Living Standards Measurement Study [hh/lsms]
Three Living Standards Measurement Study surveys had been conducted in Tajikistan. The first was conducted in 1999, the second in 2003, and the third survey was conducted in 2007. This is the fourth Living Standards Survey and panel with 2007.
The principal focus of the survey is an issue of interest to us all - the welfare level of Tajik individuals and households. The survey data will be used in analyses to determine what proportion of Tajiks are unable to meet their basic needs to enjoy an adequate standard of living and are living in poverty. These studies will also consider what accounts for some households being able to attain and sustain such a standard of living and what might be done to assist those households and individuals now living in poverty to escape poverty. The information collected in the Tajikistan LSS 2009 also will be used in a range of other studies, including examining employment, health, nutritional status, agriculture, as well as better understanding how households respond to changes in the macroeconomic environment. As you will learn, the data collected using the LSS 2009 is particularly rich because it integrates such a wide range of aspects of household and individual characteristics.

Data appraisal
The data from the study can be matched to the data from the Tajikistan LSS of 2007 in the following way. The variables “psuid” and “hhuid” are the variables that need to be used to merge together the LSS 2007 and LSS 2009 data. Variable “hhid” in the LSS 2007 data is unique to the LSS 2007 data and can be used to merge together the data files from the LSS 2007 survey. Variable „HHID” in the LSS 2009 data is unique to the LSS 2009 data and can be used to merge together the data files from the LSS 2009 data.
