DATA COLLECTION DESCRIPTION
FIRST MALAYSIAN FAMILY LIFE SURVEY, 1976-1977 (ICPSR 6170)
SUMMARY: The First Malaysian Family Life Survey, 1976-1977 (MFLS1), was conducted in Peninsular Malaysia as a retrospective life
history survey of 1,262 households containing an ever-married woman
aged 50 or younger. Full life histories were collected through
personal interviews with these women and their husbands regarding
fertility-related events, marriage, employment, migration, income
and wealth, attitudes and expectations with respect to family size
and composition, community characteristics, time allocation, and
transfers of goods, help, and money between the respondents and
others. The survey collected data in three separate rounds held at
four-month intervals. The majority of the survey was administered
in Round 1, while the second and third rounds collected data on new
questions not asked in Round 1 and also updated some of the Round 1
data, most notably the work and pregnancy histories. In October
1981, the individual-level dataset (Part 142)
was
created,
consisting of one fixed-length record per individual per household.
Variables included at both the individual and household levels
provide information on demographics, time allocation, and income
and wealth. Due to
processing
constraints,
most
of
the
retrospective data have been omitted from the individual-level
dataset.
UNIVERSE: Ever-married women aged 50 or younger and
spouses living in Peninsular Malaysia.
their
current
SAMPLING: The sample consisted of 1,262 households in 52 areas in
Peninsular Malaysia containing an ever-married woman (one who had
been married at least once) aged 50 or younger. Forty-nine of the
areas were selected by area probability methods and three were
purposively selected to give additional representation to Indian
families and to families living in fishing communities.
NOTE: (1) This data collection was created by the principal
investigators to replace their hierarchical version, which is not
distributed by ICPSR. This multifile version also contains four
files not included in the hierarchical version: Parts 93 and 94,
Female and Male Recall Test Data, and Parts 92 and 141, Infant
Feeding/Amenorrhea Update Data. In addition, Part 136, Round 3:
MF10MIG1--Male Migration Card 1, Part 137, Round 3: Repunched MF10
Data, and Part 138, Round 3: MF10REV--Revised MF10 Data, contain
updated data not in the hierarchical version. (2) This data
collection can be combined with SECOND MALAYSIAN FAMILY LIFE
SURVEY: 1988 INTERVIEWS (ICPSR 9805) to provide a retrospective
history of the respondents from the 1940s to 1988. (3) At the
request of the principal investigators, it should be noted that
variables V1416R3, V1417R3, V1418R3, and V1419R3 in Part 142,
Individual-Level Data, are not reliable and should be ignored.

PREFACE
This report is me
of a series of publications growing out of a
survey and research project to investigate the influeke of certain
economic and institutional factors cm couples' fertility behavior in
Peninsular Malaysia. The project was funded by the U.S. Agency for
International Development and was conducted by The Rand Corporation
in collaboration with, initially, the Department of Statistics of the
Government of
Malaysia,
and, subsequently. Survey Research Malaysia,
Sdn. Bhd. The purpose of the project was to identify factors within
the range of direct public policy influence that affect birthspacing
and family size, and to estimate the magnitude of statistical relationships between these factors and fertility outcomes.
The data-gathering phase of the study, which is now complete,
has involved the development of field testing of survey instruments;
the training of field personnel; the collection, coding and cleaning
of data; and the preliminary statistical investigation of research
hypotheses. Project output includes the resulting data set, reports
on initial research findings, and materials of methodological and
operational interest to investigators who use the data set or are
involved in similar projects. The Rand reports on this phase of the
study include the following:

The present report contains the survey instruments and field
materials used to collect project data, ss well ss a general descrip1
tion of field procedures. Because the development and inclusion of
questionnaire items have been continually and strictly governed by the
2
seven research hypotheses that guide the content of this study, the
questionnaires themselves are somewhat idiosyncratic. On the one hand.
the research emphasis on the interrelatedness of several areas of household behavior leads to coverage of more aspects of family life than are
usually included in one survey. On the other hand, many questions commonly asked in a single-purpose survey are omitted here, because they
were deemed of less value in testing the hypotheses. In addition, the
instruments are, of course, tailored to Malaysia. In other cultural
and socio-economic settings, many of the codes would have to be adjusted,
and the form and sequencing of several of the questionnaires might not
be appropriate.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
In formulating end testing survey instruments that cover such a
wide range of economic and demographic activities, the authors have
incurred a number of debts. The written materials, mainly survey
instruments from many countries, that we examined and often borrowed
from in early
stages
of questionnaire development are too numerous to
cite individually. Bwever,
they were invaluable in preparing the
detailed outllne of data requirements published in August 1972l and
the set of preliminary questionnaire drafts completed 14 months later.
Many people were generous vith their time end expertise in helping to
develop these draft instruments and Initial survey plans.

Between the completion of our draft questionnaires in October 1973
and the beginning of field development and testing in Malaysia in June
1974, field development of a set of similar instruments was under way
in Rand's cmpanion project in Guatemala. This project was funded by
the Rockefeller Foundation and performed in collaboration Qith the
staff of the Division of Human Development of the Institute for Nutrition in Central America and Panama (INCAP). A great deal of the Guatemalan work on female retrospective surveying turned out to be directly
transferable to the Malaysian setting, and these instruments for the
two countries are quite similar. Other Guatemalan work
was less
directly applicable but provided valuable background for the subsequent
Malaysian efforts. We are grateful to Marta Amanda Barrera, Jean-Pierre
Habicht, Marten D. C. Imnink. Robert E. Klein, Victor Mejia Piveral,
Charles Teller, and Charles Yarbrough of INCAP for their collaboration
on parts of the Guatemalan project that were directly useful in the
project in Malaysia.
Several Rand colleagues-Dennis De Tray, David Greenberg, Joel
Guttman. Deborah Hensler, James P. Smith. John Stein, and Finis Welch-read and suggested improvements in the survey instruments at several
points. Franklin Berger, Henry Corona. John Enns. Kenneth Maurer, and
Kathy van Riesen performed much appreciated research assistance at
various stages of work.
Vasantha K. Kandiah and Shari bin Hj. Abdul R&man of the Demographic Division of the Malaysian Department of Statistics were instrumental in preparation and field testing of the Malaysian instruments
in June through November 1974. During this process, Norma bte. Aris,
Ahmad Yazid bin Ayub, Fatima bte. Abu Bakar, Ng Hong Nuai, Tumian bin
Hj. Hudari, Rabieyah bte. Nat, K. G. R. Nathan, Habans Singh, and Tan
Lan Yee of the Demographic Division, Department of Statistics, and Roe
Goodman and N. T. Mathews, U.N. Advisers in the Department of Statistics,
lent their expertise in various ways.
Near the end of the field testing in October 1974, an advisory
conxmitteemet in Kuala Lumpur to review field-test results and survey
plans to propose modifications. This session produced important suggestions concerning particular questionnaire items and broader matters
ix
of survey design and operation. For their help there and in subsequent communications, we are much indebted to Ramesh Chander, then
Chief Statistician of the Government of Malaysia and Chairman of the
committee; James Anderson, Institute for Medical Research, Kuala Lumpur, and the University of California at Berkeley; Lee Jay Cho, EastWest Population Institute; James Fawcett, Population Council, Singapore; N. T. Mathews, then U.S. Adviser to the Demographic Division,
Malaysian Department of Statistics; Jay Palmore, East-West Population
Institute; and Warren Robinson. then with the Population Council,
Bangkok.
In late 1975 it was decided to put the data collection phase of
the project into the hands of a private survey firm based in Kuala
Lumpur. A subcontract was negotiated between The Rand Corporation
and Survey Research Malaysia, Sdn. Bhd. (SRH). SRM research director
Nyle Spoelstra was responsible for final questionnaire design, sampling,
and data preparation. SRM research director Robert Jones directed interviewer trainfng, instrument testing, and fieldwork control. Miss
Cheong Kee Yu was responsible for setting up a group of executives to
control the field work, the quality control, and the checking and coding of the data. Tan Poh Kheong, assisted by Josephine Martin, managed
editing and cleaning of the data. Fahmi Omar was responsible for
collecting information at the community level, and Lor Chee Keong controlled the project in the field.
Another Advisory Cosmittee meeting was held at Rand in February
1977. The progress of the project to date was reviewed, initial tabulations were presented, and discussions of possibilities for the survey's third round were held. We incorporated a nrrmberof the group's
suggestions in the third round questionnaires and the analysis plan.
For these suggestions, we thank Yoram Ben-Porath, Hebrew University;
Bryan Boulier, Princeton University; David Rolmes, U.S. Agency for
International Development; William McGreevey, Battelle Memorial Institute; Jay Palmore; and Ismail Sirageldin.
Throughout this project, our successive AID monitors--Carl Hemmer,
Duncan Miller, Thomas Hoopengardner, and David Holmes--have been generous with their technical expertise and skillful in handling the required
x
administrative and bureaucratic procedures. We are also indebted to
Robert Muscat, then of AID, for first suggesting to the Rand authors
that Malaysia would be a good setting for this research and for introducing them to Malaysian officials who were subsequently helpful.
James A. Brown, Jr., of AID has continually brought to our attention
related surveys and research, and has advised and encouraged us during difficult periods in development of the project. Without his
efforts this project would not have begun or, having begun, would not
have been completed. We are also indebted to T. Paul Schultz of Yale
University.for stimulating the Rand authors' interest in the issues

INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
This section describes the purpose of the survey, the survey
instruments, and the design and operation of the fieldwork. The
questionnaires are reproduced in Section II.
PURPOSE OF TXE SURVEY
The questionnaires used in the project were designed to provide
data for estimating the magnitude of key economic and biomedical
relationships affecting birthspacing, family size, and breastfeeding
patterns of families in Peninsular Malaysia. The goal was to identify
factors amenable to public policy influence that directly or indirectly
affect fertility outcomes.
Testing our research hypotheses' required data on the following
subjects:
o
Demographic dependent variables
Pregnancy intervals and outcomes
Lengths of lactation
Contraceptive use
o
Primary demographic and biological conditioning factors
Marital status
Spouse separation
Child deaths
Lengths of postpartum amenorrhea
o
Major determinants of opportunity cost of a woman's time
with children
The woman's
time
use in particular activities
Compatibility of these activities with child care
Availability of child-care substitutes

medical services.
SURVEY
INsTRuMRNTs
Nearly all the individualquestionsin the survey instruments are
designed to elicit data cm one or more of the conceptual variables
listed above. The other survey questions fill data needs that cannot
be so briefly summarized. The number of questions and the amomt of
surveying in this study may seem large in relation to the number of
hypotheses and conceptual variables. However, some conceptual variables
such as family income, family wealth, the economic value of children to
parents, and the opportunity cost of women's time with children have
many components that must be separately documented. Other conceptual
variables such as women's and children's time use are subject to considerable seasonal variation as well as substantial recall error when
the reference period is long.
These and other general considerations, along with a variety of
factors specific to the Malaysian setting, led to a longitudinal survey
design consisting of three rounds, four months
apart.
Questions were
clustered into questionnaires more according to the desired respondent
and reference period for each question than to the conceptual similarity
of groups of questions. For example, information necessary to construct
empirical proxies for the economic value of children is drawn from
questionnaires MFl, KF4, MF5, MF7, and MF8, while family income is
derived from information in questionnaires MF2. MF3, MF4, MF5, and
MT6.
Within questionnaires, questions are, of course, sequenced accord-
ing to standard interviewing considerations.
3
The questionnaires were field-tested in different socioeconomic
settings. The first field versions of the instruments were developed
by members of the professional staff of the Census and Demography
Division, Department of Statistics, the Government of Malaysia, in
collaboration with the Rand project leaders. Each questionnaire was
first tested in a controlled environment in the office of the Department of Statistics in Kuala Lmpur and then in both urban and rural
private households around Kuala Lumpur.
Subsequent tests took place in rural Malay fishing villages in
Trenggsnu (on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia), in a west coast
padi area, among urban Chinese and Indian families, and among several
rural Chinese families. Tests were conducted in Malay, English,
Mandarin, Cantonese, and Tamil.
Interview-reinterview checks on reli-
ability and husband-wife comparisons of validity were made at this
stage. This sequence of testing facilitated questionnaire development
in controlled, then semicontrolled. environments, while developing the
instruments in the necessary languages and in forms that did not constitute interviews of excessive length.
Subsequently, extensive modifications were made by Survey Research
Malaysia during the training and final field-testing phases. The need
for these modifications came to light during class practice and trial
interviews, and it was decided to adopt the system of question books
and recording forms presented in Section II below. All instructions
to interviewers were printed in order in the question book, from which
the interviewers read all questions verbatim. This ensured standardization in the wording and order of questions. All survey instruments,
except MFll, the Comaunity Questionnaire, were formatted for keypunching directly from the questionnaire.
Below, we briefly describe the purpose of each questionnaire,
indicating to whom and how often it was administered. This information is summarized in Table 1. The questionnaires are reproduced
in Section II.
5
MFl:
Rousehold Roster
Questionnaire Ml
is administered to the selected ever-married
woman (RMW)l or other adult female household member who has lived with
the household for at least one year. This questionnaire is administered
during the first survey round and repeated during subsequent rounds.
The Household Roster questionnaire records the demographic characteristics of all persons who currently live in the household and of
other persons who lived with the household for at least three of the
last twelve months. This information is used to determine the eligible
respondents for the other questionnaires. In KFl, each resident is
assigned a personal identification number that is used to identify
him or her in other questionnaires and subsequent survey rounds.
The following types of information are collected in MFl:
position of household; relationships amng
can-
household members; number
of months each member resided in the household in the last twelve
months; ethnic crxmnunity;sex. birthdate, age, and marital status
of each household member; literacy (reading and writing ability);
current attendance in school; highest level of schooling completed
by each member; highest school certificate obtained; and basic
characteristics of the last school attended by each member.
MF2:
Female Retrospective
This questionnaire is administered to all selected ever-married
women less than 50 years old.
It is given during the first survey
round and updated during subsequent rounds.
Questionnaire MF2 elicits a life history of pregnancies, lactations, first postpartum menstruations, contraceptive use, marital
status changes, migration. house characteristics and household composition, help with children, and education and training of each
respondent, as well as a work history that includes occupation,
amount of time worked for each job held, and earnings at intervals of
not more than three years. The information in M2
is documented from
age 15, age of first marriage, or age of first pregnancy, whichever
is earliest.
1See p.ll
for information on the respondent selection procedure.
6
The interview procedures for MF2 (and MF3) emphasize crossreferencing dates and respondent ages across events in different life
areas. This technique helps determine the dates of particular events
and facilitates checking the consistency of the life history over time
and across life areas. Such cross-checking during the interview is
greatly aided by the accurate birth registration records kept by
virtually all mothers as part uf the Malaysian vital statistics and
citizen identification systems.
MF3: Male Retrospective
This questionnaire is administered to all present husbands of
selected women less than 50 years o1d.l Like MF2, it is administered
during the first survey round and updated during subsequent rounds.
The Male Retrospective questionnaire elicits a life history. from
age 15 or first marriage (whichever is earliest) to the present,
covering schooling and training, marital status changes, occupations,
earnings, amount of time worked, property owned, and gifts, inheritances, and dowries received.
MF4 and MF5:
Time Budgets
MF4 and MF5 are administered in each survey round to female
respondents and their present husbands, producing documentation
of seasonal variation in time allocation.
For all market and nonmarket activities of interest, including
all jobs, unpaid family work, schooling, training, cottage industry,
housework, and child care (but excluding recreational activities and
sleep), MF4 and MF5 document the number of hours spent at the activity
