Myanmar Household Welfare Survey (MHWS), Round 6

The sixth round of the Myanmar Household Welfare Survey (MHWS)–a nationwide phone panel consisting of 12,898 households–was implemented between August, 2023 and November, 2023. The objective of the survey was to collect data on a wide range of household and individual welfare indicators–including wealth, livelihoods, unemployment, food insecurity, diet quality, health shocks, and coping strategies–in a country exceptionally hard hit by conflict, severe economic collapse, and several damaging waves of COVID-19. The respondents interviewed in the MHWS were purposely selected from a large phone database aimed at being representative at the region/state level and urban/rural level in Myanmar. A novel sampling strategy in combination with the development of household and population weights allows for estimates that are nationally, regionally, and urban/rural representative.缅甸家庭福利调查（Myanmar Household Welfare Survey, MHWS）第六轮是一项覆盖全国的电话追踪调查面板，共纳入12898户家庭，于2023年8月至2023年11月间开展实施。本次调查的目标是，在这个饱受冲突、严重经济崩溃与多轮破坏性新冠疫情重创的国家中，收集涵盖家庭与个人福利多维度指标的数据，包括财富状况、生计来源、失业情况、粮食不安全状况、饮食质量、健康冲击及应对策略等。MHWS的受访对象均从旨在实现缅甸各地区/邦级及城乡层面代表性的大型电话数据库中选取。本次调查采用创新抽样策略，并配套构建了家庭与人口权重体系，使得调查估算结果能够具备全国、区域以及城乡层面的代表性。
