The 1995/1996 Household Income, Expenditure - (PDF, 101 mb ...

These are simple examples that define the significance of these tables helping the enumerator and
editor in performing a smooth objective discussion with the household to reach accurate
information about income, expenditure and consumption.
Table (1): Gross annual expenses
*This table represents the gross annual expenses of the surveyed household during the year
ended by the end of the month of the survey, which is distributed to each main and secondary
group of expenses.
In other words, this table is as a summary of tables from (2) to (14).
*This table is clerically prepared after the month of the survey and information of expenses and
consumption are completed with regard to tables from (2) to (14), according to the reference
period determined in relation to each item.
Then, the enumerator will elaborate these tables so as to represent one whole year as follows:
a. If the reference period is I month, then the statement will multiplied by 12
b. If the reference period is 3 months, then the statement will mu1tiplied by 4
c. If the reference period is I year, then the statement will multiplied by 1
In this way, the information in the form will be entirely converted to represent the household's
expenses per year in terms of each object. Information in all tables will be vertically added up
to achieve annual expenses in relation to each main and subsidiary group of expenses; and then
totals derived from tables (2) to (14) are transferred to table (1); and totals in major groups from
(1) to (11) are added up to achieve total consumption expenditure per year; and by adding
transfer payments and installments we will achieve the household's gross annual expenses.
This table consists of 13 main group and 37 secondary groups as follows:
