Survey of Living Conditions and Household Expenditure and Income 2007-2008 - Dominica

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

The Country Poverty Assessments have several components including a survey of living conditions. This documentation is of the survey of living conditions and is taken from Country Poverty Assessment - Dominica Volume 1 Main Report, prepared by KAIRI. This survey was designed to collect data on living conditions in Dominica. The comprehensive Survey of Living Conditions (SLC) combined with a survey of household income and expenditure, sought to collect information from households on their buying habits (expenditures), income and other characteristics. This information was then used to relate the expenditures and income patterns of consumers (households) to the socio-demographic and other characteristics of those same households. The Survey of Living Conditions (SLC) questionnaire was administered to a systematic, stratified random sample of 877 households representing 2,673 individuals, throughout Dominica.

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

A systematic stratified random sample was selected for this survey. The sample was selected from the Household Registry, a sample frame, based on a listing of block and parcel addresses for all of the islands completed in November, 2006. A sample interval based on the address list was determined and a random number generator was used to determine the random start address. In some areas, oversampling, by reducing the sample interval assigned to the EDs, was done to increase the reliability of the estimates of population parameters derived from the sample.

摘要
---------------------------
国家贫困评估包括多个组成部分，其中之一是对生活条件的调查。本文件即为生活条件调查的相关文档，内容源自于由 KAIRI 编制的《多米尼克国家贫困评估第一卷主要报告》。此次调查旨在收集多米尼克的生活条件数据。综合生活条件调查（SLC）与家庭收入支出调查相结合，旨在从家庭层面收集其购买习惯（支出）、收入及其他特征信息。随后，这些信息被用于将消费者的支出和收入模式（家庭）与相同家庭的社经人口特征及其他特征相联系。生活条件调查（SLC）问卷通过面对面的方式，对代表多米尼克全国877户家庭的2,673位个体进行了系统性、分层随机抽样。

抽样方法
---------------------------
本次调查采用系统性分层随机抽样。样本从家庭登记册中选取，登记册基于2006年11月完成的岛屿街区及地块地址列表。根据地址列表确定了样本间隔，并使用随机数生成器确定随机起始地址。在某些地区，通过减少分配给住宅区的样本间隔（即过度抽样）来增加从样本中得出的关于人口参数估计的可靠性。
