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 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.
