Continuous Multi-Purpose Household Survey 2009 - Mauritius

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

The primary objective of the Continuous Multi-Purpose Household Survey is to provide a permanent platform for the collection of data to compile socio-economic indicators to keep track of development in the country.

The survey had national coverage

Analysis unit

Households and individuals

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

The survey covers all private Mauritian households on the islands of Mauritius and Rodrigues.

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

Sample survey data

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

A stratified two-stage sampling design is used. At the first stage, Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) are selected with probability proportional to size and at the second stage, a fixed number of households is selected from each selected PSU. Prior to 2005, the first stage stratification factors were urban, semi urban and rural geographical locations. The second stage stratification criteria are community, household size and average monthly expenditure of the household. From 1999 to 2003, around 6,500 households were covered each year. In 2004, the sample was increased to 8,640 so that reliable quarterly estimates of labour force, employment and unemployment could be worked out. From 2005 the sample was further increased to 11,280. Furthermore, in order to measure quarterly changes, 50% of the households sampled in a quarter are now re-interviewed in the following quarter.

样本调查数据。
抽样程序
---------------------------
采用分层两阶段抽样设计。在第一阶段，根据规模比例随机选择初级抽样单位（PSU），在第二阶段，从每个选定的PSU中选取固定数量的家庭。在2005年之前，第一阶段分层因素包括城市、半城市和农村地理区位。第二阶段分层标准为社区、家庭规模和家庭平均月支出。从1999年到2003年，每年约覆盖6,500个家庭。2004年，样本量增加至8,640，以便能够计算出可靠的季度劳动力、就业和失业估计。从2005年起，样本量进一步增加至11,280。此外，为了测量季度变化，现在每季度被选取的50%的家庭将在下一个季度重新进行访谈。
