HOUSEHOLD SURVEY RESULTS AND THEIR IMPACTS TO POLICY MAKING (1) • Population estimate • Demographic and socio-economic data on population and households • Consumption expenditures • Poverty analysis and profile • Basic agriculture data 5
HOUSEHOLD SURVEY RESULTS AND THEIR IMPACTS TO POLICY MAKING (2) • Increasing needs for statistical data • General level of usage of statistics for policy and decision making is very low • Reasons for this are on both sides: by the statistical data producers and by the users of the statistics • Agency for Statistics of Bosnia and Herzegovina is trying to increase the statistical production as to extend the overall statistical culture in the country 6
FUTURE STEPS • Extended and more sophisticated analysis of survey data • Work on proper understanding and use of the statistical data • Introduction of new surveys on the basis of EU standards and recommendations (EU-SILC, TUS, ICT, DHS, FSS) • Improvement of the harmonization with EU standards 7
