Expenditure Aggregates
Household expenditure on food, non-food, housing and other items are collected in several modules of the ASLC household questionnaire. SIZE reports the numbers of household members as identified by MEMB in MEMBER.XXX. Variables on household composition, monthly utility expenditure, monthly expenditure from Section 07A, and weekly amounts summed from Section 7B are contained in the data set EXPEND.
Poverty was defined by comparing household food expenditure with the cost of achieving the caloric requirements suggested by the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection priced at November 1995 prices. The food basket used reflects traditional diet and, therefore, contains more meat than would be included in a minimum cost basket. The price of these caloric requirements are the following: for children 0-6 years 116455 manat; children 7-15 153348 manat; men 16-59 121786 manat; women 16-54 109826 manat; men 60 and older 97662 manat; and women 55 and older 97662 manat. Economies of scale or alternative measures of per capita expenditure can be calculated using ADS15, number of household members age 15 and older, CHS14, number of household members age 0-14, and ADEQ, the OECD adult equivalent scale.
