In this report all the variables have also been presented by consumption quintiles. In chapter-2 the main findings of the report are summarised. Chapter 3 explains the concepts and definitions used in the report. After that, twenty five major tables are presented. The methodology for computation of consumption quintiles is explained in Appendix-A.

Developments in HIES

The HIES has been conducted, with some breaks, since 1963.However, in 1990 the HIES questionnaire was revised in order to address the requirements of a new system of national accounts. The four surveys of 1990-91, 1992-93, 1993-94 and 1996-97 were conducted using the revised questionnaire. In 1998-99, the HIES data collection methods and the questionnaire were revised to reflect the integration of HIES with the Pakistan Integrated Household Survey (PIHS). After this the  HIES was conducted as an Integrated Survey with PIHS in 1998-99 and 2001-02.Subsequently the survey was renamed in 2004 as Pakistan Social and Living Standards Measurement (PSLM) Survey and the same module of the HIES remain intact. PSLM, (District Level) Survey and PSLM/ HIES (National/ Provincial level) Survey are conducted on alternating years. Before this Survey five rounds of HIES were conducted during 2004-05, 2005-06, 2007-08, 2010-11 and 2011-12.

The current round of the HIES has been conducted covering 17989 households. It provides important information on household income, savings, liabilities, and consumption expenditure and consumption patterns at national and provincial level with urban/rural breakdown.
