  1. Day 3. How to Measure

  2. Purpose of survey • Do we want full information on ownership of all assets within household? Do we need multiple people interviewed to do this? • Do we want to compare men and women? • Do we want to look at comparisons of men and women in the same household?

  3. How many to interview? • One or two people will enumerate most household assets in small households. • If multiple adults in household, may need more people for full enumeration. • For gender analysis, need to interview men and women. • For intrahousehold analysis, need men and women in the same household. • If we want information on some groups, such as widows, may need to find a way to ensure that they are interviewed.

  4. Who to Interview? • One person: household head • One person: person most knowledgeable • Principal couple • One man and one woman • One or two randomly chosen people • Everyone that is relevant for a specific module. Ask each person about their own…

  5. Reconciling Multiple Responses • How to respond when different people within the household provide different and inconsistent information: • 1) Identify rules to reconcile to obtain one measure of ownership for the household. • 2) Use individual level data to understand issues such as empowerment.

  6. Structure of Questionnaire • If multiple people interviewed, need an inventory to ensure no double counting of assets by different people. • Inventory questions may be incorporated into relevant modules, such as housing, agriculture, businesses, etc. • How much information do we want from individual owners? • Even if only one person interviewed, need to be sure that assets are not double counted in different sections.