in the last seven days the activity was performed, the nllmberof
weeks the activity was performed in the last four months, the rate
of pay (if any) in cash and/or kind for the activity, distance from
home to the place of the activity, amount of help received, and
presence of children less than 11 years old while the activity was
being performed. Time use of eligible male and female respondents,
of their children living with them, and of other helpers (paid or
unpaid) is documented.
'If the UlW has no husband or he is not available for interview,
tllcproperty and gifts section is still administered, with the EHIIas
respondent.
4
MF6:
Income and Wealth
Data on income and wealth are collected for each sample house-
hold in M6.
The primary respondent is the male haad of household;
if he is not present or is unable to give complete information on
all categories covered in this questionnaire, other household members
are interviewed. MF6 is administered during each survey round. The
reference period is 12 months in the first round and 4 months in the
latter rounds.
This questionnaire gathers information on all income (except
that covered in MF4 and MF5) received by the household in the reference period, quantities of property and durable goods owned, and
changes in thase components of wealth
in
the reference period. Data
are collected on agricultural production; ownership of animals; businesses owned; services performed; gifts from non-household members
inheritances or dowries received; income from insurance, pensions,
retirement programs, or interest; incosuareceived from renting out
rooms, houses, or land: ownership of land; and possession of durable
goods. In addition, M6
collects information on money borrowed or
interest paid in the reference period and on whether the respondent
or Ns
spouse are covered by the government retirement program (Em-
ployees' Provident Fund [FPF]), have any hind of insurance,
and/or
have had rwney in a bank or savings account in the reference period.
MF7 and MF8:
Attitudes and Expectations
These questionnaires are administered only during the second
survey round to all ever-married womsn less than 50 years old and to
their present husbands.
The Attitudes and Expectations questionnaires elicit information
about ages at which sons and daughters became helpful in various activities, expected occupations and educational attainment of children.
help in cash, goods, and services that respondents have given to their
parents and help they receive or expect to receive from their own
children, other types of expected old-age support, desired family size.
number of respondents' siblings, education and occupation of respondents' parents, and opinions regarding various fertility-related areas.
a
MF9: Networks of Support'
This questionnaire was added to the project in the third round
of the survey. The network questionnaire's purpose is to document
flovs of goods, help end money (including loans) between respondents
in this semple end their relatives, friends and acquaintaixes. The
questionnaire documents the types, amounts and directions of transfers
during the previous 12 months,
end the obligations Incurred beceuse
of the transfers. The questionnaire is administered to the EM%!.
MFlO: Migration1
The purpose of this questionnaire Is to determine the extent of
geographic mobility, and
to
ascertain the causes and consequences of
families' migration. The questionnaire coven all the moves made
the
by
family, and then focuses on the most recent time the respondent
made a complete change of home end workplace. It examlmes the following features of this migration: distance unwed, accompaniment
of femily. reasone for moving, where lived on arrival, economic support received and employment status after moving, prior knovledge of
destination, and return moves back to origin. The questionmire is
administered to the husband in the third round of interviewing.
MFll:
CormnunityQuestionnaire
For each primary qampling unit in the sample, Information is collected
covering schools, family planning cll.nics.job markets, and prices of
relevant commodities. This questionnaire also gives e historical
perspective on epidemi.cs,floods or droughts, job training programs
and public utilities, family planning programs,dud schools. The
questionnaire is administered to a variable number of spokesmen in
each conmnmity, and where necessary, it is supplemented from external
infonnetion 80UrCes. The data were collected throughout the survey
period.

SAMPLE DESIGN
The sample for the study consists of 1262 private households that
each contain at least ens ever-married woman (Le.. one who has been
married at least once, regardless of her present marital status) less
than 50 years of age at the time of the initial visit.
The sample households are contained in 52 areas in Peninsular

ly selected to give additional representation to Indian families and to
families living in ff.shingconmmities.
The geographic areas, called Primary Sampling Units (PSUs). were
selected from a sampling frame which covers the whole land area of
Peninsular Malaysia.2 A PSU contains approximately 220 Dwelling Units
(DUs); a DU is defined as an enclosed private living area which has
3
a separate entrance from a public area.
All Dwelling Units vere recorded on specially drawn maps, addresses
listed, and DUs numbered in a systematic sequence. 2,088 DUs were
selected randomly within the 52 PSUs.
Excluding DUs which were found
to be vacant, locked-up or demolished; those where there was oo evermarried woman, or where she was over 50 years of age; and those that
refused the interview or were for some other reason unsuitable. a

Initially, 50 areas were selected, but one of these areas had
to be dropped because it was then under curfew.

all documents relating to this frame from the Malaysian Government in
1967. Since then, continuous listing and mapping procedures have been
implemented, and the frame has been updated to reflect changes in population and residential development. There are currently 6125 PSUs in
Peninsular Malaysia.
3Thus, flats within a block are each counted as individual dwelling units; likewise, units in a labour line, if each has its separate
entrance.

total of 1,262 households completed round one of the survey.
At the
end of the second round, there were 1.239 completed cases (98% of 1st
round cases) and 1,207 (96% of 1st round cases) at the end of the third
2
and final round.
RESPONDENT SELECTION
A
Dwelling Unit can
be
occupied by two or mote families ot house-
holds, i.e., groups of people who have separate eating and/or cooking
arrangements. It was decided
that
only one ever-married woman (EMW)
vould be interviewed in each Dwelling Unit because of practical problems
inherent in conducting mote than one set of interviews in the same DU,
particularly in terms of loss of rapport with the respondent. Much of
the iufomation collected for the survey is either intimate (e.g., pregnancy outcomes, contraception) or confidential (e.g.. details on the household's income and wealth).
The procedure adopted was to list all ever-married women in the
DU in descending order of age. Each woman was then numbered and a selection made using the serial number of the DU on the Kish grid.. The selected women became the prime respondent, her husband (if available) the
secondary respondent. The Respondent Selection Form is reproduced
in Section III.
FIELD PERSONNEL
SRM recruited and trained twenty-five female interviewers for
this survey. They were recruited from all over Peninsular Malaysia
and were selected on the basis of educational qualifications and aptitude. Over 600 applications were received; 200 women were interviewed;
27 were selected for training and 25 qualified to work on the project.
bf the 2,088 DUs initially selected, 826 were disqualified for
the following reasons: 96 were demolished; 131 were vacant; 46 were
locked-up with repeated callbacks failing to establish contact; 136
had no ever-married woman; 285 had only an ever-married woman older
than 49; 61 refused to cooperate; 55 were rejected for other reasons,
including sickness or insanity of the ever-married woman and unusual
languages that could not be handled; and 14 began round 1 interviewing
but could not complete it.

