Household Living Conditions Survey 2011 - Ukraine

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

The Household Living Conditions Survey 2011 provides information on poverty analysis in Ukraine. The results of the household survey are used in Ukraine for analyzing various issues, among which poverty, access to material benefits, subjective self-evaluation by households of their level of well-being are of special priority. The data obtained through this survey makes it possible to carry out methodologically comparative poverty studies using almost all above criteria.

The data can be used to analyze the following:
- social-demographic characteristics of household members;
- expenditures and consumption;
- income and other resources, including those coming from subsidiary farming;
- housing conditions;
- availability of durable goods;
- evaluation of health conditions and access to medical goods and services;
- evaluation of well-being level and economic expectations;
- access to certain goods and services;
- access to information and communication technologies.

Geographic coverage
---------------------------

National, except some settlements within the territories suffered from the Chernobyl disaster.

Analysis unit
---------------------------

- Households,
- Individuals.

A household is a totality of persons who jointly live in the same residential facilities of part of those, satisfy all their essential needs, jointly keep the house, pool and spend all their money or portion of it. These persons may be relatives by blood, relatives by law or both, or have no kinship relations. A household may consist of one person (Law of Ukraine "On Ukraine National Census of Population," Article 1). As only 0.50% households have members with no kinship relations (0.65% total households if bachelors are excluded), the contemporary concepts "household" and "family" are very close.

Universe
---------------------------

Whole country, all private households. The survey does not cover collective households, foreigners temporarily living in Ukraine as well as the homeless.

Kind of data
---------------------------

Sample survey data [ssd]

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

The survey covers only private households. The sample does not include marginal population groups (individuals without permanent place of residence, etc.). Annual full rotation of respondents is used. Every five years survey territories are rotated. The territorial sampling excludes residential areas that are located in the exclusion and compulsory resettlement zone affected by radioactive contamination as a result of the Chernobyl nuclear power station accident. Sampling is done by stratified multistage probability sampling methods. The sampling methodology ensures that each household has a certain non-zero probability of being selected.

Mode of data collection
---------------------------

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument
---------------------------

The household living conditions survey includes three components and uses various survey tools to obtain information.

I. Collecting general data on a household - basic interview. Interviewing of households takes place at the survey commencement stage based on the adequate questionnaire program on general basic household features: household composition, housing facilities, availability and use of land plots, cattle and poultry, and also characteristics of household members: anthropometric data, education, employment status, etc. In addition, while interviewing, the interviewer completes a household composition check card to trace any changes during the entire survey period.

II. Observation of household expenditures and incomes over a quarter. For the observation, two survey tools are used:
Weekly diary of current expenditures, which is completed directly by a household twice a quarter. In the diary respondents (households) record all daily expenditures in details (e.g. for purchased foodstuffs - product description, its weight and value, and place of purchase). In addition, a household puts into the diary information on consumption of products produced in private subsidiary farming or received as a gift.

Households are evenly distributed among rotation groups, who complete diaries in different week days of every quarter. Assuming that the two weeks data are intrinsic for the entire quarter, the single time period of data processing (quarter) is formed by means of multiplying diary data by ratio 6.5 (number of weeks in a quarter divided on the number of weeks when diary records were made). Inclusion of foodstuffs for long-time consumption is done based on quarterly interview data.

Quarterly questionnaire is used in quarterly interviewing of households in the first month following the reporting quarter. At this state, we collect data on large and irregular expenditures, in particular those relating to the purchase of foodstuffs for long-time consumption (e.g. sacks, etc.), and also data on household incomes. Since recalling all incomes and expenditures made in a quarter is uneasy, households make records during a quarter in a special 'Quarterly expenditures log'.

The major areas for quarterly observation are the following:
- structure of consumer financial expenditures for goods and services;
- structure of other expenditures (material aid to other households, expenditures for private subsidiary farming, purchase of real estate, construction and major repair of housing facilities and outbuildings, accumulating savings, etc);
- importance of private subsidiary farming for household welfare level (receipt and use of products from private subsidiary farming for own consumption, financial income from sales of such products, etc.);
- structure of income and other financial sources of a household. We separately study the income of every individual household member (remuneration of labor, pension, scholarship, welfare, etc.) and the income in form payments to a household as a whole (subsidies for children, aid of relatives and other persons, income from - sales of real estate and property, housing and utility subsidies, use of savings, etc.).

III. Single-time topical interviews Questionnaires are used for quarterly interviewing.

Quarterly topical interviews covered the following:
- household expenditures for construction and repair of housing facilities and outbuilding;
- availability in a household of durable goods;
- assessment by households members of own health and accessibility of selected medical services;
- self-assessment by a household of adequacy of its income;
- a household's access to Internet.

