Description The first round of the Myanmar Household Welfare Survey (MHWS)–a nationwide phone panel
consisting of 12,100 households–was implemented between December 2021 and February 2022.
The objective of the survey was to collect data on a wide range of household and individual welfare
indicators–including wealth, livelihoods, unemployment, food insecurity, diet quality, health shocks,
and coping strategies–in a country exceptionally hard hit by conflict, severe economic collapse, and
several damaging waves of COVID-19. The respondents interviewed in the MHWS were purposely
selected from a large phone database aimed at being representative at the region/state level and
urban/rural level in Myanmar. A novel sampling strategy in combination with the development of household and population weights allows for estimates that are nationally, regionally, and urban/rural representative.
