In continuation to my previous blog, the next series of
survey outcomes are below.
A brief of the survey:
As part of the Sustainably Smart Pune project, we conducted
a household survey in Ghole road ward. The survey was aimed at understanding
how various city services are being used by different income categories of
people. It is important to assess the usage of different city functions/services
by different income categories if you want to make real changes in the quality
of life of those impacted by them.
To get a fair representation of the ward, we selected
samples from 4 income categories of people : HIG (High Income group), MIG
(Middle income group), LIG (low income group) and SLUMs. It was an interview survey where our interns
went to houses and filled the form online/paper.
In this blog, I will be writing on HH
earnings and Occupation of the surveyed group.
4. HOUSEHOLD EARNINGS
HH earning details across the various categories in the surveyed group is shown
below. Large section of people were reluctant to give this data (as shown by no
response bar in the graph).
The number of earning members is 1 or 2 in all the categories, but in HIG, it is predominantly 2, while in SLUM, the families with 1 or 2 earching members is nearly equal. Also, a relatively larger number of families in SLUMs also have 3 earning members compared to the percentage in other categories.
5. OCCUPATION
Occupation was analyzed for the highest earning male and
female member for a HH.
It can be noted from the survey that 53% of the HIG male is into business/ self
employed, 33% is into private service.
For MIG, 35% is into some private service, for LIG self employed is the highest
followed by private service. For Slums, private service and daily wagers are
the highest.
For females, for all the income categories, home maker ranks
first, however in HIG, the proportion of families with women engaged in some kind of gainful employment is higher than that with women being homemakers.
Note: N/A implies no adult male in the family or adult male is not working.
Note: N/A
implies no adult female in the family or adult female is not working
More on housing will be up in the next
blog. Would love to hear from you.
