Description
This manual contains information on the dataset compiled from the Survey of Living
Conditions and Household Budgets (SLC/HBS) conducted in Saint Lucia by the Kairi
Consultants Limited and National Assessment Team between 2005 and 2006. The
SLC/HBS is a sample survey which generates data on households and individuals in the
country.
This manual was developed by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the
Caribbean (ECLAC) – Subregional Headquarters in the Caribbean as a supplementary
document for the Caribbean Household Surveys Database (CHSD). It is sectioned out into
two main parts- section one provides brief description of the survey and section two contains
a concise data dictionary of variables generated from the survey as well as additional
variables created by ECLAC. In addition, for ease of reference, an index of all variables in
the database is included at the end of the document.