Rand Corporation, R-2351/3-AID, March 1976.
12
Five of these became office editors end coders once they had received
the full training end some field experience. The team of 20 field
interviewers consisted of 10 Melays, 7 Chinese, end 3 Indians. The
Chinese interviewers were selected for their ability to reed Chinese
and their knowledge of the main Chinese dialects in Malaysia (mainly
Cantonese end Flokkien,but also Teochew, Khek end Manderiti).
The interviewers underwent en intensive six-week
training program.'
after which the questionnaires were translated into the vernacular lengueges end further briefings, class practice, end trial interviews were
carried out.
Iudependent~beck translations were obtained and the in-
struments were finally submitted to full-scale field trials. The
manual given to interviewers explaining interviewing procedures is
reproduced in Section III.
PROJECT CONTROL
The project was controlled by a senior research executive et
SUP
vey Research Malaysia, Sdn. Bhd., under the supervision of two research directors. The project group consisted of four specialist executives. Of these, the research executives' task was
to
supervise
production, involving the arranging of typing, translating, printing,
collating end dispatch of questionnaires end forms. The task also
involved maintaining a daily link with the field. Other general office
adm.lnistrationprocedures came under this area also.
The data processing executive wes in charge of checking, editing,
end coding the questionnaires. He also supervised the punching, verifying end computer editing of the data cards. Finally, he transferred
all data to type for dispatch to The Rend Corporation and rectified
subsequently identified errors.
The fieldwork executive we8 in charge of the three interviewing
teams, which for the most part were operating et some distance apart.
His role we8
to
control logistics, keep to schedules, and ensure that
%h e program covered en introduction to basic interviewing techniques, map reading skills, DU end respondent selection criteria, end
questionnaire recording end checking procedures. Subsequently, the trainees
were briefed on all sections of the questionuaires end began a systematic
program of class observation end practice of interviews.
13
teem compositions were suitable for the language requirements of the
area. He was also responsible for the beck-checking and rectification
of errors identified at the office editing stage. The fieldwork executive was backed up by three field supervisors whose tasks were to organize the IntervIewing on a day-to-day basis, to ass'istthe interviewers
in respondent selection, to help in obtaining cooperation from respondents, to witness end check the interviews, to organize appointments, and
to complete daily records of interviewing. They also maintained the
correct interval between interviews.
The community executive had the task of obtaining information on
the PSUs at the community level. This was collected in the PSUs where
possible; otherwise, it was taken from central files. In the PSUs.
interviews were conducted with personnel from Government hospitals,
clinics, schools, end district offices and with community leaders. Collating the data was difficult because many PSUs are not self-contained
geographical entities -
they may form pert of a conmmnity, or may be
1
made up of several smaller comnunities that are not homogeneous.
The importance of motivating the respondents was not overlooked.
Small gifts of household end toiletry items were presented to respondents on the second end third rounds. In the first round, they were
given a letter of introduction which told about the gift scheme, end
about the general purpose of the survey. The supervisor was responsible
for assisting the interviewers in obta1nix.ga strong rapport with each
household. and all efforts were made to use the same interviewer et
each household in all three rounds.
The fieldwork commenced on 23 August 1976 and finished in August
1977. Editing, coding, punching and checking the data continued until
the end of January 1978.
DATA PREPARATION
In order to check logical consistency across all instruments, the
edit/coding principle was to use the same coder to edit all instruments
1The sample PSUs are described in Fahmi Mar, The Ma2aysim F&zy
Life Survey: Appendix D, Descriptias of Sample Conmnmities, The Rand
Corporation, R-23X/4-AID, March 1978.
14
from one household case.
In the second and third rounds, cross checks
were made with the previous instruments for consistency and completeness.
1
A full codebook was drawn up for each instrument.
Punching was
subjected to 100% verification, and computer programs were developed
by SRM in
Kuala
Lumpur for logic and range checks and for sequence checks.
After corrections and a final sequence check, the data were transferred
to tape for dispatch to The Rand Corporation. Additional data checks,
many involving cross-card and cross-questionnaire comparisons, were made
at Rand. SRM then corrected errors and discrepancies.

II. QUESTION LISTS AND RECORDING
FORMS
This section contains the English version of the question lists
and recording form used in the survey.1 During the interviews, the
interviewer had the question list and the recording iorm to which it
applied before her at the same time. The questions were read to the
respondent, and the answers were recorded on the form in the appropriate spaces.
This section is divided into four subsections. the first three
giving questionnaires from the three survey rounds and the fourth
presenting the Community Informant questionnaire, which
was
adminis-
tered throughout the survey period. Within each of the first three
subsections, the Question List is followed by the Recording Form.
Some of the actual Recording Forms were in flip-page format to facilitate use in the field. In these cases, a figure shows how the pages
were actually assembled.
1
R&ples
of question lists in Malay, Chinese and Tamil appear
at the end of this section on pp. 247-251.
In some questionnaires with many subsections, both the question
list and recording forms for these subsections were color-coded to
facilitate matching. For example, both the question list and recording
form for the farming subsection of MF6 were green while the pages pertaining to non-farm business were yellow.

In the briefing and in this manual, we have tried to give you
instructions on what to do in most circumstances.. You must
obey these instructions.
If you think a question is‘un-
necessary or ambiguous, then tell us.

