Household Budget Survey 2004 - Bosnia and Herzegovina

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

The Household Budget Survey (HBS) constitutes the basic information to describe, analyse and interpret consumption expenditure of households in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The survey, based on a sample of households, collects data on household expenditures for consumption, with a particular focus on the social and economic aspects of household living conditions. By virtue of its sample design, the survey allows both the qualitative and quantitative analysis of living standards and consumption behaviour of households, referring to different typologies and territorial and social contexts.

The main purpose of the survey is to collect information on the structures and levels of consumption expenditure by the main social, economic and territorial characteristics of households; all expenditures incurred by households to purchase goods and services for personal consumption are registered.

The definition of consumption expenditure also includes goods coming from the household garden or farm which have been directly consumed by the household itself (self-consumption); goods and services provided by the employers as salary; the imputed rent for houses occupied by the owner or used without a charge. Any other expenditure incurred by households for purposes other than consumption is excluded from the concept of consumption expenditure (for example the purchase of a dwelling or a piece of land, the payment of taxes, expenditures connected with work activities, etc.). Data on the amount of consumption expenditure is collected at the moment the good or service is purchased, regardless of the moment it was actually consumed or paid (for example by credit card or installments).

In order to provide a complete picture, the survey collects data on expenditures for food and beverages, housing, furniture, clothes and footwear, health, transport and communication, recreation, culture and education and other goods and services not already mentioned, in addition to information on the household members (relationship with household head, age, marital status, education level, professional condition and position) and on housing characteristics.

The Household Budget Survey is a statistical survey which collects data on consumption expenditure, self-consumption and income in addition to data on basic demographic, economic and social characteristics of households. This data is used as a basis for the production of important indicators of household living standards, such as housing conditions, ownership of durable goods, dwelling heating systems, etc.

Data for this survey is collected through three questionnaires:

1. Diary of Purchases (HBS/1), in which the household records, on a daily basis over a 14 day period, quantities and values of products purchased, such as food, beverages and tobacco, as well as other products and services which the household uses on a regular basis (transport costs, personal hygiene, books, newspapers and various printed material, etc.).

2. Self-Consumption Booklet (HBS/1A), in which the household records, on a daily basis over a 14 day period, quantities consumed and estimated values of articles produced by the household.

3. Final Interview (HBS/2) which is used to collected data on household members, household expenditure for dwellings, procurement of durable goods and non-food products (furniture, services, clothing and footwear, health, transport and communication, recreation, culture, education, etc.), as well as data on household income and investments.

摘要
---------------------------
家庭预算调查（HBS）构成了描述、分析和解读波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那家庭消费支出基本信息的基石。

该调查基于家庭样本，收集家庭消费支出的数据，特别关注家庭生活条件的社会和经济方面。凭借其样本设计，调查允许对家庭生活水平及消费行为进行定性和定量分析，涉及不同类型、地域和社会背景。

调查的主要目的是收集关于家庭消费支出结构和水平的信息，这些信息根据家庭的主要社会、经济和地域特征进行登记；所有家庭为个人消费购买商品和服务的支出均被记录。消费支出的定义还包括家庭花园或农场生产的直接由家庭自身消费的商品（自给自足）；雇主提供的作为工资的商品和服务；业主或免费使用的房屋的推定租金。任何其他非消费目的的家庭支出均不包括在消费支出概念中（例如住宅或土地的购买、税收的支付、与工作活动相关的支出等）。消费支出的金额数据在购买商品或服务时收集，而不论其实际消费或支付的时间（例如使用信用卡或分期付款）。

为了提供完整的画面，调查收集了食品和饮料、住房、家具、服装和鞋类、健康、交通和通信、休闲、文化和教育以及其他未提及的商品和服务支出数据，以及关于家庭成员（与户主的关系、年龄、婚姻状况、教育水平、职业状况和职位）和住房特征的信息。

家庭预算调查是一项统计调查，收集消费支出、自给自足和收入数据，以及家庭的基本人口统计、经济和社会特征数据。这些数据作为生产重要家庭生活水平指标的基础，例如住房条件、耐用消费品所有权、住宅供暖系统等。

本调查的数据收集通过以下三种问卷进行：
1. 购买日记（HBS/1），家庭在14天的时间里每天记录购买的产品数量和价值，如食品、饮料和烟草，以及家庭定期使用的其他产品和服务（交通费用、个人卫生、书籍、报纸和各种印刷材料等）。
2. 自给自足手册（HBS/1A），家庭在14天的时间里每天记录消费的物品数量和估计价值。
3. 最终访谈（HBS/2），用于收集关于家庭成员、住房支出、耐用消费品和非食品产品（家具、服务、服装和鞋类、健康、交通和通信、休闲、文化、教育等）的采购数据，以及家庭收入和投资数据。
