Northern Ireland Continuous Household Survey
The Continuous Household Survey began
in 1983 and samples approximately 1% of households in Northern Ireland each
year. It is carried out by the Central Survey Unit of the Northern Ireland Statistics
and Research Agency (NISRA) and is designed primarily to meet the information
needs of government departments in Northern Ireland. The survey aims to provide
accurate information, on an ongoing basis, about the social and economic conditions
of the population of Northern Ireland and thus provide a means of examining
relationships between the main variables with which social policy is concerned
and in particular of monitoring changes in these associations over time.
CHS is modelled on, and is similar
in form and content to, the General Household Survey (which is carried out in
Britain by the Office for National Statistics). The main topics covered in this
study include education, employment, family information, adults’ and childrens’
health and housing.