A set of record forms, MFl-MP6
3.
bItsa fO,X!Jsfor parts Of m2,

m3,
and m6
a pencil sharpener
Before leaving base to start an interview, always be sure you
have all of your equipment.
YOUR QUESTION BOOKS
2.
Your question books have been designed and tested to be
complete and self contained.
Your main job is to ask -all of
the questions in the book, following the words given. Please
do not skip any question or part of a question.
Everything is
asked for a vary specific reason.
3.
As nearly as humanly possible, your question book has been
arranged to tell you exactly what to do for every type of
answer you will obtain.
a.
The question you are to ask is given in lower
c*se letters.
b.
Your instructions are given in CAPITAL LETTERS.
C.
If your instructions are UNDERLINED, it means you
are to check the circumstances of your case in
order to identify the appropriate question to ask.
d.
Note the system of sets of questions being
indented under the prevailing instruction.
If
there is no instruction, you simply ask the next
question on the list.
263
YOUR RECORD FORMS
4.
Printed Forms
““““““““““““”
You must use e new set of record forms for each case or household you are assigned to interview.
A number has been printed
on each set of record forms to correspond to the address of
the household assigned to you.
5.
Please do not use a record form from a different household.
6.
If you need extra copies of part of the record form, your
supervisor will give you ones without a number.
You must write
the case number on all extra blank forms that you use.
7.
Calculation Sheets
“““““““““““““““““”
At some houses you will need to make extra notes or calculations.
Use your MFLS Interview Notepad for this.
Always write the case
number on each of these sheets and staple the sheets to the back
of the printed record form.
a.
Do not worry if the calculation sheets are messy; staple all
onto the record form.
We need them to edit and code your case.
If we don’t have them, you will have to go back to the
respondent and ask the information again.
YOUR MANNER AND YOUR MANNERS
9.
Each of you understands that the selected respondent is helping
us by participating in this study.
Each household has been
carefully selected to represent a certain part of Malaysian
society.
It is very important that each selected household be
willing to participate in the survey and to complete all 3
rounds.
Every family which does not cooperate subtracts from
the representativeness
of the study.
264
10.
Co-operation depends almost completely on you -- how well you
can explain the purpose of the survey, and how able you are to
make the interview a pleasant and interesting experience for
the respondents.
11.
At the same time you must obtain complete and accurate infor.
mation on the questions you will ask.
12.
It is not an easy job to keep the cooperation of the respondent
and at the same time to obtain all of the information required.
All of the following points are cornon sense and some are very
~important pasts of interviewing technique:
*
Always be polite
*
Remember to thank the respondent for the interview
*
Remember you are a guest in the house: be
careful not to leave pencil shavings or rubber
scraps or pieces of paper
*
Do not ‘push or press’ the respondent on answers
to questions.
That is, when you receive an
answer that seems impossible or one that is
inconsistent with a previous answer, &
c~larifications
seek
-- be sure the respondent under-
stands the questions you are asking.
If you
are sure the respondent still has misunderstood
the ~question, or that the response is obviously
inconsistent with what you already know, then
probe once to try to clear up the inconsistency.
If the respondent sticks to the original answer.
then record it, note the inconsistency in
‘observations’ and go on to the next question.
265
*
Do not challenge or appear to threaten the
respondent.
*
Try not to talk down to a respondent; adjust
your language if you need to.
*
Do not let the respondent feel or think that
you think he/she is stupid or not truthful.
*
Do treat each respondent as if his case is the
most interesting and important that you have
ever interviewed, because in fact, that is the
truth.
13.
Remember about confidentiality.
Never reveal anything that
one respondent has told you to another.
In the case of
this survey, it is vitally important that this rule is kept
within the case.
Also you must resist the temptation to
‘help’ the respondent by saying, “Well, your husband said . ..”
or to ‘correct ’ the respondent by saying, ‘oh, but your husband
said he did + of that activity.’
14.
The pages that follow are the notes on interviewing technique
that were issued to you at the beginning of briefing.

NOTES ON INTERVIEWING TECHNIQUE
FOR MALAYSIAN FAMILY LIFE SURVEY (SRM 9338)
The respondent's first reaction to the request for an interview
is likely to be a mixture of curiosity and suspicion.
Therefore
the first impression made by the interviewer is of the Utmost
importance.
Naturally, the first thing the respondent notices about the
Aim for simplicity and comfort;
interviewer is her appearance.
a simple suit or dress is best.
The next thing the respondent focuses on is what you say and the
way in which you say it.
The ultimate success of the interview will often depend on a
good introduction to create a rapport with respondent to get
her/him to cooperate in giving the needed information.
Always remember the ‘rapport’
is your goal.
Rapport is the term
used to describe the personal relationship of confidence and
understanding between the interviewer and the respondent.
The
respondent's impression of you during your introduction, and the
manner in which you adapt yourself to the situation from the
respondent's point of view, determines considerably the rapport
that will develop.
5
267
A requisite to good rapport is that the respondent knows where
she/he stands in the interview.
The interview is actually a
new situation for most people, and when it begins, the
respondent doesn't know what is expected of her/him nor how far
she/he can safely go on expressing her/his opinions.
Obviously
a respondent will react more favourably and openly in a
situation she/he understands and accepts.
The respondent must
understand, for example, that the interview is confidential and
important, that the interviewer is a friendly person ready
to
listen, that she/he can discuss the interview topics in detail,
etc.
Following are some pointers on this introduction:
*
Tell the respondent who you are and whom you
represent.
Introduce yourself by name,
saying that you are an employee of Survey
Research Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., a research
organisation which does nationwide studies on
topics of national importance.
You will
usually show your identification card at this
point to support your stateme‘nts.
*
Tell the respondent what you are doing and
explain in a way to stimulate her/his interest.
1 THE APPROACH TECHNIQUE
1
Make the knock or ring loud, but not long or aggressive.
Step back from the door if possible.
268
Opening remarks should always be pleasant, persuasive, and
sincere.
Doorstep introductions should be brief.
There are usually two
stages in the typical introductory situation:
*
The first occurs at the door when you first
make contact with the people in the dwelling
unit.
*
The second stage OCCUTS when you are inside
the house and are able to talk more easily
than on the doorstep.
The doorstep is not a very convenient place to carry on a
conversation and to establish a friendly relationship.
For this
reeson, the doorstep introduction usually should be brief, just
sufficient to get you inside the house.
Once inside, you are in
a better position to convince the person of the value of her/his
cooperation.
It is easier for the respondent to say “No, thank
you” on the doorstep than it is in her/his living room.
At the doorstep the interviewer should not ask questions to gain
permission
for the interview but should suggest the course of
action she desires.
For instance, instead of asking,
“May I come in7” . .. to which a respondent could
easily say “No”
s*y, “I would like to come in and talk with you
about this “”
Other examples of questions to avoid are,
“AR you busy now?”
(“Yes, I am.“)
“Could I take this interview now?”
(“No,not now.“)
“Should I come back?”
(“Yes, come back later.“)
Questions which permit negative responses can Lead the respondent
into refusing to be interviewed.
7
269
The interviewer should assume the respondent is not too busy, and
should approach her meeting with the respondent as though the
interview is going to take place right then, at the time of
contact.
By all means, make arrangements to return at a more
convenient time if the respondent suggests this, but accept this
situation only at the respondent's instigation.
Suggest it your-
self only as a Last resort when you want to- Leave the door open
for another try at a time when the respondent might be more
willing to be interviewed.
ANSWERING THE RESPONDENT'S QUESTIONS
Most people will go right through an interview without asking you
any questions.
Some will ask for information during the intro-
duction, or after you've started the interview.
However, you
should always be ready to answer the respondent's questions as they
come up.
Some of the questions respondents might'ask are:
"How did you happen to pick me7"
"I don't see why I should answer.
why don't you
go next door?"
"What's all this about, anyway?"
"Why are you doings this survey?"
"How did you happen to pick me?"
Tell how the respondent was chosen.
be understood.
Sampling probably will -not
It is important that the respondent understands
she/he is part of a "cross section" survey, and that she/he is
chosen quite impersonally only because she/he happens to be a
particular person at a particular address.
You may say something
like this:
"YOU see, in trying to find out what people in
the country think, we don't talk with everyone,
but we try to talk to men and women of different
ages in all walks of life.
8
270
We start by selecting certain towns from all
over the country.
In each of these areas,
we select smaller areas such as blocks, and
finally a selection of specific addresses is
Tnen when the interviews from all these
made.
addresses are combined, we have a cross section
of the people."
"I don't see why I should answer.
Why don't you go next doorl"
This is tricky, since there is no obligation for anyone to
answer.
Say that other local people have co-operated (wave some
completed questionnaires) and use the opinion leader or
representative flattery.
"What's all this about, anyway?"
"Why are you doing this survey?"
Tell the respondent what you are doing.
Also mention that the
respondent's answers are confidential; neither she/he nor her/
his address will be identified in any way.
1 THE TECHNIQUE OF ASKING QUESTIONS
(
Words should be carefully and correctly emphasized.
Never speak too quickly or with slurred inflections.
Always raise the voice slightly at the end to indicate that it is
a question.
Memorize the questions if possible, and ask them while looking at
the informant - but do not trust memory too much.
Ask the questions exactly as written on the questionnaire (these

