using the same survey questionnaires as the 1993 survey. After that NATSTATCOM decided that survey data would be collected during the Fall season and as a result the remaining KPMS were carried out during the months of October and November (Fall) of 1996, 1997 and 1998. The questionnaires used in KPMS were more or less similar. The Fall 1996 (second) KPMS added an Employment Module on the household questionnaire used earlier (Spring 1996). The 1997 (third) KPMS added questions on Family Planning to the Female Health Module. The 1998 (Fourth) KPMS used a similar questionnaire to that of the 1997, but with an extended agricultural module.

Sampling procedure
---------------------------

In order to expedite the survey process, NATSTATCOM used much of the same sample design and survey instruments as those used for the 1993 Baseline Survey. However, the Fall 1996-1998 KPMS surveys used a new sampling frame based on the Kyrgyz Household Registration System. This system was taken from the Census Posts intended for use by the first National Census of the Kyrgyz Republic. Using this system, NATSTATCOM updated the central household registration files effective January 1, 1996, and the information that was used for the sampling frame was as up to date as possible. The procedures followed in the stratification and identification of Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) were similar for all rounds of the KPMS as discussed below. Formation of Strata Initially the country was divided into seven (7) strata defined by oblasts (Oblasts are administrative divisions of the country which in turn are sub-divided in to Rayons) and by residence location (i.e. urban vs. rural) within oblasts. The rural portion of Bishkek oblast was combined with the rural portion of neighbouring Chui oblast for stratification purposes as Bishkek has practically no rural population.

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

本调查的主要目的是为研究家庭福利和行为的多方面内容、贫困分析以及理解政府政策对家庭的影响提供数据。这些调查的组织实施以及项目活动的整体协调工作由吉尔吉斯共和国国家统计局（NATSTATCOM）负责，并得到美国研究三边形研究所（RTI）的技术援助。首次KPMS数据收集于1996年2月和3月（春季）完成，使用的调查问卷与1993年的调查相同。此后，NATSTATCOM决定将调查数据收集时间调整为秋季，因此，剩余的KPMS调查于1996年、1997年和1998年的10月和11月（秋季）进行。KPMS使用的问卷在某种程度上相似。1996年秋季（第二次）KPMS在之前使用的家庭问卷中增加了就业模块。1997年（第三次）KPMS在女性健康模块中增加了关于家庭计划的问题。1998年（第四次）KPMS使用了与1997年相似的问卷，但增加了扩展的农业模块。

抽样程序
---------------------------
为了加快调查过程，NATSTATCOM使用了与1993年基线调查相同的样本设计和调查工具的大部分。然而，1996年秋季至1998年的KPMS调查使用了基于吉尔吉斯家庭登记系统的新抽样框架。该系统取自为吉尔吉斯共和国首次全国普查设计的普查站点。利用此系统，NATSTATCOM于1996年1月1日更新了中央家庭登记文件，用于抽样框架的信息尽可能最新。在KPMS的所有轮次中，分层和识别一级抽样单位（PSU）的程序与以下讨论类似。形成分层最初，国家被分为七个（7）层，这些层由州（Oblasts，国家行政区域，进而被划分为区）和州内的居住地点（即城市与农村）定义。为了分层目的，比什凯克的农村部分与邻近的乔伊州的农村部分合并，因为比什凯克实际上没有农村人口。
