Myanmar Household Welfare Survey (MHWS), Round 6

The sixth round of the Myanmar Household Welfare Survey (MHWS)–a nationwide phone panel consisting of 12,898 households–was implemented between August, 2023 and November, 2023. 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）第六轮是一项覆盖全国的电话追踪面板调查，共纳入12898户家庭，于2023年8月至2023年11月间实施。本次调查的核心目标，是在这个深受冲突、严重经济崩溃与多轮破坏性新冠疫情冲击的国家中，收集涵盖财富、生计状况、失业情况、粮食不安全水平、膳食质量、健康冲击及应对策略等多类家庭与个体福利指标的数据。参与MHWS的受访对象，均从一个旨在实现缅甸各地区/邦层面以及城乡层面代表性的大型电话数据库中定向选取。结合家庭与人口权重开发的创新性抽样策略，使得本次调查的估计结果能够在全国、区域以及城乡层面均具备充分代表性。
