households do not have a separate set of cloths for outside use. They wear the same cloth when they
are at home and also when they go out. In that case the household do not have cloths for outside use.
F. Agriculture/ Horticulture
F1 to F6. These are straight forward questions and easy to record. If the household cultivated
farmland in last year, record the area of land cultivated on F2 to F6 based on the type of access to the
land.
F7. What did you cultivate last year on farm land? The crops are listed on the first column. If you
find that they have used other crops, please write the name of other crop. All shak should be recorded
under ‘leafy vegetables’. All vegetables that grow over the land should be recorded under ‘non leafy
vegetables’. All vegetables that grow under the soil (potato is not a vegetable) should be recorded
under tubers (e.g. kochu, gajor, shalgom, etc.). All dals should be recorded under Pulses. Roshun,
ada, dhaina should be recorded under spices. All gourds (misti kumra, chal kumra, lau, chichinga,
potol, jhinga) should be recorded under gourds.
F13 and F14. These two questions are for homestead gardens and homestead crops. The classification
of crops is quite similar. All shak should be recorded under ‘leafy vegetables’. All vegetables that
grow over the land should be recorded under ‘non leafy vegetables’. All vegetables that grow under
the soil (potato is not a vegetable) should be recorded under tubers (e.g. kochu, gajor, shalgom, etc.).
All dals should be recorded under Pulses. Roshun, ada, dhaina should be recorded under spices. All
gourds (misti kumra, chal kumra, lau, chichinga, potol, jhinga) should be recorded under gourds.
G. Income & Expenditure
G1 to G4. These questions are related to income. Remember household usually rely on a range of
activities to earn income. Although women may identify themselves as ‘housewife’ but often they
rear poultry and cattle, sell vegetables or fruits from home-garden, sell milk or eggs, make
handicrafts, or may lend out money and earn income from interest. So you have to keep on asking
‘anything else’? until you are completely satisfied that all of the income sources are captured.
Remittances are money that the household receives from family members working in cities, towns
or neighboring villages within Bangladesh as well as the money that comes from family members
living in other countries.
G5. Do you/ other members of your households seasonaly migrate to earn income? If no skip to
question G9.
G7. On average how many weeks in a year do you/ he/ she stay(s) outside of home for work
(during migration)? The answer should be in week. If the answer is less than a week write 1.
G8. What type of problem (s) do you or household members face when you / he/ she migrates to
work. The question allows multiple answers.
G9. How has income in your household changed over the last 3 years? The perception of the
respondent about income change has to be recorded. If the income has increased in 3 years skip to
G11. If there is no change skip to G12. Otherwise ask G10.
