This publication contains details about the 1998-99 Household Expenditure Survey, including its purpose, content and concepts, and the methods and procedures used to collect and process the data and derive the estimates.
The purpose of the User Guide is to help users of the data to understand the nature of the survey, its potential and its shortcomings in meeting their data needs.
Australian Bureau of Statistics publications draw extensively on information provided freely by individuals, businesses, governments and other organisations. Their continued cooperation is very much appreciated: without it, the wide range of statistics published by the ABS would not be available. Information received by the ABS is treated in strict confidence as required by the Census and Statistics Act 1905.
