| Abstract |
The Kiribati 2019–2020 Household Income and Expenditure (HIES) was implemented to collect information on IKiribati HHs, people, families, culture, consumption and livelihoods. It is a multi-purpose survey that was designed to collect fundamental baseline data to report on many national and internationally-recognised indicators (e.g., the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)).
The information collected through the HIES will serve as baseline information to determine the current status against the targets and indicators of the Kiribati Development Plan (2016–2019) and Kiribati 20-year Vision (2016–2036), which will be used to guide policy to ensure the goals of the Kiribati government are achieved.
The information produced from the HIES will be used in the following applications:
i. Macro economic through the collection of information on income and expenditure of I-Kiribati HH and the types of products they buy, produce and exchange. Further, we collect information on the productive activities of I-Kiribati women and men, so that we can understand their participation in the labour market.
ii. Micro economic through the collection of detailed information of consumption and expenditure, which allow us to understand the food security and the welfare status of HH in Kiribati.
iii. Social development through the collection of information across a wide array of themes and sectors, such as gender, education, health, access to improved drinking and sanitary sources, natural disasters, participation in cultural activities and own-account production, and diets and nutrition.
This report is the first official output from the Kiribati 2019–2020 HIES. The objective of the report is to present the main statistical tables on the income and expenditure profile of I-Kiribati HH. |
