| Description |
The main purpose of the General Household Survey (GHS) is to measure the level of development and performance of various government programmes and projects. This report specifically aims at providing national indicators on various living conditions such as access to services and facilities, education and health, for 2002. It also draws comparisons between the GHS 2002 results and the Census 2001 results. A multi-stage stratified sample was drawn to run the GHS in 2002. In the initial stages, probability proportional to size principles were applied. The first stage was stratification by province, then by type of area within each province (urban or non-urban). Primary sampling units (PSUs) were then selected within each stratum. The smaller provinces were given a disproportionately large number of PSUs compared to the bigger provinces. Systematic sampling was then applied within each PSU to select 10 dwelling units (including units in hostels), as ultimate sampling units. All households at the selected dwelling units were interviewed. A sample comprised 30 000 dwelling units. Out of these, 1 313 dwelling units were found to be out of scope. Of the valid dwelling units, 3 439 households did not respond and 26 287 responded. There are 4 data files. House data: 26, 243 cases (and records); Person data: 102, 461 cases (and records); Stratum_psu (Stratum and PSU numbers): 2, 972 cases (and records); Worker data: 69, 585 cases (and records).
