The household survey questionnaires were analyzed from the perspective of poverty measurement, including their structure, composition and formulation of questions. The analysis identified questions that are essential for collecting poverty data in each country as well as the differences and commonalities in approaches between the countries and in comparison with international classifications.

The analysis included Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Republic of Moldova, Russian Federation, Tajikistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.

The analysis contains recommendations on how to improve comparability of poverty data among the studied countries in line with international standards.
