Other Household Survey [hh/oth]
The Human Development Indices (HDI) General Household Survey is the first round of HDI survey which was conducted in 2017. HDI was designed by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and implemented by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Nigeria. HDI data were used to compile the Human Development Index; Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index; Gender Inequality Index and the Multidimensional Poverty Index. The Human Development Index (HDI) is a summary measure of achievements in three basic dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, access to knowledge and a decent standard of living. It is the geometric mean of normalized indices for each of the three dimensions.
Human development indicators, generally, provide the basis for quantitative assessment of the achievement of countries in all areas of human endeavour. The Human Development Index (HDI) is a summary measure of human progress. It considers the average achievements in three basic dimensions of human development; a long and healthy life, access to knowledge and a decent standard of living. The
indicators considered in this document are composites of socio-economic factors appropriate for assessing human development achievements in each State of the Federation. Until 2010, HDI was defined as a simple arithmetic average of normalized indices in the dimensions of health, education and income. At the moment, life expectancy (le) remains the only indicator for the health dimension while the indicators for income and education were appropriately replaced.
The Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI) adjusts the Human Development Index (HDI) for inequality in distribution of each dimension across the population. It is based on a distribution-sensitive class of composite indices proposed by Foster, Lopez-Calva, and Szekely (2005), which draws on the Atkinson (1970) family of inequality measures. It is computed as a geometric mean of geometric means, calculated across the population for each dimension separately (Alkire and Foster, 2010). The IHDI accounts for inequalities in HDI dimensions by “discounting” each dimension's average value according to its level of inequality. The IHDI equals the HDI when there is no inequality across people but is less than the HDI as inequality rises. In this sense, the IHDI is the actual level of human development (accounting for this inequality), while the HDI can be viewed as an index of “potential” human development (or the maximum level of HDI) that could be achieved if there was no inequality. The “loss” in potential human development due to inequality is given by the difference between the HDI and the IHDI and can be expressed as a percentage.
The new indices were: Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI), Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), and Gender Inequality Index (GII).
The recently UNDP Nigeria/NBS computed HDI, at state level, shows that Nigeria has an average HDI of 0.521. All the North East states have HDI scores below the national average; ranging from a high of 0.4286 in Taraba to a low of 0.3238 in Bauchi, a figure less than half that of Lagos state at 0.6515, the state with the
highest HDI score (see Annex 2 in the HDR 2018 report for detailed State level HDI computations).

Sampling
The 2017 Human Development Indices Survey generated data on:
• Demographic Characteristics
• General Mortality (i.e. deaths in the last 12 months)
• Maternal Mortality
• Employment History
• Access to water
• Sanitation
• Housing Characteristics
• Information major industries including Cement Companies and Oil Refineries
• Supplementary data from selected MDAs
• Educational attainment among households
• Anthropometry
The survey covered households in both urban and rural areas in all the 36 states of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja using the Enumeration Areas (EAs), which established through the National Integrated Survey of Households (NISH). A total sample 120 Enumeration Areas (EAs) were selected in each of the 36 states, and the FCT. In each EA, a sample of 15 households (HHs) was selected for the study, making a total of 1,800 households per State and a national sample size of 66,600 households.

Survey instrument
The questionnaire for the Human Development Indices (HDI) General Household survey 2017 was a well-structured household based questionnaire. A household questionnaire was administered in each household, which collected various information on Demographic Characteristics, General Mortality (i.e. deaths in the last 12 months), Maternal Mortality, Employment History, Access to water, Sanitation, Housing Characteristics, Information major industries including Cement Companies and Oil Refineries, Supplementary data from selected MDAs, Educational attainment among households, Anthropometry
The questionnaire was developed in English.
The Human Development Indices (HDI) General Household Survey 2017 was a face-2-face interview that went through the following processes
-The use of Computer Assisted Personnel Interviewing (CAPI) method
-The Census and Survey Processing (CSPro) software was used to design the questionnaire and deployed to the tablets
-The process involved the interview and data entry stages being carried out concurrently with the use of CATI.
-Stata was used in the analysis of the MPI component.

The fieldwork was carried out by three (3) teams per state. Each team comprised one (1) Team leader and four (4) Team mate. One (1) female were selected among the team mate to be in charge of anthropometric measurement in the households. The teams conducted interviews using the General Household Mortality and Labour Force questionnaire. The Trainer and State Officer in each states lodged and retrieved MDAs questionnaires.
There was monitoring exercise in all the 36 states and the FCT, Abuja. The monitoring exercise involved the Officers from NBS Headquarters, State Officers and Zonal Controllers. For quality assurance, monitoring exercises were carried out at various stages of the data collection. Senior officers from the NBS Headquarters, NBS State Officers and Zonal Controllers were all involved in the monitoring and coordination of the data collection exercise.
Data collected by the use of Computer Assisted personal Interview (CAPI) were transmitted online to the NBS Data Processing Center in Abuja. All completed paper questionnaires were returned by the monitoring officers to the center for data processing.
Two (2) levels of training were adopted. The first level was the training of trainers (TOT) held at NBS Headquarters, Abuja. The training comprised of 37 trainers/monitors and six coordinators at the zones. In
all, 43 officers were trained at the first level. The training lasted two days. The second level training was held in all the 37 NBS state offices, including Abuja. The trainees at the second level included the interviewers, field supervisors, NBS State Officers and Zonal Controllers. The training also lasted two days.
Data processing
All primary data collected were subjected to data reliability tests to ascertain the quality. Result tables were generated, using the already prepared programs.Data editing took place at a number of stages throughout the processing, including:
a) Data cleaning/editing
b) Structure checking and completeness
c) Structural checking of SPSS data files
Data appraisal
A series of data quality tables and graphs are available in the reports.
