Since then the CSES has been conducted in 1996, 1997, 1999 and 2004. Since 2007 NIS conducts the CSES annually. \n\nThe CSES2004 was the fifth survey that was conducted and as a countrywide sample survey of villages and households in Cambodia. CSES2004 was the first survey with a collection of income and receipts, expenditure and consumption of own production in a diary were daily transactions are reported. The sample size in CSES2004 was 1,000 households every month. Since 2007 the Socio-Economic Survey is conducted every year with a sample size of 300 households every month (3,600 household annually). The annual surveys are undertaken as a part of the project, \u201cCapacity Development for Socio-Economic Surveys and Planning\u201d of the Royal Government of Cambodia. This project is supported and financed by Sida (The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency). In 2009 the CSES was similar to CSES 2004 with a sample size of 1,000 households every month (12,000 households on annual basis).\n\nFor 2010 and 2011 the sample size was again brought down to 3,600.

Life expectancy at birth increased\nfrom 52 to 60 years for men and from 56 to 65 years for women, mainly by rapidly\ndeclining infant and child mortality. Material living conditions improved substantially according\nto indicators on housing conditions and possession of durables. The differences in living\nconditions are large between urban and rural areas. The standard of living is better in Phnom\nPenh in almost all respects than in other urban areas, which in turn are better than the rural\nareas.

Accurate statistical information about the living standards of the population and the extent of poverty is an essential instrument to assist the Government in diagnosing the problems, in designing effective policies for reducing poverty and in monitoring and evaluating the progress of poverty reduction. The Millennium Development Goals (MDG) has been adopted by the Royal Government of Cambodia and a National Strategic Development Plan (NSDP) has been developed. The MDGs are also incorporated into the \u201cRectangular Strategy of Cambodia\u201d.\n\nCambodia is still a predominantly rural and agricultural society. The vast majority of the population get their subsistence in households as self-employed in agriculture. The level of living is determined by the household's command over labour and resources for own-production in terms of land and livestock for agricultural activities, equipments and tools for fishing, forestry and construction activities and income-earning activities in the informal and formal sector. The CSES aims to estimate household income and consumption\/expenditure as well as a number of other household and individual characteristics.\n\nThe main objective of the survey is to collect statistical information about living conditions of the Cambodian population and the extent of poverty. The survey can be used for identifying problems and making decisions based on statistical data.\n\nThe main user is the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) as the survey supports monitoring the National Strategic Development Plan (NSDP) by different socio-economic indicators. Other users are university researchers, analysts, international organizations e.g. the World Bank and NGO\u2019s. The World Bank has published a report on poverty profile and social indicators using CSES 2007 data . In this regard, the CSES continues to serve all stakeholders involved as essential instruments in order to assist in diagnosing the problems and designing their most effective policies. The CSES micro data at NIS is available for research and analysis by external researchers after approval by Senior Minister of Planning. The interesting research questions that could be put to the data are many; NIS welcomes new research based on CSES data.\n\nGeneral Objectives:\n\nCSES 2012 will continue the work started through CSES 2004 and the annual CSES 2007 and 2008 and would primarily aim at producing information needed for planning and policy making for reduction of poverty in Cambodia.  Reduction of poverty has been given high priority in Cambodia's National Strategic Development Plan (NSDP 2009-2013). In addition to this, the survey data help in various other ways in developmental planning and policy making in the country. They would also prove useful for the production of National Accounts in Cambodia.\n\nA long-term objective of the entire project is to build national capability in NIS for conducting socio-economic surveys and for utilizing survey data for planning for national development and social welfare.\n\nSpecific Objectives:\n\nAmong specific objectives, the following deserve special mention:\n1) Obtain data on infrastructural facilities in villages, especially facilities for schooling and health care and associated problems.\n2) Obtain data on retail prices of selected food, non-food and medicine items prevailing in the villages. \n3) Collect data on utilization of education, housing and land ownership\n4) Collect data on household assets and outstanding loans.\n5) Collect data on household's construction activities.\n6) Collect information on maternal health, child health\/care. \n7) Collect information on health care seeking and expenditure of the household members related to illness, injury and disability.\n8) Collect information on economic activities including the economic activities for children aged between 5 and 17 years.\n9) Collect information on victimization by the household\n10) Collect information on the presence of the household members.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2012-01-01","end":"2012-12-29","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"Cambodia","abbreviation":"KHM"}],"geog_coverage":"National Phnom Penh \/ Other Urban \/ Other Rural","analysis_unit":"Households\nIndividuals","universe":"All resident households in Cambodia","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"Briefly the CSES rounds have all made it possible to report sets of indicators on 8 main areas of social concern:\n\n1.

