22 Family Income and Expenditure This chapter presents statistics on the income and expenditure of households, savings and liabilities, durable goods, etc. Family Income and Expenditure Survey (Fundamental Statistical Survey) The Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES) aims to provide comprehensive data regarding the income and expenditure of households on a monthly basis, and is conducted by the Statistics Bureau, Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. About 9,000 households in 168 municipalities are randomly selected from appropriate households for the survey. The survey unit includes households throughout Japan. The following households are, however, excluded as inappropriate households. a. One-person student households b. Inpatients in hospitals, inmates of reformatory institutions, etc. c. Households which manage restaurants, hotels, boarding houses or dormitories sharing their dwellings d. Households which serve meals to the boarders even though not managing boarding houses as an occupation e. Households with 4 or more living-in employees f. Households whose heads are absent for a long time (three months or more) g. Foreigner households Moreover, regarding the samples, each two-or-more-person household is surveyed for six consecutive months and each one-person household for three consecutive months, and then the sample households are rotated. Consumption Trend Index The consumption trend index is a reference indicator as data for analysis under development by the Statistics Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications that complements the results of Family Income and Expenditure Survey and captures trends in the whole consumption. While absorbing the household consumption index, it estimates the trend of the total amount of average consumption of households and the final consumption expenditure of household in the current month including one-person households. National Survey of Family Income and Expenditure (Fundamental Statistical Survey) This survey is conducted every five years by the Statistics Bureau, Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, and it aims to collect and compile comprehensive regional and nationwide data on household income; expenditure; savings; loans; major durable goods owned by households; and the status of dwellings, houses, and land owned by households. In 2019, the survey was conducted by changing the name of the survey. The sample for the 2014 survey was selected by the method designated by the Minister for Internal Affairs and Communications for all the households in the country, and consisted of two-or-more-person households (51,656 households) and one-person households (4,696 households). Households with two or more members were surveyed for the period of three months from September to November 2014, and one-person households for the period of two months from October to November. Following households were excluded from the target of the survey, because of the difficulty of measuring correctly the income and expenditures as a household.
