Problem of affluence: Low official survey response rate
government surveys has doubled over the last five years, the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) said Friday.
Highlighting the lack of cooperation from high income households living in gated communities, it said that an ‘income category’-wise analysis of the Household Consumption Expenditure Survey (HCES) data showed that non-responsiveness in the ‘high income’ category of urban areas grew to 11% in HCES 2022–23 from 3.3% in 2011–12. The non-responsiveness among the high-income category in rural areas increased to 3.9% from 1.3% in the same time period.
A rising non-response rate has the potential to reduce the sample size of the government’s surveys and impact the accuracy of the official estimates.
The overall non-responsiveness in the HCES was 9.8% in cities from 2.8% in the 75th round of the National Sample Survey, conducted in 2017-18. It rose to 4.1% in villages from 1.5%.
“People have apprehensions about data anonymisation,” Saurabh Garg, MoSPI secretary at a Brainstorming Session
