This book has carefully assessed recent experience and developed today's best-practice technique for household surveys. Indeed, much of this technique was developed and pioneered by the authors.This book is clear, systematic, and well structured. It is also wise and scholarly. It will be indispensable to anyone involved in carrying out or analyzing household surveys, and thus it is required reading For all those who wish to take evidence seriously when they think about policy." -Nicholas Stern, senior vice president, Development Economics and chief economist, the World Bank "This book is an ambitious undertaking, but it quickly exceeded my expectations. It has many strengths: ...com- prehensiveness, . . .ernphasis on practical application, ...and a sense of balance. For both my domestic and interna- tional survey research, this volume will serve as a valued reference tool that I will consult regularly." -David R.Williams, professor of sociology and senior research scientist, Survey Research Center, University of Michigan "This is a comprehensive guide to planning household surveys on a range of socioeconomic topics in develop- ing countries. It is authoritative, clear, and balanced. The work is a valuable addition to the library of any survey statistician or data analyst concerned with socioeconomic surveys in the developing world." -William Seltzer, former head, United Nations Statistical Office Household survey data are essential for assessing the impact of development policy on the lives of the poor.Yet for many countries household survey data are incomplete, unreliable, or out of date.This handbook is a compre- hensive treatise on the design of multitopic household surveys in developing countries. It draws on 15 years of experience from the World Bank's Living Standards Measurement Study surveys and other household surveys conducted in developing countries. The handbook covers key topics in the design of household surveys, with many suggestions for customizing sur- veys to local circumstances and improving data quality. Detailed draft questionnaires are provided in written and electronic format to help users customize surveys. This handbook serves several audiences: * Survey planners from national statistical and planning agencies, universities, think tanks, consulting firms and international organizations. * Those working on either multitopic or topic-specific surveys. * Data users, who will benefit from understanding the challenges, choices, and tradeoffs involved in data collection.
