INTRODUCTION A. Objectives of the Survey The 2012 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES) had the following primary objectives: 1) to gather data on family income and family expenditure and related information affecting income and expenditure levels and patterns in the Philippines 2) to determine the sources of income and income distribution, levels of living and spending patterns, and the degree of inequality among families 3) to provide benchmark information to update weights for the estimation of consumer price index and 4) to provide information for the estimation of the country's poverty threshold and incidence. B. Authority for the Survey and Confidentiality of Data The authority for the survey emanates from Commonwealth Act (CA) No. 591, which authorized the National Statistics Office (NSO), under Section 2(d), "to conduct by enumeration, sampling or other methods, for statistical purposes, studies of social and economic problems of the country",. More recently, Executive Order No. 121 otherwise known as the Reorganization Act of the Philippine Statistical System, which was passed on January 30, 1987, declared that the NSO shall be the major statistical agency responsible for generating general purpose statistics and for undertaking such censuses and surveys as may be designated by the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB). Like all other surveys undertaken by the NSO, the data gathered in the 2012 FIES are held STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL. Data are 'Used for statistical purposes only and published in summary forms. As provided for in Section 4 of CA 591, the data will not be used for taxation, investigation or enforcement purposes. 2012 Family Income and Expenditure Survey ix C. Scope and Coverage Data gathered in the survey included sources of income in cash and in kind and the level of consumption by item of expenditure. Related information such as family size, number of family members employed for payor profit (wage/salary or own-account workers), occupation, age and educational attainment of household head, and housing characteristics were also included. The survey involved the interview of a national sample of about 50,000 households deemed sufficient to provide reliable estimates of income and expenditure at the national and regional level. The sample households covered in the survey were the same households interviewed in the July 2012 and January 2013 rounds of the Labor Force Survey (LFS). The reporting unit was the household which implies that the statistics emanating from this survey referred to the characteristics of the population residing in private households. Institutional population is not within the scope of the survey.' For FIES, the concept of family was used. A family consists of the household head, spouse, unmarried children, ever-married children, son-In-law or daughter-in-law, parents of the head or spouse and other relatives who are members of the household. In addition, two or more persons not related to each other by blood, marriage or adoption is also considered in this survey. However, only the income and expenditure of the member who is considered as the household head is included. II. SURVEY DESIGN A. Population Coverage The 2012 FIES has as its target population, all households and members of households nationwide. A household is defined as an aggregate of persons, generally but not necessarily bound by ties of kinship, who live together under the same roof and eat together or share in common the household food. Household membership comprises the head of the househOld, relatives living with him or 'her such as spouse, children, parent, brother or sister, son- or daughfer-in~law, grandson or granddaughter and other relatives. Household membership likewise includes boarders, domestic helpers and non-relatives. A person who lives alone is considered a separate household. Excluded in the target population'are households in the least accessible barangays (LABs). A barangay is classified as LAB if; (a) it requires more ~han eight hours walk from the last vehicle station; or (b) the frequency of transportation IS less than three times a week; or (c) the cost of a one-way trip is more than five hundred pesos. A total of 350 barangays were classified as LABs. This number accounts for only 0.83 percent of the total number of barangays in the country. The total number of households In these areas account for only 0.38 percent of the total number of households. x 2012 Family Income and Expenditure Survey B. Sampling Design The 2012 FIES used the sampling design of the 2003 Master Sample (MS) for household surveys. 1. Domain The 2003 MS considered the country's 17 administrative regions as defined in Executive Orders (EO) 36 and 131 as the sampling domains.
