MEASURE DHS (demographic and health surveys) phase II

Global program · 2003 to 2008 · 125 documents

This report documents the philosophy, history, and background of the DHS wealth index and describes the methodology employed in its construction and the decisions made about possible variations in the methodology. After discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of using a wealth index as opposed to income and expenditure measures of economic status, a comparison is made between the wealth index and the expenditure index in a particular setting. This comparison shows that the wealth index explains the same or a greater amount of the differences between households on a set of health indicators, even though the wealth index requires far less effort from respondents, interviewers, data processors, and analysts.

Timelineyears: award years, end from document years

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.

Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.

Began during the George W. Bush administration (2001–2009). Based on its first award year, 2003. This places the program in time only; it does not mean that administration started it.
