FAMILY EXPENDITURE SURVEY
Results from the Northern Ireland Family Expenditure Survey
(FES) are regularly reported in the PPRU Monitor. FES has been
carried out in Northern Ireland annually since 1967, with a
representative sample of private households selected to take
part. Although it is primarily an expenditure survey,
information is also collected on the characteristics of
responding households and the income of their members. Details
of regular payments are recorded, and an itemised diary of
expenditure covering 14 consecutive days is completed by each
household member aged 16 or over. The Monitor includes details
of household characteristics, average total weekly household
income and expenditure, sources of income, and the average
weekly amount spent on each type of commodity or service.
