| Description |
In this report results from the Cambodia Socio-Economic Survey (CSES) 2013 are presented. The CSES is a household survey with questions to households and their household members about housing conditions, education, economic activities, household production, household income and consumption, health and victimization.
Eleven rounds of the CSES have been conducted since 1993. CSES was conducted intermittently in the period 1993 to 2004 but since 2007 the survey has been annual. It has been funded by The Swedish International Development Agency (Sida) since 2007. (The 2004 survey was funded by UNDP and Statistics Sweden was contracted to provide the technical assistance).
The data from the eleven rounds of CSES provide important information about living conditions in Cambodia and have a wide range of uses. Results from CSES are used for monitoring the National Strategic Development Plan (NSDP) and progress towards the Millennium Development Goals. Furthermore, the data are used for developing poverty lines and calculating poverty rates. The CSES data base at NIS is open for research and analysis by external researchers.
Apart from the Cambodia Socio-Economic Survey several other household surveys/censuses have been conducted by the NIS in the last 15 years, i.e. the General Population Census 1998 and 2008, the Agriculture Census 2013 and the Cambodia Demographic and Health Survey (CDHS) 2000, 2005 and 2010. Another CDHS will be conducted in 2014.
The CSES data collection for 2013 was conducted from January 2013 till December 2013. The survey has a sample of 3600 households of which 300 households were interviewed per month.
The analysis, including comments to the results, has been done by the subject matter staff at National Institute of Statistics (NIS) in cooperation with consultants from Statistics Sweden. |
