This allowed a detailed analysis of the standard of living of the Bulgarian population in general and of the poor in particular, since it allowed to link information on income and expenditure to other household characteristics like health and education for example.","coll_dates":[{"start":"1995-05","end":"1995-07","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"Bulgaria","abbreviation":"BGR"}],"geog_coverage":"National","analysis_unit":"- Households\n- Individuals","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"The 1995 Integrated Household Survey covered the following topics:\n- Household roster\n- Migration\n- Formal and non-formal education and child care\n- Housing\n- Food expenditure and consumption\n- Purchase on non-food commodities\n- Status and history of employment and other earning activities\n- Main job, dependent activity (working for a salary or commission for somebody else)\n- Second job, dependent activity (working for a salary or commission for somebody else)\n- Self employment, independent activity (working for yourself)\n- Agricultural land\n- Agricultural crop production\n- Agricultural assets\n- Agricultural livestock\n- Other farming income and costs\n- Agricultural labor allocation\n- Remittances, income received from absent members of the household or from any other person\n- Remittances, absent household members and other persons who received contributions form the household\n- Social assistance\/ insurance\n- Private old age pension\n- State old age pension\n- Survivers pension\n- Disability pension\n- Unemployment benefits (for all people above age 15)\n- Maternity and social program benefits\n- In kind individual social benefits\n- Cash and in kind household social benefits\n- Other forms of revenue\/ debts\n- Household furniture and durable goods\n- Real estate assets\n- Health status\n- Fertility"},"method":{"data_collection":{"sampling_procedure":"Sample size \nThe sample size was approximately 2,500 households over the whole national territory of Bulgaria, excluding replaced households.\n\nGeneral Census information - Last done in 1992\nIn Bulgaria there were approximately 40,000 Statistical Sectors (SS). Each one contained approximately 80 households, giving a total of 2.9 million households. The average household size was 3 and the total population was approximately 9 million (8,459,763 at the last count in December 1993).\n\nSample Selection \nA fixed number of households (5) was collected in each SS. The number of SS that were selected, were 500 (5*500=2,500). Each cluster was selected with probability proportional to the number of households in each cluster from a subsample of 4,000 available representative clusters. \n\nThe general sample methodology had been designed to insure that all the households of different size and in all regions and town had the same probability to be selected. The actual sampling of the households were done in two stages: a) In the first stage the SS were Selected with Probability Proportional to the Size. The listing had been organized in the following order: (i) the list of the 28 regions, (ii) Cities, towns and villages; (iii) each city and town was listed by size; b) In the second stage the households interviewed were selected with Equal Probability, provided that they had been listed according to their size (all households of one person first, all the households of two people second and so on).","coll_mode":"Face-to-face [f2f]"}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"conditions":"To use the data from the Bulgaria 1995 Integrated Household Survey, we ask that you fill in a Data User Agreement.
