The Pakistan Social and Living Standards Measurement
Survey is one of the main mechanisms for monitoring the implementation of
the PRSP. It provides a set of district level representative,
population-based estimates of social indicators and their progress under the
PRSP. These include intermediate as well as output measures, which assess
what is being provided by the social sectors enrolment rates in education,
for example. They include a range of outcome measures, which assess the
welfare of the population Immunisation Rate, for example.
An important objective of the PSLM Survey is to try to establish what the
distributional impact of PRSP has been. Policymakers need to know, for
example, whether the poor have benefited from the programme or whether
increased government expenditure on the social sectors has been captured by
the better off
In the remainder of this introduction, a description of the 2004-05 PSLM
Survey is provided. In the following chapters, data relating education,
health, household assets / amenities, immunisation, pre and postnatal care
and satisfaction of services is given.
