What the CWIQ will not do Not a survey to measure changes in income and expenditure Will not capture seasonality Will not capture the intricacies of intra-household resource allocations Will not explain why ...... It is very easy to oversell the CWIQ, therefore it is important to state what it will not do as well as what it will do. Things that the CWIQ will not do include: Not a survey for recording detailes on income and expenditure. That deands a much heavier survey, but we do need a means of distinguishing between poor and non-poor households. The CWIQ has followed an approach whereby easily measured ‘consumption correlates’ are identified (from a pre-existent integrated survey) and an index is created which allows one to rank households from richest to poorest and from there to group them into ‘poverty quintiles. The Ghana work showed that this method was successfully placing households into the correct group 90% of the time. Will not capture seasonality Will not capture the intricacies of intra-household resource allocations Does not explain why.....
