Summary 

This survey is part of the Rural Economic and Demographic Surveys (REDS) which collected economic, demographic, and village-level information from a nationally representative sample of rural households. In addition to extensive household income and expenditures questionnaires, information was also collected about women's reproductive histories. The reference period for this survey covered the 2005-2006 agricultural season. The 2006 round sampled 9,500 households, including about 8 new households selected in each of the 259 villages.

The REDS surveys continued studying the households that participated in ARIS (Additional Rural Incomes Survey), a panel study sponsored by USAID that collected information from rural households in 1969, 1970, and 1971. Previous waves of REDS took place in 1982 and 1999.