1 TIPS ON RECORDING RESPONSES
1
When starting the interview, try to find a place where you will
be able to write comfortably.
Just in case
a table
is not avail-
able, always carry a folder or pad that you can use for a hardwriting surface.
when the respondent starts to talk, begin to write immediately.
This will help you record verbatim and minimize the time the
respondent has to wait for the next question.
Always be polite - the respondent is doing you a favour,
Close even the most hostile interview with grace and politeness.
Never lose your temper - the hostility may be passing end another
interviewer may be coming up behind (imagine the position might
be reversed on another occasion!)
Always carry your SRM identification card - this will calm the
suspicious.
Never accept “Don’t know” the first time.
answer can mean any number of things.
*
The “I don’t know”
For instance:
The respondent doesn’t understand the question
and answers “Don’t know” to avoid saying she/
he doesn’t understand.
*
The respondent is thinking the question over,
and says “don’t know” to fill the silence but
to give herself/himself time to think too.
*
The respondent may be trying to evade r.he issue
because she/he feels she/he is uninformed or
may give the wrong answer or because the question
strikes her/him as too personal, and so on.
Once the last question has been asked make a quick check to see
that nothing has been omitted - if necessary apologize and ask
any questions that have been omitted.
Terminate the interview politely.
Any questions or doubts the
respondent might have about the interview should be cleared
up
before you Leave.

Section B
DEFINITIONS
I ~____
1.
OF INCOME AND EARNINGS
MFZ, MF3, KF4, MF5 and parts of MF6 deal with income and
earnings of respondents and/or household members.
2.
The definitions of income and earnings are to be the same for
all questionnaires; the only differences are that the time
periods are different for certain questionnaires:
*
W2
and 3 refer to a certain date or period
of a person's life;
3.
*
MF4 and 5 refer to the past 4 months;
*
ME'6 refers to the past 12 months.
We need to know about two types of income/earnings: in cash and
in kind.
What you should include under each type of income
depends on the type of work the respondent/HH member does.
a)
Rnployee, working for someone else, for wages
or salary, either pert-time or full-time
(Codes 1 and 2)
*
You must ask both about earnings in cash
and earnings in kind.
*
Ye want to know earnings before any
government type deductions.
main items are taxes and EPF.
The two
If the
respondent tells you about other
deductions, note them down and the
amount under "observations".
*
Cash earnings is simply the amount the
person receives in money, which he can
spend any way he wents to.

273
In-kind payments are things a person
cannot spend directly, but must use.
FOT
example, if the employee receives housing
or food or meals, he must live in the house
or eat the meals to receive the benefit.
Bonuses era usually cash, but can be in
kind too.
Our rule is always record ~11
bonuses in the ‘in-kind’ columns.
Remember to ask about and to record payments
for overtime work and/or seles commissions
as income/earnings.
Rnployees at higher levels in a company may
receive profit-shares or dividends from time
to time in addition to bonuses.
payments under ‘observations’:
Note these
the type, the
amount end the frequency.
Money the respondent receives to reimburse
directly his business expenses should not be
included as income in cash or kind.
If the
respondent has to turn in receipts for hotels
or meals or petrol, etc., and then is paid
beck, that is a reimbursal, not income.
General allowances are counted es earnings/
income.
For example, if e person receives a
$10 cash meal allowance each week, that is
to be recorded es cash income (because he does
not have to spend the money on food).
Also, a
$50 a month housing allowance should be
recorded es cash because the respondent does
not have to spend the money on a house.
12
*
But if the respondent is given a house, or
if the company agrees to pay part or all of
his rent for a particular house, then that
is to be recorded as income in kind.
Record
the value of the rent on the house that the
employer pays.
*
Some respondents may have medical plans,
insurance or other “fringe benefits” in their
not part of
In general, these are income in cash or in kind (because you ate
jobs.
paid medical benefits only if you get sick).
But if the employer pays the premiums on
insurance which is in the employee’s own name,
then count the value of the premium es income
in kind.
*
A
paid holiday (i.e. air ticket plus hotel
bills, etc.)
b)
is en in-kind payment.
Earnings from self-employment, own business, own
account work (Code 3)
*
By earnings, we mean the amount of money a
person has left to spend after he has paid
all his expenses.
--
For example, if a taxi-drives collects
fares (receipts) of $60 a day, but has
to spend $20 to rent the taxi and $0 for
petrol, then his net earnings are $32
%
__
($60-$28).
A coffee shop owner has total sales Of
$8,000 e month, but his expenses of
running the shop are $7,100 a month, so
his (net) earnings are $900 a month.
*
Record net earnings before any deductions such
as taxes due or EPF contributions.
13
275
*
A person can have in-kind earnings from
self-employment/own eccount work too, so
this must also be recorded.
*
Some self-employed/own account workers,
especially if they are in business partnership with some one else, may take a
certain amount of money “out of the business”
each month, end then share the remaining
profit with their partners at the end of the

out regularly under cash earnings, end the
profit share under “observations”: give
details as to amount, frequency and type of
earnings/income.
C)
Worker in family business (Code 4)
*
The worker in a family business is not the
head (the head is Code 3 or 5) but rather
someone who still depends on the family for
living expenses (food, housing, clothes, etc.)
*
For workers in family business, record only
the amount of cash they receive.
Do _

write down anything for income in kind.

