| Summary: | The seventh round of the Myanmar Household Welfare Survey (MHWS), a nationwide phone panel consisting of 12,800 households, was implemented between April 2024 and June 2024. The objective of the survey was to collect data on a wide range of household and individual welfare indicators including wealth, livelihoods, unemployment, food insecurity, diet quality, health shocks, and coping strategies in a country exceptionally hard hit by conflict, severe economic collapse, and several damaging waves of COVID-19. The respondents interviewed in the MHWS were purposely selected from a large phone database aimed at being representative at the region/state level and urban/rural level in Myanmar. A novel sampling strategy in combination with the development of household and population weights allows for estimates that are nationally, regionally, and urban/rural representative.
