Abstract
Since the last half of the 1950s, the Household Budget Survey (HBS) has been released as a regular annual survey. Up to 1992, the Czechoslovak statistical office in Prague carried out implementation of the survey. From 1993 the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic has been responsible for HBS in the independent Slovak Republic.
The Household Budget Survey provides information about living standards and social situation of private households, especially information on development and structure of their expenditures and incomes. Data is also used to obtain weights for Consumer Price Index and to estimate household expenditure for National Accounts. Following EUROSTAT recommendations for HBS, Classification of Individual Consumption According to Purpose (COICOP) is applied to code expenditure. The recommendations are published in "Household Budget Surveys in the EU: Methodology and recommendations for harmonisation, 2003." For income items, the survey follows Regulation (EC) No 1177/2003 of the European Parliament and the Council concerning community statistics on income and living conditions (EU SILC).
In 2004, the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic introduced stratified random sampling, with monthly exchange of households.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic started applying stratified random sample for Household Budget Surveys in 2004.
Previously, the quota sampling was implemented. Such available information as planned wages and social incomes, planned distribution of consumption goods and services, and lower costs allowed using the quota sampling. But during the nineties the political, economic and social conditions in the Slovak Republic changed. Data, which were applied for the correct definition of sample quota of HBS, had to be estimated to a high degree. This was the reason the sampling technique was changed.
The new sample has the following characteristics:
Sample size - approximately 4,700 households a year;
Sample frame - household file produced from data of Population and Housing Census 2001;
First stratum - administrative regions (in each region the same number of households was selected);
Second stratum - size group of municipality (size group was defined by number of population; in each group households were proportionally selected in relation to proportional division of households in each administrative region);
First stage - in each region municipalities were selected from each size group;
Second stage - in each selected municipality or town, households were selected using systematic random sampling technique.
