Series Information
Three Living Standards Measurement Study surveys had been conducted in Tajikistan. The first was conducted in 1999, the second in 2003, and the third survey was conducted in 2007. This is the fourth Living Standards Survey and panel with 2007.
Abstract
The principal focus of the survey is an issue of interest to us all - the welfare level of Tajik individuals and households. The survey data will be used in analyses to determine what proportion of Tajiks are unable to meet their basic needs to enjoy an adequate standard of living and are living in poverty. These studies will also consider what accounts for some households being able to attain and sustain such a standard of living and what might be done to assist those households and individuals now living in poverty to escape poverty. The information collected in the TLSS09 also will be used in a range of other studies, including examining employment, health, nutritional status, agriculture, as well as better understanding how households respond to changes in the macroeconomic environment. As you will learn, the data collected using the TLSS09 is particularly rich because it integrates such a wide range of aspects of household and individual characteristics.

Data Collection Notes
The Tajikistan 2009 Living Standards Survey (TLSS09) is a panel survey of 1,500 households interviewed during the Tajikistan 2007 Living Standards Survey (TLSS07).
The households were revisited in November 2009 which is the same time period in which they were visited originally in 2007.

Questionnaires

Questionnaires
The questionnaire for the survey was developed in English and then translated into Tajik and Russian. During the translation process, there were some questions which were not translated completely or in which the response options were not translated complete.

Data Processing

Other Processing
The data from the TLSS09 can be matched to the data from the TLSS07 in the following way. The variables “psuid” and “hhuid” are the variables that need to be used to merge together the TLSS07 and TLSS09 data. Variable “hhid” in the TLSS07 data is unique to the TLSS07 data and can be used to merge together the data files from the TLSS07 survey. Variable „HHID” in the TLSS09 data is unique to the TLSS09 data and can be used to merge together the data files from the TLSS09 data.