In stage one a sample of villages is selected, in stage two an Enumeration Area (EA) is selected from each village selected in stage one, and in stage three a sample of households is selected from each EA selected in stage two. \n\nStage 1: A random sample of PSUs was selected from each stratum.  The sampling method was systematic PPS (PPS=sampling with probability proportional to size). The size measure used was the number of households in the PSU according to the sampling frame.\n \nStage 2. One EA was selected by Simple Random Sampling (SRS), in each village selected in stage 1. \n\nStage 3. In each selected EA a sample of 10 households was selected. The selection of households was done in the field by the supervisors\/interviewers.  All households in selected EAs were listed by the enumerator. The sample of households was then selected from the list by systematic sampling with a random start (the start value controlled by NIS).\n\nFor the details of sample selection please refer to the document \"Process Description: Design and Select the Sample for CSES 2012\"","coll_mode":"Face-to-face [f2f]","research_instrument":"Three different questionnaires or forms were used in the survey:\n\nForm 1: Household listing sheets to be used in the sampling procedure in the enumeration areas.\n\nForm 2: Village questionnaire answered by the village leader about economy and infrastructure, crop production, health, education, retail prices and sales prices of agriculture, employment and wages, and recruitment of children for work outside the village.\n\nForm 3: Household questionnaire with questions for each household member, including modules on migration, education and literacy, housing conditions, crop production, household liabilities, durable goods, construction activities, nutrition, fertility and child care, child feeding and vaccination, health of children, mortality, current economic activity, health and illness, smoking, HIV\/AIDS awareness, and victimization.\n\nThe interviewer is responsible for filling up Form 1 and Form 3 to respondents.  . For Form 2, the supervisors will be asked to canvass this form. In case that the supervisors are absent for any reason, the interviewers may be also asked to help fill up this form (Form 2).","coll_situation":"For the CSES 2012 a new CSES survey sample  and questionnaire design was implemented. The data collection and field work have therefore been monitored closely. especially in the beginning of the year. The changes caused only minor problems in the data collection. The fieldwork operations and logistics have been running very well. A training on sub-national level for all supervisors and enumerators was held in the beginning of the year. The training was paid for by local cost. Now NIS has its own capacity to carry out the out the data collection process, but is financially supported diretly by Sida. The L T As have participated in a few fieldtrips to learn more about the data collection and to check whether the work is carried out as planned. The Subject Matter Staff (SMS) have also participated more in the field work than previous years. As a result, the enumerators' undrstanding of the questions ha improved and at the same time tha SMS has received information about possible questionnaire improvements. All these activities will lead to better quality in the data collection.\n\n\nInterviewers and supervisors were initially divided into teams of five persons (one supervisor and four interviewers), making in total 50 teams for the fieldwork. Each month, 25 teams were working in the field with a workload of 10 households per interviewer. In urban areas, 4 PSUs were allocated to one team while in rural areas, 2 PSUs were allocated. The fieldwork plan was designed in order to gather around 60 households monthly per team.\n\nFor a given month, the team arrived in the village three days before the first day of the month to tend to preparatory tasks like discussing with village authorities, filling out the Household Listing Form, and thereafter sample those households to be interviewed.\n\nThe Village Form was filled out by the supervisor.\n\nThe Household Questionnaire had 16 sections that were filled out by the interviewer during the first visit to the household, and in the following four weeks according to the following scheme:\n\nFIRST VISIT: Initial visit\nWEEK 1: Education and literacy, Housing\nWEEK 2: Household economic activities, Household liabilities, Household income from other sources, and other expenditures (partial non-food recall)\nWEEK 3: Durable goods and other expenses, Construction activities in the past 12 months, Nutrition, Fertility and child care, Mortality\nWEEK 4: Health check of children, Current economic activity, Health, HIV\/AIDS, Victimization\n\nOnce the month ended, the team went back to the NIS headquarters in Phnom Penh.