The book will help identify define objectives, identify data needed to analyze objectives, and draft questionnaires to collect such data. Much of the book is based on the experience of the World Bank's Living Standard's Measurement Study (LSMS) program, established in 1980 to explore ways the accuracy, timeliness, and policy relevance of household survey data collected in developing countries. It is part of an attempt to extend the range of policy issues that can be analyzed with LSMS data; to increase the reliability and accuracy of the surveys; and to make it easier to implement LSMS surveys. The books first discuss the "big picture" concerning the overall design of surveys, modules to be used, and procedures for combining modules into questionnaires and questionnaires into surveys. Individual modules are discussed in depth as well as major policy issues. The process of manipulating modules to form a better 'fit' in the case of a specific survey is examined. Specific modules include: consumption, education, health employment, anthropometry, non-labor income, housing, price data, environmental issues, fertility, household income, savings, household enterprises, and time use. The third volume provides draft questionnaires, referenced in the prior chapters.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOALLOCATION OF RESOURCESBASIC FOOD ITEMSCALCULATIONCOLCONSUMPTION PATTERNSDATA COLLECTIONDATA COLLECTION METHODSDATA ENTRYDATA QUALITYDATA SETSDATA SOURCESDESCRIPTIVE STATISTICSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRYDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDEVELOPMENT NETWORKDEVELOPMENT POLICYDONOR AGENCIESECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICSEMPLOYMENT PROGRAMSFERTILITY SURVEYSFOOD POLICY RESEARCHHEALTH SURVEYHEALTH SURVEYSHOUSEHOLD BEHAVIORHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD MEMBERSHOUSEHOLD QUESTIONNAIREHOUSEHOLD ROSTERHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHOUSEHOLD SURVEY DATAHOUSEHOLD SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRESHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHOUSEHOLD WELFAREHOUSING CONDITIONSHOUSING SURVEYSINCOME COUNTRIESINCOME LEVELSINCOME RISESINTERNATIONAL LABOURINTERVIEWERINTERVIEWSLABOR FORCELIVING CONDITIONSLIVING STANDARDSLIVING STANDARDS MEASUREMENTLIVING STANDARDS MEASUREMENT STUDYLSMSMULTI-TOPIC SURVEYNATIONAL DEBATEPOLICY ANALYSISPOLICY CHANGESPOLICY CHOICESPOLICY OPTIONSPOLICY RELEVANCEPOVERTY PROFILEPOVERTY TRENDSPRICE SUBSIDIESPROGRAMSPUBLIC ATTENTIONPUBLIC INTERVENTIONSQUALITATIVE DATAQUALITATIVE DATA COLLECTION METHODSQUALITATIVE DATA COLLECTION TECHNIQUESQUALITY CONTROLREDUCING POVERTYRESPONDENT FATIGUERURAL AREASSAMSDASOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL DIMENSIONSSOCIAL DIMENSIONS OF ADJUSTMENTSOCIAL ENVIRONMENTSOCIAL POLICYSOCIOECONOMIC SURVEYSSOCIOLOGYSTATISTICAL OFFICESTATISTICAL THEORYSURVEY DATASURVEY DESIGNSURVEY RESEARCHSURVEYINGURBAN AREASBookWorld Bank10.1596/25338https://doi.org/10.1596/25338
