Technical Notes The Family Income and Expenditures Survey (FIES) is a nationwide survey of households undertaken every three years by the National Statistics Office. It is the main source of data on family income and expenditures which include among others levels of consumption by item expenditure as well as sources of income in cash and in kind. The results of the FIES provide information on levels of living and disparities in income of Filipino families, as well as their spending patterns. The 2000 FIES was conducted in two major operations as rider to the regular quarterly Labor Force Survey. The first major operation was in July 2000 and gathered data for the period January 1-June 30, 2000. The second operation was in January 2001 which gathered information for the period July 1-December 2000. The survey involves an interview of national sample of about 41,000 households. Since March 1957, the 2000 FIES is the twelfth in the series conducted. |
