Use of administrative sources – social assistance database, Natalya Belonossova (Kazakhstan)

Faced with declining response rates to traditional surveys, budget constraints, and competing data providers, NSOs need to explore other data sources, establish new partnerships, and use statistical modeling techniques. Information will be presented on the work done to integrate the household budget survey with the Digital Family Card - a database for the provision of social assistance of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population. The presentation will show how comparison of data and analysis with HBS, could help to switch to relative poverty indicators based on the median.
