Vietnam Household Living Standards Survey (VHLSS)
The VHLSS aims to monitor living standards, the effectiveness of government strategy, and socio-economic development goals in Vietnam. The sample size in 2022 included almost 47,000 households from across Vietnam. Household heads, household members, and key commune officials were interviewed. The study was known as the Vietnam Living Standards Survey (VLSS) for the two initial surveys in 1993 and 1998. In 2002, changes were made to the format of the study, and it was renamed as VHLSS. From 2002 to 2010, VHLSS was conducted every two years. Since 2011, VHLSS has been conducted annually.
