The HSES 2007/08 is an improved version of the Household Income and Expenditure Survey (which had been conducted regularly since 1966) and was carried out between July 2007 and June 2008. It is the latest among other household surveys implemented by the NSO to evaluate the living standards of the Mongolian population such as the Assessment of the Living Standards of the Population of Mongolia, 1995; the Living Standards Measurement Survey, 1998; and the Household Income and Expenditure Survey/Living Standards Measurement Survey, 2002/03. The HSES is a permanent survey and every three years it will feature an extended version. This will not only allow monitoring poverty and living standards annually but also to capture additional information in order to help the government to design better policies.