\n\nQuestionnaires from the same PSU was delivered to the Data Management team by the supervisor in a packet including all of the documents used and produced in the fieldwork, including maps, enumeration lists, questionnaires, diaries, etc. Before going to the villages, teams were briefed and introduced to minor adjustments of the interviewing procedure that had to be made as a result of monitoring activities and feed-back from the data processing. \n\nThe fieldwork started in Janury 2010 and was scheduled to end in December 2010. \n\nFifty (50) supervisors and 200 enumerators were recruited by NIS and trained for the fieldwork. The training took place in Phnom Penh and lasted three weeks for supervisors and two weeks for enumerators. Before the start of each fieldwork month, there were briefing and retraining sessions. Each fieldwork team included one supervisor and four enumerators. In urban areas one enumerator was responsible for one PSU and for interviewing 10 households, while in rural areas two enumerators were responsible for one PSU and for interviewing 20 households. In all, 125 enumerators and supervisors, divided into 25 teams, were carrying out the fieldwork at the same time. Two such team groups were formed and each team group alternated monthly.\n\nEnumerator and Supervisor training\n\nInitial training was provided during nine days for a group of 20-30 staff (not all were attending all the time). This training included a translation into Khmer of selected parts of the questionnaire, and a field test in a village outside Phnom Penh where the participants performed test interviews in 16 households. The experiences from this exercise were followed up during the course. The course also included general aspects on survey methodology and ways of controlling for errors. Many of the findings from this training served as input to later stages. \n\nPrior to the start of the fieldwork intensive interviewer and supervisor training was carried out. The 200 interviewers and 50 supervisors recruited were split into two groups, each consisting of 100 interviewers and 25 supervisors. The two groups later alternated so that the first group did their fieldwork during odd survey months (i.e. November, January, March \u2026) while the second group covered the even survey months (i.e. February, April \u2026).\n\nThe training was designed with this in mind. Training of the first group was provided in English by a WB consultant and simultaneously interpreted in Khmer by the appointed NIS officer. The second group was trained by NIS only.\n\nCommon was that the supervisors were first trained during one week, and then jointly with their interviewers for two weeks. Before all fieldwork months the group in turn was gathered at the NIS to walk through the questionnaire and manuals in order to correct errors that were detected during the briefing sessions or the monitoring operations, and to learn how to handle any changes that were introduced to the survey instruments.","act_min":"Any survey of the CSES dimensions needs a comprehensive system for quality management and monitoring. Only then can deviations from the target be tended to in time to avoid shortfalls. Interviewers and supervisors were initially divided into teams of five persons (one supervisor and four interviewers), making in total 50 teams for the fieldwork.\n\nThe CSES management group within NIS therefore set up a meticulous monitoring scheme to be implemented from the very beginning. The monitoring team did include at least five NIS staff. Commonly the DG of NIS has spent one week monthly while other top ranked NIS officers have been out for two weeks on average. At times other officials from NIS or the Ministry have participated.\n\nInspections entailed both announced and unannounced visits. Every team was visited at least twice during their fieldwork periods. The pur\u00adposes of these visits were several. One important purpose was to get a disciplinary effect on supervisors and enumerators from their knowledge that such inspections must be ex\u00adpected throughout the fieldwork month, including also at the very end of the diary month. Also important was to give feedback and encouragement to fieldworkers and to complement training by advice and suggestions and to sort out any problem that had arisen in the course of fieldwork in the village. Another area of concern was to ensure that the household listing and sampling was done in accordance with the procedures that were devised.\n\nIn general, a supervisor is assigned to supervise several enumerators during the field operations.  The major duties and responsibilities of a supervisor in relation to your work as enumerator are the following:\n1.\tYour supervisor is responsible for ensuring that all the enumerators under him\/her do the listing and enumeration work satisfactorily in time.  He\/she plans and organises the work in his\/her area of supervision and sees to it that everything is conducted efficiently and completely.\n2.\tYour supervisor is required to check your work as enumeration proceeds to make sure that you have done your work correctly and have followed the standard procedures laid down by the NIS.  He will check all the questionnaires filled by you. You must show and submit your work to him\/her and report to him\/her the progress of your work and avoid committing the same errors again.\n3.\tAs part of his\/her supervisory functions, your supervisor will visit the enumeration area assigned to you to check that you have completely covered your area in the listing operation. He may observe you when you are interviewing some respondents.  