Household Budget Survey (HBS)
Abstract
The Irish Household Budget Survey (HBS) is a survey of a representative random sample of all private households in the State. It has been undertaken at regular intervals since 1951 and on a five-yearly basis since 1994.
The main purpose of the HBS is to determine in detail the current pattern of household expenditure in order to update the weighting basis of the Consumer Price Index. The maintenance of a detailed diary of household expenditure over a two-week period by the surveyed households is thus the main distinguishing feature of the HBS. In addition, detailed information on all sources of household income is also collected as part of the survey details.