摘要
---------------------------
乌克兰2011年家庭生活状况调查提供了有关乌克兰贫困分析的信息。家庭调查的结果在乌克兰用于分析各种问题，其中贫困、物质福利的获取以及家庭对其自身福祉水平的主体自我评价具有特别重要的优先级。通过此次调查获得的数据，使得采用几乎所有上述标准进行方法论上的贫困比较研究成为可能。

数据可用于分析以下方面：
- 家庭成员的社会人口特征；
- 支出和消费；
- 收入及其他资源，包括来自辅助农业的收入；
- 住房条件；
- 耐用消费品的可获得性；
- 健康状况评估及医疗商品和服务的获取；
- 福利水平评估和经济预期；
- 某些商品和服务的获取；
- 信息和通信技术的获取。

地理覆盖范围
---------------------------
全国，除切尔诺贝利灾难影响区域内的部分定居点外。

分析单元
---------------------------
- 家庭，
- 个人。

家庭是指居住在同一住宅设施中或部分居住在同一住宅设施内、满足其所有基本需求、共同维护住宅、共同管理和共同使用其全部或部分资金的个人集合。这些人员可能是血缘亲属、法定亲属或两者兼具，或者没有任何亲属关系。家庭可能由一人组成（乌克兰《关于乌克兰国家人口普查法》第1条）。由于只有0.50%的家庭成员之间没有亲属关系（排除单身家庭后的总家庭数为0.65%），因此现代概念中的“家庭”和“家庭”非常接近。

总体
---------------------------
整个国家，所有私人家庭。调查不包括集体家庭、临时居住在乌克兰的外国人以及无家可归者。

数据类型
---------------------------
样本调查数据 [ssd]

抽样程序
---------------------------
调查仅涵盖私人家庭。样本不包括边缘人口群体（无固定住所的个人等）。采用年度完整轮换受访者。每五年轮换一次调查地区。地域抽样排除了位于切尔诺贝利核电站事故放射性污染影响区域内的排除区和强制迁移区内的住宅区。抽样采用分层多阶段概率抽样方法。抽样方法确保每个家庭都有一定的非零概率被选中。

数据收集方式

研究工具
---------------------------
家庭生活状况调查包括三个组成部分，并使用各种调查工具来获取信息。

I. 收集家庭的一般数据 - 基本访谈。访谈在调查开始阶段根据有关一般基本家庭特征的适当问卷程序进行：家庭构成、住房设施、土地的使用和利用、牲畜和家禽，以及家庭成员的特征：人体测量数据、教育、就业状况等。此外，在访谈过程中，访谈员填写家庭构成检查卡，以追踪整个调查期间的变化。

II. 对家庭支出和收入进行为期一个季度的观察。观察时使用两种调查工具：
- 每周支出日记，由家庭每季度直接填写两次。在日记中，受访者（家庭）详细记录所有日常支出（例如，对于购买的食品 - 产品描述、重量和价值以及购买地点）。此外，家庭还将自给自足生产的食品或收到的赠品的信息放入日记中。

家庭被均匀分配到轮换组中，他们在每个季度的不同工作日完成日记。假设两周的数据对于整个季度来说是内在的，因此通过将日记数据乘以6.5（季度中的周数除以记录日记的周数）的比例，形成一个单一时间数据处理的周期（季度）。长期消费食品的包括基于季度访谈数据。

季度问卷用于季度访谈。在报告季度后的第一个月对家庭的季度访谈中，我们收集有关大型和不规则支出的数据，特别是与长期消费食品（例如，袋装食品等）购买相关的数据，以及家庭收入的数据。由于回忆一个季度内所有收入和支出都很困难，家庭在季度内使用专门的“季度支出日志”进行记录。

季度观察的主要领域如下：
- 消费者对商品和服务的金融支出结构；
- 其他支出结构（向其他家庭的物质援助、私人辅助农业支出、房地产购买、住房设施和附属建筑的建设和大规模修缮、积累储蓄等）；
- 私人辅助农业对家庭福利水平的重要性（自给自足生产的产品的收用、此类产品的销售收入等）；
- 家庭收入和其他金融来源的结构。我们分别研究了每个家庭成员的收入（劳动报酬、养老金、奖学金、福利等）以及以支付给家庭整体的形式的收入（儿童补贴、亲属和其他人的援助、房地产和财产的销售收入、住房和服务补贴、储蓄的使用等）。

III. 单次专题访谈。使用问卷进行季度访谈。

季度专题访谈包括以下内容：
- 家庭对住房设施和附属建筑的建设和修缮的支出；
- 家庭耐用消费品的可获得性；
- 家庭成员对自身健康和所选医疗服务的可获得性的评估；
- 家庭对其收入充足性的自我评估；
- 家庭对互联网的获取。
