Description The Household Member Listing (HL) Questionnaire of the Nepal Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (NMICS) 2024 collects basic demographic and social information on all usual members of the household and visitors who stayed in the household the night before the survey. The questionnaire provides the household roster and includes information on age, sex, relationship to the household head, marital status, education, disability status, migration characteristics, and other demographic characteristics. The HL questionnaire serves as the basis for identifying eligible respondents for the Women's, Men's, Under-Five, and Children and Adolescents questionnaires and provides essential information for the calculation of household and population-level indicators.
Abstract The Household Member Listing Questionnaire was designed to collect comprehensive demographic information on all members of selected households participating in the Nepal Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (NMICS) 2024. The questionnaire establishes the household roster and provides key demographic and socioeconomic information used to identify eligible respondents for subsequent survey modules. Data collected through the HL questionnaire support the production of population statistics and the estimation of indicators related to age, sex, education, disability, and household composition.
