Starting this Monday, 362 people will tour the country to conduct the National Household Survey (Enaho), a consultation that will visit 13,500 homes to collect data on income and employment, among others indicators.
The study, prepared by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INEC), collects information in the six planning regions of the country, to determine the social and economic reality of the population to allow the assessment and formulation of public policies that benefit the communities in order to improve conditions and quality of life.
Enaho focuses on addressing issues of study such as housing and its services, socio-demographic characteristics, economic activities, employment, insurance and income.
Two special modules will be added this time, one related to household consumption expenditure, and the social transfers module that was studied last year.
The survey has a cost of ยข45 thousand per household, which includes all the previous stages, during and after the field operation, so a special call is made to the population to cooperate with the interviewers. The main results of this survey will be released by the end of October 2017.
By law, INEC will not, under any circumstances, publish individual results. It will only do so in aggregate form to prevent the identification of the source, nor will it provide individual information for fiscal or other non-statistical purposes.
In addition, all staff will always carry their identification badge, which is accompanied by official apparel with the logo of the institution.
In case of doubts, the population is asked to immediately contact the INEC, to corroborate the identity of the officials.
