Myanmar Household Welfare Survey (MHWS), Round 8

The eighth round of the Myanmar Household Welfare Survey (MHWS)–a nationwide phone panel consisting of 12,058 households–was implemented between October, 2024 and December, 2024. The objective of the survey was to collect data on a wide range of household and individual welfare indicators–including wealth, livelihoods, unemployment, food insecurity, diet quality, health shocks, and coping strategies–in a country exceptionally hard hit by conflict, severe economic collapse, and several damaging waves of COVID-19. The respondents interviewed in the MHWS were purposely selected from a large phone database aimed at being representative at the region/state level and urban/rural level in Myanmar. A novel sampling strategy in combination with the development of household and population weights allows for estimates that are nationally, regionally, and urban/rural representative.缅甸家庭福利调查（Myanmar Household Welfare Survey, MHWS）第八轮是一项覆盖全国的电话追踪面板调查，共纳入12058户家庭，调查实施时间为2024年10月至2024年12月。本次调查的目标是在这个饱受冲突、严重经济崩溃以及多轮破坏性新冠疫情冲击的国家中，收集涵盖财富水平、生计状况、失业情况、粮食不安全状况、饮食质量、健康冲击以及应对策略等多维度家庭与个体福利指标的数据。本次MHWS的受访对象均从某大型电话数据库中选取，该数据库的构建旨在确保样本在缅甸各地区/邦以及城乡层面具备代表性。本次调查采用了创新的抽样策略，并结合家庭与人口权重的设置，使得调查估算结果能够在全国、各区域以及城乡层面具备代表性。
