  1. Gender jaz u bosanskohercegovačkim prihodimaDevelopment and resultsof a 2009 pilotstudytomeasurepoverty in Bosnia and herzegovina

  2. Starting Point • The Expert Group (EG) for Poverty Measurement in the Western Balkans recommended that, in the short to medium term, the best solution for Western Balkan countries is to conduct expanded Household Budget Surveys in order to allow construction of a consumption-based measure of welfare as well as additional policy-relevant data.

  3. Members The Expert Group consisted of representatives from: • Eurostat unit E4 (current D1, Eur. Cooperation) • Eurostat unit F3 (Living conditions) • INE Spain • ISTAT Italy (in 2007/2008) • World Bank • Consultant of DFID (UK).

  4. The process • Final meeting of the EG in March 2009 and Technical Manual finalised in April. • May 2009, a Working Group for coordinating SI activities. The WG consists of nine staff members from all three SIs: • June 2009 a list of potential data users was prepared and a letter requesting nominations for staff to be involved in the Data Users Group (DUG) was distributed in July 2009. In total, 44 data user institutions nominated staff to be within the DUG and be consulted on the development process

  5. Developing the modules • The Preliminary Module was turned into actual questionnaire format. In addition a few small changes were made to the HBS 2007 Final Interview. No changes to the 14 day diary. The first draft of the Module and the HBS final interview was sent to the DUG for comments in August

  6. Developing the modules • All requests were considered. Due to the extensive requests, the Working Group decided to prepare threemodules in place of the initial single module. • Due to the large sample size of the BiH HBS (the achieved sample in 2007 was approximately 7,000 households) it was agreed that these modules could be rotated (i.e. one module would be administered every three months)

  7. Active Data Users • Dept for Economic Planning BiH • Directorate for European Integration of BiH • Agency for Gender Equality of BiH • Agency for Labour and Employment of BiH • Central Bank of BiH • Federal Ministry of Health • Gender Centre of the Federation of BiH • Federal Employment Bureau • Ministry for Refugees and IDPs of the Govt of Republika Srpska • Investment-Development Bank of Republika Srpska • UNHCR BiH • UNICEF BiH • World Bank

  8. The Pilot • The three modules were piloted in November on a sample of 470 households. Due to the small sample size the pilot survey data is not representative but it did fulfil the purposes of testing the questions and examining the burden on the households when a module is administered in combination with the core HBS questionnaire.

  9. Results from the pilot A detailed report of the pilot results is available on request. • As the modules were added on the end of the final interview the extension did not have a negative impact on the core HBS. The response rate achieved for the pilot (78.7%) was very similar to that achieved for HBS 2007 (80.5%). 

  10. Results from the pilot • Most of the questions on the module worked well and did not cause problems for the interviewer or respondent. In relation to the EG recommendation that "in developing the variables “Eurostat questions” should be utilised where possible" we were particularly keen to investigate if these questions were understood in the Balkan context and produced useful data, and, on the whole, they did.

  11. Results from the pilot • Each module took an additional 30 minutes, added to the one hour of the final interview this did not over burden interviewers or respondents.

  12. Results from the pilot • Non response to the income module was low 8.2% of adults aged 15 and above reported no income at all (5% No Income, 2.8% Don’t Know, 0.4% Refused) • The data received is comparable to other BiH surveys in which income is collected, for example net salary LFS March 2009 675 KM per month Pilot HBS Nov 2009 680 KM per month Enterprise Survey Nov 2009 791 KM per month

  13. Next steps • The EHBS is planned to begin on May 1st 2010 and modules will be added. To enable monitoring of EHBS, EC IPA funds (IPA National Programme 2008 Phase II component) have been allocated. • A conference will take place in BiH in June 2010 to disseminate the EHBS activities.

  14. Next steps Mini workshops with data users will be held from May to December 2010 to bring together representatives from the SIs, DUG members, academics, NGO's to use EHBS data. Each workshop will have a theme (social protection, migration, social exclusion etc.) and an expert will outline what analysis is possible using the new EHBS data run analysis together using common statistical software.

  15. Consultation with NSIs

  16. INSTAT Albania Director mentioned that as next HBS is not likely to take place until 2011 a possible likely place to add module(s) Would be in the LFS due to start September 2010

  17. BiH BiH decided that they need to collect more information on income and living conditions as these are areas which have been lacking data since 2004. The three NSIs of BiH agreed to test an extended HBS (EHBS).

  18. FYROM World Bank’s Country Economist recently spoke to a SSO staff member who confirmed that SSO are not interested in adding SILC-like modules to the HBS or LFS because of implementation of a full SILC survey in 2010.

  19. SORS, Serbia Similarly, SORS stated they had no interest to extend the HBS or LFS as they are preparing to conduct a SILC in 2010

  20. SOK, Kosovo The Technical Report and the BiH pilot modules have been discussed with SOK’s Director but no further action to talk about future activities has been undertaken yet.

  21. MONSTAT Montenegro In meetings with both the LFS and HBS team there was interest in the modules. Both teams felt that module(s) could be added successfully without negatively impacting the core functions of these two surveys.
