Household Budget Survey 2010 - 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（前身为科索沃统计局）自2002年起便开始实施家庭预算调查。家庭预算调查已成为科索沃在构建长期监测和评估国内贫困率及生活水平体系中的核心调查项目。数据收集由科索沃统计局员工通过其地区办事处进行。
通过家庭预算调查收集的数据，能够提供关于家庭生活水平、消费及支出，以及家庭社会经济特性的信息。家庭预算调查的一项目标即为获取评估消费者价格指数（CPI）所需权重之必要数据。此外，此调查亦提供用于测量家庭国民账户（NA）中的私人消费及分析特定时间段内国家层面的福利与贫困的数据。
数据收集自全科索沃范围内随机选取的2,400户家庭，为期一年。
消费分类依据COICOP（按目的划分个人消费的分类）标准，以与国民账户和消费者价格指数保持一致。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（通过日记记录支持），以及12个月，针对耐用品。
