Study Type
Income/Expenditure/Household Survey Series Information
The 2012 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES 2012) was a nationwide survey of households undertaken by the National Statistics Office. It was the main source of data on family income and expenditures.
From 1957 to 1975, the FIES was conducted every five years. However, in 1985, a new series of FIES (in terms of content and methodology) had begun and the gap of conducting this survey was reduced to three years. Hence, this is the sixteenth FIES since March 1957.

Abstract
The 2012 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES) adopted the 2009 Philippine Classification of Individual Consumption According to Purpose (PCOICOP). The 2009 PCOICOP is the first standard classification of individual consumption expenditure in the country prepared by the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) in collaboration with concerned agencies in the Philippine Statistical System (PSS). The 2009 PCOICOP was patterned after the 1999 Classification of Individual Consumption According to Purpose (COICOP) issued by the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD).
The 2012 FIES is a sample survey designed to provide income and expenditure data for the country and its seventeen (17) regions. These data are the basic sources of information on human development and the basis of the policies and programs of the government to improve the socio-economic conditions of the Filipino people.
The survey was conducted in two separate rounds using separate questionnaires with the same set of questions. The first was conducted in July 2012 and the second was in January 2013. For each round, the reference period was the half-year period preceding the survey.
Kind of Data
Sample survey data [ssd]
Units of Analysis
The reporting unit was the household which implied that the statistics emanating from this survey referred to the characteristics of the population residing in private households. Institutional population is not within the scope of the survey.
For FIES, the concept of family was used. A family consists of the household head, spouse, unmarried children, ever-married children, son-in-law/daughter-in-law, parents of the head/spouse and other relatives who are members of the household.
In addition, two or more persons not related to each other by blood, marriage or adoption are also considered in this survey. However, only the income and expenditure of the member who is considered as the household head are included.
Scope
Notes
The survey gathered income and expenditure data that include, among others, sources of income in cash and in kind and the levels of consumption by item of expenditure.

Coverage
Geographic Coverage
The 2003 Master Sample (MS) considers the country's 17 administrative regions as defined in Executive Orders (EO) 36 and 131 as the sampling domains. A domain is referred to as a subdivision of the country for which estimates with adequate level of precision are generated. It must be noted that while there is demand for data at the provincial level (and to some extent municipal and barangay levels), the provinces were not treated as sampling domains because there are more than 80 provinces which would entail a large resource requirement. Below are the 17 administrative regions of the country:
National Capital Region
Cordillera Administrative Region
Region I - Ilocos
Region II - Cagayan Valley
Region III - Central Luzon
Region IVA - CALABARZON
Region IVB - MIMAROPA
Region V - Bicol
Region VI - Western Visayas
Region VII - Central Visayas
Region VIII - Eastern Visayas
Region IX - Zamboanga Peninsula
Region X - Northern Mindanao
Region XI - Davao
Region XII - SOCCSKSARGEN
Region XIII - Caraga
Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao
Universe
The 2012 FIES has as its target population, all households and members of households nationwide. A household is defined as an aggregate of persons, generally but not necessarily bound by ties of kinship, who live together under the same roof and eat together or share in common the household food. Household membership comprises the head of the household, relatives living with him such as his/her spouse, children, parent, brother/sister, son-in-law/daughter-in-law, grandson/granddaughter and other relatives. Household membership likewise includes boarders, domestic helpers and non-relatives. A person who lives alone is considered a separate household.
