Description The social and economic conditions covered in the Palestinian Households Survey represent one of the most important areas of Palestinian official statistics. The main role of the Palestine Central Bureau of Statistics and statistical agencies is to provide data on the conditions experienced by the community. The responses to this survey are designed to meet the needs of users of statistical data related to social and economic development in Palestine and enhance cooperation between the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the World Food Program (WFP) and the UN Relief Works Agency for Refugees (UNRWA).

Indicators of social, economic and environmental conditions in Palestinian households reflect many aspects of daily life and provide a comprehensive database relating to these areas. These considerations and the importance of obtaining detailed data on the most important social and economic indicators motivated PCBS to conduct surveys on this topic.

The report is divided into three chapters: chapter one presents the main findings of the survey; chapter two discusses the quality and methodology of fieldwork in terms of the questionnaire, sample design, fieldwork operations, and coverage, in addition to data processing and tabulation. Finally, chapter three explains the main concepts and definitions used in the report with brief descriptions.