For example, the son may say he gets $10

This is
for cash earnings/

d)
Employer -- hiring workers, paying wages (Code 5)
*
An employer has his own business and must
hire workers for pay, even though he may
also
have workers from his owe family/
household.

of the points under (a) above for
employees also apply.
For
employers who
receive a basic salary be sure to check
for any dividends/profit share they may
receive.
e)
Record the share under ‘observations’.
Home industry products or services for sale (Code 6)
*
This section includes activities done at
home (to sell) by one or a few household
members, such es batik-making, washing and
ironing, dressmaking etc.
Home industry is
different from self-employment/own account
work in that home industry.
--
does not have hired (paid) workers;
--
does not have e separate place of
business, such es a shop or office
or fartory;
--
usually would not have very much
equipment or use very much materiels
(e.g. laundry or dressmaking).
*
If the activity does have paid workers, or a
separate place where the work is done or sold,
then record the activity as self-employment/
own account work.
*
The rules for recording income in cash end in
kind from home industry products or services
for sale are the same as for self employment/
own account msk
(see (b) above).
15
277
f)
Home industry products (or services) for Own use
(Code 7)
*
This category is for home industry activities
which are not sold, but Sre used only in the
household.
Examples are
-_
‘Green Book’ vegetable gardens
.
--
Fruit trees
__
Raising animals and obtaining animal
products
-_
Sewing end making clothes for household members, etc.
*
Do not include under this category activities
already listed on the blue pages of MF4.
*
The value of home industry products/services
for own use is the estimated market value if
the household were-to sell the products
instead of to use them et home.
Host people
will know whet price they could sell vegetables/
fruit/eggs/milk for.
If they do not know, then
ask end record the value of the home industry

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
5.
Uuring the interview avoid the phrase “Do you remember” end
instead ask concrete questions like “Could you tell me” or “I
would like to know . ..‘I. Do not suggest answers to the respondent.
Sometimes it is necessary to amplify a question to help a women
understand it; do so without suggesting a particular answer, e.g..
“Then, do you have just one child or are there morel"
ado not
ask questions that lead the woman to expect that she ten answer in
general form, such es “About when did you begin this job?, “but
ask, “In what month did you begin this job?”
6.
If the respondent offers information about the event of a life
area other than the one currently being discussed, note this under
“observations” end make “se of it later, if needed, when the
relevant life area is being discussed.
7.
This does not mean that you should not make references across life
areas.
Oo the contrary, it is very important that you take every
opportunity to relate one event currently being discussed to the
other events that took place around the same time in the warnan’s
life.
a.
Whenever an event is recorded, the age of the woman et the time(s)
the event took place is recorded alongside the year in the age
column.
For every event, there is both en age and date reference.
Record all ages in Western years.

certain date,
To determine a woman’s age et
check her birthdate and see whether or not she had
already passed her birthday in the year in question.
9.
If the respondent does not know the exact month en event occurred,
ask her whether it wes in the early, middle, or late part of the
year (probe in terms of other events, e.g., holidays).
If she can
tell you this, use code 13 (early), 14 (middle), or 15 (late) in
that column if she cannot tell you this, use code 99 (don’t know).
24
286
10.
Whenever the respondent is unsure about a date, you should search
the portion of the questionnaire form so far completed for other
events that took place at times close to the one being discussed.
You should then make the connections for the respondent between
the event currently being discussed end the event.in another life
area that happened in the same year or in a year close to the one
For example, “Then you began that job about two
being discussed.
years after your second child, Fatima, was born.”
This technique
is especially useful for p-robing when the respondent is uncertain
about a date, e.g., “Was that before or after you moved to KL?”
It may be helpful for you to relate the date to the date of en
importenteventin
that area, e.g., Merdeka, floods, emergency, the
Japanese Occupation, elections, holidays, etc.
11.
When the respondent is unsure about how long something lasted
(e.g. pregnancy or breastfeeding). first obtain some estimate from
her.
Then say “You think it was about six months - would you say
it was less than six months, more than six months or was it
exactly six monthsl” If she says it was less, then ask “Would it
have been five months or less than five months?” and so on.

Section G
) -)Ip4- FEMALE TIME BULIGET 1
1.
The purpose of this questionnaire
is to gather informetion on how
household members allocated their time among certain productive
activities end on help received dth
certain activities during
the four months preceding the day of the interview.
Ye are not
interested in all the nay; people have spent their time, only in
the amount of time spent on activities
which will bring in income,
or reduce the amount that they have to spend.
In other words, we
want to know about activities which in some way effect the income
and wealth of the household.
2.
The EMW is to give information for each member of the household
apart from her husband.
This means that there must be at lesst
one TOW entry for each person.
there should be 9
3.
It does not mean, though, that
one TOW entry for each person.
The sucxess of this questionnaire
is in your hands.
You will
have to use your skill to discover activities which the respondent
may not think about immedistely, or which she may think we’re not
interested in.
You should look around the house and outside the
house for indications of activities to probe for.
34
297
Ql-3
4.
The questions are about activities which have been going on during
the past 4 months.
The activity may have started years earlier.
For example, on ‘growing fruits and vegetables’ we want to know
whether they are having fruits and vegetables which are grown at
home.
The fruit tree may have been planted’s
long time ago by
someone else; we want to know what fruits the household is having
from that tree.
5.
Do not make assumptions.
A woman who is a housewife could be
attending a training course.
A child who is at school could be
having a part-time job, or be working in a business.
96
6.
If necessary, you should explain to the respondent that although
some of the information has already been collected in our earlier
(a)-(j)
questionn,aire, we need to know precisely about the activities
during the past 4 months.
Encourage her to think very carefully
about this period, and do not simply copy the information from
MF2.

Section H
KF5 - MALE TIME BULGE7
PURPOSE
1.
The purpose of this questionnaire is to gather precise information on how the EMU’s husband spent his time during the past
4 months.
We are interested in activities which bring in money
or goods for the household or which save the household from
spending money -out.
2.
As with MF4, you may have to explain in your own words why we
need him to give us information, some of which he has already
given in M3.
Use your skill to avoid asking him what might
appear to be a stupid question, but do noe simply copy the
answers from MF3.
3.
For example, if you know he has a job as a clerk, then you will
start Ql by asking “Apart from your job as a clerk, during the
past 4 months have you had any other job, including any part-time
jobs?” and so on.
4.
As with MF4, use your powers of observation to see what activities
are going on around the house, and probe about these if necessary.
5.
Ensure when you get on to MF6 that any information given in MF3
and in this questionnairearechecked
in MF6.
For example if he
tells you that he rears chickens, the ‘Small Animals’ section
should show this.
Similarly if in MF6 you find that he has some
fruits or some animals, you will need to go back to this questionnaire (MF5) to record .&tails about these.
When this happens,
make a note under observations that the information was not
discovered until, MF6.

Section I
.
MP6 - INCOME AND WEALTH
PURPOSE
1.
The purpose of this questionnaire is to collect information
to
be used in estimating the level of family income and the amount
of family wealth.
Questionnaire MF6 consists of a series of
of questions about
different-types of income and wealth.
sets
Usually only some, rather than all, of the sets are asked of any
one respondent.
2.
The desired respondent for this questionnaire is the husband of the
chosen ever-married woman aged 50 or less.
If the primary female
respondent is not currently married or her husband is not present,
then this questionnaire should be administered to her.
3.
It is important for each category of wealth or income to repeat
the phrases, "In the last 12 months" and "or a member of your
household".
4.
If there was income or wealth received during the last 12 months
but perhaps not received during the last 8. 9 or 10 months
(i.e. received 11 months ago), it is still of interest in this
questionnaire.
Similarly, if another member of the respondent's
household received income or held wealth of the type asked about
in this questionnaire during the last 12 months, it is important
also to record the income, even though it was not received
directly by the respondent.
37

