Household Budget Survey 2006 - Kosovo

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

Kosovo Agency of Statistics (formerly known as Statistical Office of Kosovo) has been conducting Household Budget Survey since 2002. The HBS has become a core survey in Kosovo's efforts to build a long-term monitoring and evaluation system of poverty rates and living standards in the country. Collection of data from households is done by Kosovo Agency of Statistics employees through its regional offices.

Data collected through HBS provide information on living standards, consumption and expenditure of families, and households' socio-economic characteristics. One of the objectives of Household Budget Survey is to obtain necessary data for assessing the weight used to calculate the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Also, this survey provides data that will be used as an input for the measurement of private consumption in the National Accounts (NA) of families, as well as for analysis of welfare and poverty at the country level within the specified timeframe.

The data is collected during one year all over Kosovo from a random sample of 2,400 households.

The consumption is classified according to the COICOP (Classification of Individual Consumption by Purpose) standard to harmonize with National Accounts and Consumer Price Index. Most of the consumption is based on goods bought and services paid for during a reference period. The reference period is one month for daily consumption (supported by diary keeping) and 12 months for durable goods.

摘要
---------------------------
科索沃统计局（原名科索沃统计局）自2002年起便持续开展家庭预算调查。家庭预算调查已成为科索沃构建长期监测与评估国家贫困率及生活水平的核心调查。数据收集工作由科索沃统计局员工通过其地方办事处进行。

通过家庭预算调查收集的数据，提供了关于家庭生活水平、消费与支出的信息，以及家庭的社会经济特征。家庭预算调查的其中一个目标是为评估计算消费者价格指数（CPI）所使用的权重提供必要数据。此外，本调查还提供了数据，这些数据将被用作国家账户（NA）中家庭私人消费的测量输入，以及在国家层面内指定时间段内对福利与贫困的分析。

数据收集覆盖了科索沃全境，为期一年，来自2,400户家庭的随机样本。

消费按照COICOP（按目的划分的个人消费分类）标准进行分类，以与国家账户和消费者价格指数相协调。大部分消费基于参考期间购买的商品和支付的服务。
参考期间为一个月，针对日常消费（通过日记记录得到支持），以及12个月针对耐用品。
