The Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES) is a field operation which consists of collecting information in the households based on face to face interview.
The questions asked to the households are related to living standard conditions, expenditures, purchases, incomes.... It is the only survey conducted at a national level which deals with households habits in terms of expenditure and income. As the private and public sector, households represent an economic and social actor of the country which needed to be known.
The novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented crisis globally. Under the slowdown in economic activity due to the protective measures enacted by governments around the world, global GDP is expected to contract by 5.2 percent, with per capita incomes in most emerging and developing countries forecast to shrink; potentially pushing many millions into poverty and deepening deprivation. In Papua New Guinea, the socio-economic impacts of these measures are coumpeded by geographic dispersion and isolation, weak institutions and unequal access to services for vulnerable populations.
