    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.With bigger sample size, comprehensive surveys were carried out prior to the current one during t he NSS 28th round (1973-74), 44th round (1988-89) and 49th round (January-June 1993). After a gap of nearly ten years, the fourth survey in the series was conducted in the 58th round during July–December 2002.

    Abstract

    The National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) conducted an integrated survey encompassing various aspects of the socio-economic scenario during July to December 2002. The survey, among others, included the housing condition of all segments of population. Information on the available condition of the structure where the household stays, the amenities available in their houses and details of construction work undertaken by households, were collected in the current survey through household enquiry.

    Notes

    The survey on housing condition was aimed to portray several aspects of housing condition. On the one hand, the condition of the residential dwellings with respect to its micro environment like the area where the house was located, plinth area, plinth level, period
    since built, condition of the structure, type of ownership, number of rooms, etc., infrastructural facilities like electricity, drinking water, sewerage, drainage, garbage disposal, ventilation, etc. was collected. On the other hand, detailed information on the structure type of the dwelling where the household was residing, constructions and repairs carried out by the households during the last five years including cost and source of finance, and particulars of dwellings and land owned elsewhere by the households inside the country was also collected through the same schedule of enquiry. This apart, data on household characteristics, land possessed, principal industry and occupation of the household, average monthly consumer expenditure of the household, distance to the place of work normally
    travelled by any member of the household, possession of some durable goods and some migration related information were also collected.

    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    A stratified multi-stage sampling design was adopted for selection of the ultimate sample units. The first-stage units (FSUs) for
    the survey were villages (panchayat wards in Kerala) in the rural areas and the Urban Frame Survey (UFS) blocks in urban areas. If an FSU was quite large, it was divided into smaller areas of equal population, called hamlet-groups, and two hamlet-groups were selected at random and merged, demarcating the area to be used for selection of the households - the ultimate stage units. The households were selected at random from the entire FSU, if the FSU was not large, or from the selected hamlet-groups for larger FSUs. A detailed discussion on the sample design and estimation procedure followed in the survey is given as an ATTACHMENT in external resources.

    Deviations from the Sample Design

    There was no deviation from the original sample deviation.

    Response Rate

    A total of 8338 first stage units, i.e., villages (panchayat wards for Kerala) in the rural and UFS blocks in the urban were selected for this survey, of which 8307 could be surveyed in the central sample. At the all-India level, a total of 97882 households were captured in the surveyed FSUs.

    Weighting

    Sample weights were calculated and included in each of the data files Variable 'Wgt_SS' refers to Multiplier for each Subsample.
    Variable 'Wgt_Combined' refers to Combined Multiplier.
