	GHANA LIVING STANDARDS SURVEY (ROUND 6)
	The Ghana Living Standards Survey is a nation-wide household survey which provides information in assessing the living condition of the Ghanaian households. The Ghana Living Standards Survey (GLSS) has emerged as one of the most important tools in the welfare monitoring system in the country. Ghana has conducted five rounds of living standards surveys since 1987. The second, third, fourth and fifth rounds, were carried out in 1988, 1991/92, 1998/99 and 2005/06 respectively. The sixth round of GLSS (GLSS-6) which started on 18th October, 2012 is expected to end on 17th September, 2013. The previous rounds of GLSS have always had a specific focus. The GLSS-6 focuses on Labour Force Survey (LFS) module with additional sections on Child Labour and Household Financial Services. It has also been expanded to address more representative sampling and possibly additional indicators pertaining to the northern savannah ecological zone, where a major Government of Ghana initiative on Savannah Accelerated Development (SADA) has just commenced. The GLSS-6, like the previous rounds, would provide regional level indicator. It is also designed to be nationally representative on a quarterly basis to allow the release of quarterly labour force statistics. A total of 18,000 households in 1,200 Enumeration Areas have been selected for the survey. View reports...
