The HIES 2009\/10 which was conducted three years after the previous survey, HIES 2006\/07, is the seventh in the HIES series.  This survey provides information on household income and expenditure in order  to measure the levels and changes in the living conditions of the people,  to observe the consumption patterns and  to compute various other indicators such as poverty. \n\nThe data collection in the field is done in twelve monthly rounds to capture the seasonal variation of income and expenditure patterns of households.

The sample frame, which is a collection of all census blocks in the domain, was used for the selection of primary sampling units. A sample of 2500 primary sampling units was selected from the sampling frame for the survey.\n\nEach selected block was updated to include newly built housing units and excluded demolished housing units, which are no longer in  existence. This updating operation was also carried out over a period of 12 months, starting from June 2009 to May 2010. For each PSU, updating was done about one month prior to the scheduled interviewing.\n\nSelection of Secondary Sampling Units (SSU's)\n\nSecondary Sampling Units are the housing units in the selected 2500 primary sampling units (census blocks). From each primary sampling unit 10 housing units (SSU) were selected for the survey. The total sample size of 25000 housing units was selected and distributed among Districts in Sri Lanka.","coll_mode":["Face-to-face [f2f]"],"weight":"http:\/\/www.statistics.gov.lk\/HIES\/PreReportHIES2009Eng.pdf\n\nBy visiting the above website a description about the adjustments  for  non-response  could be read in section  1.4  of  the preliminary  report."}}},"schematype":"survey"}
