This updated sampling frame was of great importance because the spatial dis\u00adtribution of the population had changed dramati\u00adcally over the last years and any frame based on the Census 2000 would not be relevant anymore. \nThe design of the survey recognizes three ex\u00adplicit strata: Ulaanbaatar, aimag centers, and soum centers and the countryside. In addition, the sample was implicitly allocated by districts and khoroos in Ulaanbaatar, and by aimags in rural areas. Each aimag center was an explicit sub-stratum. The selection strategy was different in each stratum: a two-stage process in urban areas and a three-stage process in rural areas. In Ulaanbaatar, 360 khesegs were initially selected, from each of which 10 households were chosen. In aimag centers, 12 or 24 bags were initially selected, and then 10 house\u00adholds from each bag. In rural areas, first 52 soums, then 12 bags in each soum and fi\u00adnally 8 households in each bag were selected. All 1,248 primary sampling units or clusters (units, bags or soums) were selected with a probability proportional to their sizes and were randomly allocated into twelve months of survey fieldwork. \nThe use of this sampling procedure means that households living in different areas of the coun\u00adtry have been selected with different probabilities. Therefore, in order to obtain representative sta\u00adtistics for each stratum and for the coun\u00adtry as a whole, it was necessary to use sampling weights. The weight which was assigned to each household corresponds to the inverse of the selection probability and takes the sampling strategy into account. \nThe sample of 11,232 households was allocated as follows: 3,600 in Ulaanbaatar, 2,640 in aimag centers and 4,992 in rural areas and soum centers. However, the actual sample size used for this analysis is slightly smaller: 3,572 households in Ulaanbaatar; 2,639 in aimag centers; and 4,987 in rural areas and small towns. The difference is explained by 60 households, for which complete information was unavailable and were thus, excluded.","coll_mode":["Face-to-face [f2f]"],"research_instrument":"The questionnaire of HSES 2007\/08 contains 15 major mod\u00adules: basic socio-economic information about the members of the household, education, health, re\u00adproductive health, migration, employment, wage jobs, job search, agriculture and herding, non-farm family businesses, other income, savings and loans, housing and energy, durable goods, non\u00adfood expenditures and food consumption. Also contains  4 additional  modules: purchases of food during the past month  for urban  households (by recall ), consumption of food and other frequenty purchased commodities for urban  households (from diary), purchases of food during the part month for rural  households, consumption of food during the past 7 days (by recall ) for rural  households.","sources":[{"name":"","origin":"","characteristics":""}],"coll_situation":"The overall data quality is to be considered of good standard.

On the other hand, three different rounds of consistency checks were applied to the data: first during the data entry process, then during the compilation of the raw data files and finally during the preparation of this report. In all cases it was possible to compare these listings against the actual questionnaires filled out by the households (and at least during the first round of checks, some households were visited again) and the data were amended whenever a mistake was found.Databases for the HSES 2007\/08 have been unified and data error checking was made (by using STATA program) in cooperation with working group."}}},"schematype":"survey"}
