Description:
Conclusion: "After the beneficiary
baseline survey, KBC found that beneficiaries count a lot on food aid (cash for
curry) as a regular source
of income (for an average of 39,750 MMK per month and per family).
47% of them have no other source of income. However,
39% of the beneficiaries work
to have a permanent
income for an average of monthly income of 65,000 MMK. The other 13% have a more or less regular source of income based on daily work or agricultural labor at some specific period of the year (from 1 to 3 months per
year). In average, they earn 33,600 MMK per month worked. Globally, the households earn in average around 65,000
MMK per month but the median value is more
around 49,000 MMK a month.
Regarding expenditure on food, bigger families do spend more in general in order to cover every members? needs. On average,
one household spends 29,367
MMK a month for food,
which corresponds
to
5,563 MMK per person.
Finally, regarding non-food expenditures, we notice that these expenses remain in majority for basic
needs like health, education,
clothes but also for social events which accounts for the biggest
percentage, and investments. In average, households have spent
58,109 MMK in non-food expenditures
the month before the survey. For 69% of the households, this amount is similar to any other month. For these 69%, an amount of 18,714
MMK was spent for non-food expenditure."
