Sampling
A stratified two-stage sampling design is used. At the first stage, Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) are selected with probability proportional to size and at the second stage, a fixed number of households is selected from each selected PSU. Prior to 2005, the first stage stratification factors were urban, semi urban and rural geographical locations. The second stage stratification criteria are community, household size and average monthly expenditure of the household. From 1999 to 2003, around 6,500 households were covered each year. In 2004, the sample was increased to 8,640 so that reliable quarterly estimates of labour force, employment and unemployment could be worked out. From 2005 the sample was further increased to 11,280. Furthermore, in order to measure quarterly changes, 50% of the households sampled in a quarter are now re-interviewed in the following quarter.
survey_instrument
The CMPHS questionnaire includes a basic module common to all rounds with a core set of questions which are kept constant and cover (a) general characteristics of the population, and (b) labour force information; and (c) a third module covering new topics, which changes over time.
