Title: Sampling and Estimation in Household Surveys
Abstract: Publisher Summary A household survey is a particular type of social survey. Household surveys focus on the characteristics of all or some members of the household. These characteristics include a subset of variables, such as health, education, income, expenditure, employment status, and use of various types of services. Because they became common in the 1940s, a number of major trends in household surveys have been evident. Many of these trends are closely linked to technological advances both in statistical agencies and in society and have accelerated following the spread of personal computers in the early 1980s. A good example of simplification is the Canadian Labour Force Survey (LFS), which went from four stages of sampling to two stages and for which the feasibility of using a single-stage design, with an address register as a frame, is being studied. In the United States, the American Community Survey (ACS) also adopted a stratified unclustered design.
