Rural household data collection in developing countries : designing instruments and methods for collecting consumption and expenditure data

This working paper is a practical guide for collecting consumption and expenditure data in household studies in developing countries.

Levin, Carol · 1991

Abstract

The definitions, uses, and conceptual issues associated with rural household consumption and expenditures are briefly explored. The heart of the paper focuses on direct methods for gathering such information, including household records, 30-day list-recall, and 24-hour recall techniques. A section on organizational issues and practical tips using these methods based on real field experiences highlights potential problems that are difficult to foresee before the data collection begins.
