COVERAGE RULES

The PES coverage rules are designed to give each person in the population a single chance of selection in the survey by associating each person with one and only one dwelling. The coverage rules are implemented by asking a series of questions in the PES interview. The questions cover topics such as where each person usually lives and whether they will be staying at the PES dwelling on a particular reference night.

Structuring the questionnaire so that each person has a single chance of selection in the PES ensures that data from the sample can produce estimates that are representative of the whole population.
