Summary: | In 2011 the statistical authorities of
Bosnia-Herzegovina collected for the first time a national
survey which allows monitoring the European indicators of
poverty and social exclusion as well as national indicators
of absolute and relative consumption poverty. The Extended
Household Budget Survey (EHBS) adds extra modules to a
standard Household Budget Surveys (HBS) designed to collect
detailed information on household expenditures. The
additional modules covered the information needed to measure
poverty and social exclusion in EU Member states. In this
way, the EHBS represents a hybrid solution between
collecting a HBS and a Survey of Income and Living
Conditions (SILC), the official tool for measuring poverty
and social exclusion in the EU, which omits expenditure
information. The note is structured as follows: section two
presents a detailed description of the data, while section
three discusses the three constituent indicators of AROPE,
and their mutual relation, i.e. their union (the AROPE
indicator) and their intersection. Section four presents
additional dimensions of exclusion on which data have been
collected, especially those relating to children. Section
five presents a comparison of indicators of monetary poverty
and social exclusion. Finally, section six summarizes the
most interesting elements which have emerged from this
analysis and concludes. |