SPECIFIC INSTBUCTIONS
Sumnary
5.
Ensure that you ask each surmnary question first for the
respondent, then for other members of the household.
In
the 'observations' section of this page, you should note
down details of the response, e.g. what are the crops he
is growing or who is the other household member. This is
to help you (and the respondent) Kernember what was said
when you get to that particular section.
6.
Take care to emphasise (as in the Time Budgets) that we
want to know about the items the household is having
during the past 12 months, not just about the items they
actually acquired, planted or started to grow in that
period.
7.
Use your skill to explain to the respondent that even
though he has already told us about some of the items, we
need to know more details to record in MF6.
Possessions
8.
The question refers to items that the household is having
For example, if they have a
TV set which they bought in 1973, you should code a '1'
in ~01. 10.
9.
For each item that they were having at any time during the
past 12 months, you must ask how many they have now and
whether they have acquired or disposed of any during the
past 12 months.
38
Farming
10.
In cases where the family has a few fruit trees or a few
heads of cabbage, for example, do not enter these crops
in the table if the respondent indicates that their value
(either sold and/or consumed) was less than $50 in the
last 12 months.
When in doubt about whether a particular
crop should be included in the table, ask the respondent
its value in the last 12 months.
If there are small crops
of this sort that are not entered in the table, note their
existence in the "observations" section.
If you can combine
fruits or vegetables to make a total value of $50 or more,
then use these as one row entry.
Write under observations
which items are combined and the individual value of each
one.
11.
If different types of vegetables or fruits are grown
simultaneously on the same piece of land, all of these may
be entered in one row of the table under the term "Fruits"
or "Vegetables".
The code designation is "Other fruits" or
"Other vegetables".
On the other hand, each type of fruit
that is grown by itself, that is, on one piece of land
without another crop being grown at the same time on the
same piece of land. should be listed separately.
Q7
12.
If there is inter-cropping, you should make separate row
entries for each crop, e.g. rubber and soya beans.
In these
cases. questions 2 to 12 must be asked for each row entry.
13.
Irrigation is considered to be any use of water on crops
other than natural rainfall.
This includes watering with
hose or bucket and diverting water from a well, lake, or
stream onto crops.
This also includes participation

the source used for the
longest period during the year, but record the total time
that the land was irrigated from any source apart from

39
302
Q8
14.
Record whether the seed was improved, that is, a hybrid or
other variety bought from a supplier, or whether it was
regular seed or seedlings, that is, seed or seedlings
simply saved from a previous harvest, either from this farmer
or from another farmer.
If you are not sure which code to
enter, write under "observations" the source of the seed that
the farmer used and where he thinks the seed came from.
Q13-23
15.
For padi, it may be necessary to ask questions 13-23 twice or
three times according to how many harvests there have been
429-30
16.
These questions require you and the respondent to work out
totals.
In the PROMPT, we have given examples of the sort of
expenses the respondent should consider.
Read the question
slowly, then go through each expense item slowly, asking him
if he has to pay that item and if so how much he pays.
Use
the observations to write down each item, his expenses on
that item, and the time unit.
Then review these with him,
checking whether there are any other expenses not yet
mentioned.
When you are satisfied that they are all there,
add them up, check the total with the respondent and record
it.
Ensure that the office can see from your notes what the
items me,
and that we can check your calculations.
Farm Animals
17.
Question 1 is for large animals, question 2 for small animals.
Question 3 asks about produce from all animals - large and
small.
18.
Note that there is a special Cover Sheet for this section
which gives you instructions on using different sets of
record forms if there are separate units.
For example, if
the household runs a pig farm, you must fill in details about
the pigs on a pink sheet -and on a non-farm business sheet.
If the household also has a few chickens or ducks which are
not kept as a business, you fill in a pink sheet, but you do
not fill in a business record for this.
40
303
Q2
19.
If the household owns small animals at the time of interview,
you record how many they own of each type and how
many they owned 12 months ago (i.e. in the same month last
year).
If they have owned small animals during the past
12 months, but have none at the present time, record zero
in ~01s. 12-15 and in ~01s. 16-19 record the largest
number they owned at any one time in the past 12 months.
You also must ask how many they owned 12 months ago (i.e.
in the same month last year).
Q3
20.
Use a separate line for each type of produce they obtained
e.g.
ChickenS eggs
Duck eggs
Cow's milk
Cow dung
21.
The value of home consumption or of sales is for the past
12 months.
Non-Farm
Business
22.
Note that you must make separate records for each business
which is run separately - either by the same household member
or by a different household member.
23.
Use the spaces on the cover sheet to record who gave you the
information - indicate which information was given by which
respondent.
24.
As
with farm business, you must assist the respondent by
noting down his expenses on each item, then adding them up
when you are satisfied that he has told you about all his
expenses.
Qb(d)
25.
Note that the earnings are for the business as a whole.
If
he is in a partnership,for example, we want to know the
earnings for the partnership.
41
304
26.
Remember rhat earnings are the total revenue of the business
minus the costs of operating.
Land 6
Buildings
27.
Note again that we are asking about land and buildings that
the respondent or a member of the household is having during
the past 12 months, not just about land and buildings
acquired in the period.
28.
If the respondent or a member of the household has rented out
any of the land or property he owns, the rental is recorded
on these blue pages.
The pink page rentals are for land
and property that are not owned.
Gifts/
Payments1
Returns/
Rentals
29.
Note that the gifts are from non-household members.
include children who have left home.
This can
Again we are looking
for gifts which are meaningful to the respondent.
30.
After completing the record of an item for one household
member, check whether a similar item was received by another
household member, even if this was not mentioned when you
asked the sumnary questions.
Borrowings 6
Loans
31.
Question 1 is for money borrowed fi to the household,
Question 2 is for money loaned out from the household.
32.
Remember that it is possible to borrow money in order to
lend it out to someone else.
In such a case, make the entry
for a borrowing and a loan.
33.
Hire purchase or purchase by instalments is a way of borrowing
money.
Usually it is necessary to pay a deposit.
For
CLWipl.2, if the respondent buys a car on hire purchase by
depositing $3,000 and paying the remainder off in instalments,
he has borrowed $7,000.
have to pay.)
(Do not add on the interest he will
If he has to borrow $3,000 to pay the deposit
then he has had two borrowings, one of $3,000 and one of
$7,000.
These must be entered on separate rows and coded
appropriately.
You should explain the details under
observations.
42
34.
We know that respondents do not like to admit they have
borrowed money.
Make cross-checks by asking them if they
borrowed money to buy any of the possessions they have
(MF6) or any of the property they on.’
A mortgage which
was taken out to buy a house some years ago should be
entered if the respondent is still making repayments or
p*ying interest.
Insurance &
Expenditure
95.
Use your Interview Notes to record as many details as
possible about the insurance policies and about any
unusual large expenditure.
36.
Do not record any insurance held by other members of the
household but not by the PIW or her husband.
General Note
37.
Each type of income received by the household should be
listed once and only once in W6.
Note under “observations”
if you think some type of income or wealth has been missed
(e.g., you may learn in the retrospective questionnaire,
KF3 that the respondent owns property, and yet he has not
mentioned this or HF6).
Also note
if you think some type
of income or wealth has been counted twice.
For example,
a dowry of animals should be listed in the animals section
and not in the gifts section.