He\/she will also re-interview some of the households you have interviewed to check whether the information you have obtained are valid.\n4.\tThe supervisor may provide to you all necessary field supplies and questionnaires etc.  As soon as you complete the enumeration, you must return all unused supplies and materials to him\/her. Otherwise, you will not be given clearance to collect your final service fee payment at the end of your work.\nThe supervisor serves as a link between you and higher officials of the NIS.  Just as he\/she informs you of the instructions from NIS officials, you must inform him\/her of any problem or difficulty that you experience.   Seek his\/her advice on how to deal with problems in the field as often as needed.  He may help you establish contact with village leaders, commune leaders, and other representatives of the village.\n\nPlease refer to Technical Douments for details.","weight":"Sampling weights were computed for every stage. First stage weights (W1) were assigned to selected villages. With the PPS procedure employed villages were selected with different probabilities. Large villages are over-represented in the sample and, small villages are under-represented. In the calculattion of results (estimates) from the sample it must be ensured that there is compensate for this misrepresentation. The way to do that is to assign sampling weights to the selected villages (PSUs). The over-represented large villages should be down-weighted and the under-represented small villages should be up-weighted.\n\nThe second stage sampling weights W2 are calculated as the number of households in the village (according to the chairman) over the number of sampled households (10).\n\nThe household sampling weights (Wprel) are calculated by multiplying W1 by W2. All the sampled households in the village get the same household weight. These weights were then calibrated.\n\nFor a detailed discussion of the calculation of weights please refer to the document \"Process Description: Design the Estimation Procedure and Calculate Sampling Weights for CSES 2012\".","cleaning_operations":"The NIS team commenced their work of checking and coding and coding in begining of  February after the first month of fieldwork was completed.

The high response rate together with close and systematic fieldwork supervision by the core group members were a major contribution for achieving high quality survey results.","sampling_error_estimates":"In order to provide a basis for assessing the reliability or precision of CSES  estimates, the estimation of the magnitude of sampling error in the survey data were computed.  Since most of the estimates from the survey are in the form of weighted ratios, thus variances for ratio estimates are computed.\n\nThe Coefficients of Variation (CV) on national level estimates are generally below 4 percent. The exception is the CV for total value of assets where there are rather high CVs especially in the urban areas, which should be expected.\n\nThe CVs are somewhat higher in the urban and rural domains but still generally below 7 percent. For the five zones, the average CVs are in the range 5 to 13 percent with a few exceptions where the CVs are above 20 percent. For provinces the CVs for food consumption are 9 percent on average.\n\nThe sample take within Primary Sampling Units (PSU) was set to 10 households per PSU in the CSES 1999. When data on variances became available, it was possible to make crude calculations of the optimal sample take within PSU. Calculations on some of the central estimates in the CSES 1999 show that the design effects in most cases are in the range 1 to 5.\n\nIntra-cluster correlation coefficients have been calculated based on the design effects. These correlation coefficients are somewhat high. The reason is that the characteristics that are measured tend to be concentrated (clustered) within the PSUs. The optimal sample size within PSUs under different assumptions on cost ratios and intra-cluster correlation coefficients was then calculated. The cost ratio is the average cost for adding a village to the sample divided by the average cost of including an extra household in the sample. In the CSES, it was chosen to adopt a fairly low cost ratio due to the fact that the interview time per household is long. Under this assumption the optimal sample size is probably around 10 households per village for many of the CSES indicators."}},"data_access":{"dataset_availability":{"notes":"The main objective of the survey is to collect accurate statistical information about living\nstandards of the population and the extent of poverty as an essential instrument for identifying\nproblems and designing effective policies for reducing poverty, and in evaluating the progress\nof poverty reduction.\nLike the four previous survey rounds six main areas of social concern have been surveyed:\n- Household level and the structure of consumption including poverty and nutrition\n- Household production and cash income\n- Education and access to schooling\n- Health and access to medical care\n- Housing and amenities\n- Family and social relations\n\nThe CSES 2004 was carried out on a nationwide representative sample of 15,000 households\nwithin 900 Primary Sampling Units (PSU) corresponding to 867 villages.
