Durable Goods Consumption Durable goods, such as vehicles, refrigerator and Tvs, etc. bought at a single point in time and consumed over several years. Consumption of a durable good should only include the amount of the durable goods that is consumed over the period of reference. However still in HIES in Sri Lanka has not been considering consumption of existing durable goods.
Income likely to be under-reported (forgetting, reluctance to disclose, difficult to measure, etc.). Some parts of income are difficult to observe (for instance, income from informal labor activity, from home agricultural production)
The link between individual welfare and income in not always clear
Monitoring and analysis Having such details will enable proper pre and post analysis and monitoring of social protection programs.
