Scope of Study

The objectives of the 1994 Bicol Multipurpose Survey, which were similar to those of the BICOL MULTIPURPOSE SURVEY (BMS), 1978: [PHILIPPINES] (ICPSR 6878) and the 1983 BMS (ICPSR 6889), were to gather information on income, earnings, mobility, fertility, farm production, and health from the residents of the Bicol Region in the Philippines. Households in the province of Camarines Sur were surveyed, with a primary focus on household characteristics, adult and child health, value and income of assets or properties, expenditures on education and liabilities, income such as cash and in-kind transfers, and income from household members not residing in the household, along with agricultural production of rice and other crops. Information about the barangay (a barangay is a political subdivision equivalent to a village in rural areas and to a neighborhood in urban areas) in which the household was located includes environmental sanitation, availability of community services, and cost for community services or family planning. Data regarding successor households (households where the children had taken over the management and supervision of family assets) were examined, along with intergenerational income mobility data (the impact of parental income and investments on children).

survey data

(1) Data collected in 1978 (ICPSR 6878), 1983 (ICPSR 6889), and 1994 can be used individually or merged together (with the exception of the Medical Practitioner and Extension Worker surveys conducted in 1978) on a unique household identifier found in Part 15 of ICPSR 6878. Data for 1978, 1983, and 1994 can be merged with data for 1981 (ICPSR 6888) at the community level only. (2) Users should note that barangay codes have been scrambled and documentation has been modified to preserve respondent confidentiality. (3) The data collection instruments and codebook are provided as Portable Document Format (PDF) files. The PDF file format was developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated and can be accessed using PDF reader software, such as the Adobe Acrobat Reader. Information on how to obtain a copy of the Acrobat Reader is provided through the ICPSR Website on the Internet. (4) The principal investigator has provided Part 44 to assist users with additional data cleaning of Parts 22 through 27.
