Series Information
This is the second Living Standards Survey conducted in Tajikistan. The first Living Standards Survey was conducted in 1999.
Abstract
The principal objective of this survey is to collect basic data reflecting the actual living conditions of the population in Tajikistan. These data will then be used for evaluating socio-economic development and formulating policies to improve living conditions. The first assessment of living standards in Tajikistan was conducted in 1999. This assessment is bringing about data in order to update the 1999 assessment. The survey collects information on education, health, employment and other productive activities, demographic characteristics, migration, housing conditions, expenditures and assets. The information gathered is intended to improve economic and social policy in Tajikistan. It should enable decision-makers to:
1) identify target groups for government assistance
2) inform programs of socio-economic development
3) analyse the impact of decisions already made and the current economic conditions on households.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The Tajikistan Living Standards Survey (TLSS) for 2003 was based on a stratified random probability sample, with the sample stratified according to oblast and urban/rural settlements and with the share of each strata in the overall sample being in proportion to its share in the total number of households as recorded in the 2000 Census. The same approach was used in the TLSS 1999 although there were some differences in the sampling. First the share of each strata in the overall sample in 1999 was determined according to 'best estimates', as it was conducted prior to the 2000 Census. Second the TLSS 2003 over-sampled by 40 percent in Dushanbe, 300 percent in rural Gorno-Badakhshan Administrative Oblast (GBAO) and 600 percent in urban GBAO. Third the sample size was increased in 2003 in comparison with 1999 in order to reduce sampling error.
Deviations from the Sample Design
In 2003, the overall sample size was 4,156 households compared with 2,000 households in 1999
Weighting
The weight variable is wgt_nat.
