Sampling Procedure for HBS


Used territorially-random sampling
For sample uses three-stage probability sampling
with preliminary stratification. The population
census data were gathered using the following
administrative units: the population census
districts, supervisor site and enumerator unit.
The census districts are used as the primary
sampling units (PSUs), with the population
census supervisor areas as the secondary
sampling units (SSUs), and with households as
the ultimate sampling units
3
Sampling Procedure for HBS

Data from the 2009 population
census had been entered and stored
by following structure: code of
districts and census district,
supervisor site, enumerator unit,
surname, name head of households,
number of person, full address and
mail index
4
Sampling Procedure for HBS

The secondary sampling units were formed using
maps of the population census territories, the
population census data on number of households
living within each of these territories. Within each
primary sampling unit in rural areas selected at
the first stage, one secondary sampling unit per
interviewer was selected, using systematic
probability proportional to size sampling. In order
to spread out to a greater extent the sample
within each primary sampling unit of urban areas,
two secondary sampling units per interviewer
were selected using systematic probability
proportional to size sampling.

status of a household.s head
 By decile and quintil groups of population

Poverty Level, 2012
Absolute poverty – 137 $
(consumers expenditure median)
 is based in the size of a minimum consumption
basket that includes 2400 kcal per day
 specific gravity of foodstuff in a minimum
consumption basket is equal to 59 %
 Relative poverty – 78 $
(60 % of consumers expenditure median per capita)
 defines poverty level in the poorest groups of
population


Poverty line

The Law on living wage (minimum
consumption budget) was adopted by
Cabinet of the Ministers in 2005 according
to which per capita basket of goods per
year is calculated by normative-statistical
method as well as by able-bodied
population, pensioners, and children
under 15 years old.

Материальная депривация

Госкомстат в 2014 году изучал методологию
по вопросам материальной депривации
населения, в том числе используемую
методологию Евростата. В феврале 2015
года проведен пилотный опрос на сети
домохозяйств, принимающих участие в
обследовании бюджетов домашних
хозяйств. В настоящее время
обрабатывается результаты данного
обследования.
Application of new technology in household survey

Statstatcom of the Republic of Azerbaijan implemented
survey on deprivation by the application of modern
information technology. By the purpose of preparation
of operative and more complete statistical data in online
regime were used tablet-type computers. The
advantage of this experience of technological innovation
is not using the paper during the collection of data.
Statistical data had been loaded into the tablet type
computers, inserted into tables and saved through
touch screen and transferred directly to the special
address of the Committee’s server network through the
special software package in any web space.
Comprehensiveness of inquiry had been checked by
means of logical control software compiled to minimize
errors probability during the survey. Statistical data
entered to the server is afterward transformed into
14
database files and accepted for processing.
