HOUSEHOLD INCOME AND EXPENDITURE SURVEY: HIES 2022
Abstract
Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) has completed the seventeenth round of HIES from January to December 2022. In HIES 2022, BBS made significant developments by selecting the quality enumerators, conducting residential training, introducing CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing), improving data collection tools, substantially increasing the number of food and non-food items based on COICOP (Classification of individual consumption by purpose), and implementing continuous monitoring and supervision etc. Therefore, significant measurement enhancements have been reflected in consumption, income and expenditure aggregates. The salient features of the Final Report of the HIES 2022 are as follows: Household Living Standards and Socio-economic Status have Improved The HIES 2022 data finds that household-level access to electricity has increased to 99.3% in 2022 from 75.9% in 2016 and 55.3% in 2010. Similarly, 92.3% of HHs have access to improved toilet facilities, and 96.1% have access to improved source of drinking water. Notably, Bangladesh’s literacy rate (7 years and over) rose significantly to 74.0% in 2022 from 65.6% in 2016 and 57.9% in 2010. Household Monthly Average Income has Increased Significantly The household’s average monthly income has increased in nominal terms to TK. 32,422 in 2022, from Tk. 15,988 in 2016 and TK. 11,479 in 2010. Household Monthly Total Expenditure has Increased The HIES 2022 data reveals that the HH’s monthly total expenditure has increased nominally to TK. 31,500 in 2022 from TK. 15,715 in 2016 and TK. 11,200 in 2010. Consumption Pattern has been Changing Over Time The HIES 2022 data illustrates that the share of food and non-food consumption expenditures in the HHs has changed. Non-food expenditures are increasing gradually. The percentage of food consumption expenditure is 45.8%, and non-food consumption expenditure is 54.2% in 2022, compared to 47.7% for food and 52.3% for non-food in 2016. The average rice consumption per person per day is 328.9 gram in 2022 which was 367.2 gram in 2016, 416.0 gram in 2010, 439.6 gram in 2005 and 458.5 gram in 2000. On the other hand, the vegetables and meat consumptions have increased gradually.
