    Socio-Economic/Household Survey

    Series Information

    Housing condition of the people is one of the very important indicators of the socio-economic development of the country. Statistical data on housing condition in qualitative and quantitative terms are needed periodically for an assessment of housing stock and formulation of housing policies and programmes. NSS therefore, started collecting data on housing condition of the dwelling units and basic housing amenities available to them from its 7th round (October 1953 - march 1954) to the 23rd round ( July 1968 - June 1969 ) with the exception in the 13th and 14th rounds. A comprehensive survey on housing condition was first carried out in the NSS 28th round (October 1973 - June 1974 ) in the rural and urban areas of the country with a sample six of about 1.2 lakhs households with a view to providing reliable estimates at state/union-territory level. The next comprehensive survey on housing condition was carried out in the NSS 44th round ( July 1988 - June 1989 ). The relevant information were collected in detail in a separate schedule canvassed from about 74,000 sample households. A similar comprehensive survey on housing condition was conducted in the NSS 49th round along with a survey on migration.

    Abstract

    The national sample survey (NSS), set-up by the government of India in 1950 to collect socio-economic data employing scientific sampling methods, completed its forty-ninth round as a six months survey during the period January to June,1993.
    Housing condition of the people is one of the very important indicators of the socio-economic development of the country. Statistical data on housing condition in qualitative and quantitative terms are needed periodically for an assessment of housing stock and formulation of housing policies and programmes. NSS 49th round was devoted mainly to the survey on housing condition and migration with special emphasis on slum dwellers. An integrated schedule was designed for collecting data on 'housing condition' as well as ' migration '. Also,households living in the slums were adequately represented in the sample of households where the integrated schedule was canvassed.The present study was different from the earlier study in the sense that the coverage in the present round was much wider. Detailed information on migration have been made with a view to throw data on different facets of migration. For this reason we find separate migration data for males & females, migrant households, return migrants, the structure of the residence of the migrants' households before & after migration, status of the migrants before and after migration and other details on migration. It is to be noted that comprehensive data on out-migrants & return-migrants were collected for the first time in the 49th round.

    Notes

    A comprehensive survey on housing condition was earlier carried out by the NSSO in its 44th round (1988-89) operations. Data on immigration were last collected as a part of the fourth quinquennial survey on employment and unemployment during 1987-88 (NSS 43rd round). In view of the importance of upto date statistical intelligence regarding housing stock as well as additions - both in quantitative and qualitative terms - for formulation of housing policies, the NSS 49th round has mainly been devoted to the survey on housing condition. As the last survey on the conditions of the slum dwellers was carried out by the NSSO over 15 years back, special emphasis was given to obtain the needed information to study the conditions of the slum dwellers. But the slum dwellers consisted of mainly migrant labour, so an integrated schedule to collect information on both the housing condition and migration with emphasis on slum dwellers was formulated for the 49th round survey. The schedule was framed to collect housing statistics relating to information on (i) the characteristics of the stock of residential housing and amenities currently available and (ii) addition through construction of buildings for habitation purpose. Relating to migration, collected information on out migration and also international migration. In addition, collected information on conditions of slum dwellers and also utilisation of public distribution system in respect of essential commodities.
    The present study was different from the earlier study in the sense that the coverage in the present round was much wider. Ddetailed information on migration have been made with a view to throw data on different facets of migration. For this reason we find separate migration data for males & females, migrant households, return migrants, the structure of the residence of the migrants' households before & after migration, status of the migrants before and after migration and other details on migration. It is to be noted that comprehensive data on out-migrants & return-migrants have been collected for the first time in the 49th round.

    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    A two-stage stratified design was adopted for the 49th round survey. The first-stage units(fsu) were census villages in the rural sector and U.F.S. (Urban Frame Survey) blocks in the urban sector (However, for some of the newly declared towns of 1991 census for which UFS frames were not available, census EBs were first-stage units). The second-stage units were households in both the sectors. In the central sample altogether 5072 sample villages and 2928 urban sample blocks at all-India level were selected. Sixteen households were selected per sample village/block in each of which the schedule of enquiry was canvassed. The number of
    sample households actually surveyed for the enquiry was 119403.

    Sample frame for fsus : Mostly the 1981 census lists of villages constituted the sampling frame for rural sector. For Nagaland, the villages located within 5 kms. of a bus route constituted the sampling frame. For Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the list of accessible villages was used as the sampling frame. For the Urban sector, the lists of NSS Urban Frame Survey (UFS) blocks have been considered as the sampling frame in most cases. However, 1991 house listing EBs (Enumeration blocks) were considered as the sampling frame for some of the new towns of 1991 census, for which UFS frames were not available.

    Stratification for rural sector : States have been divided into NSS regions by grouping contiguous districts similar in respect of population density and crop pattern. In Gujarat, however, some districts have been split for the purpose of region formation, considering the location of dry areas and distribution of tribal population in the state. In the rural sector, each district with 1981 / 1991 census rural population less than, 1.8 million/2 million formed a separate stratum. Districts with larger population were divided into two or more strata, by grouping contiguous tehsils.

    Stratification for urban sector : In the urban sector, strata were formed, within the NSS region, according to census population size classes of towns. Each city with population 10 lakhs or more formed a separate stratum. Further, within each region, the different towns were grouped to form three different strata on the basis of their respective census population as follows : all towns with population less than 50,000 as stratum 1, those with population 50,000 to 1,99,999 as stratum-2 and those with population 2,00,000 to 9,99,999 as stratum-3.

    Sample size for fsu's : The central sample comprised of 5072 villages and 2928 blocks.

    Selection of first stage units : The sample villages have been selected with probability proportional to population with replacement and the sample blocks by simple random sampling without replacement. Selection was done in both the sectors in the form of two independent sub-samples.

    Deviations from the Sample Design

    There was no deviation from the original sample deviation.

    Weighting

    Sample weights were calculated and included in each of the data files

    The survey period of six months for this round is divided into two sub-rounds of three months` Equal number of sample villages and blocks were allotted for survey in each of these two sub-rounds. Each village/ block was surveyed during the sub-round period to which it was allotted. Because of the arduous field condition, this restriction not strictly enforced in Andaman & Nicobar Island, Lakshadweep and rural areas of Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland.
