Family budget survey 2006
Definition
Conducted by INSEE every 5 years or so, the family budget survey aims to study the expenditure and resources of households in France (metropolitan France and overseas departments).
The total sum of the households’ expenditure, and the amount and nature of their expenses, are recorded and broken down within a nomenclature system comprising around 900 budget items (COICOP), compatible with the system of nomenclature used in the national accounts.
The survey also records the resources of households, including individual incomes (wages, independent earned income, etc.) and revenue received by the household taken as a whole (benefits, transfers between households etc.).
The family budget survey is conducted on the basis of a sample of ‘ordinary’ households (in the sense of household surveys) in metropolitan France and the overseas departments.
