Data Source:
The study used the data of household income and consumption expenditures by using
Household Integrated Economic Survey (HIES) which was conducted by the Pakistan Bureau
of Statistics during the year 2013-14 and available on website of
PBS: http://www.pbs.gov.pk/content/microdata. The HIES Survey has been conducted in
Pakistan, with some breaks, since 1963 and questionnaire was revised in 1990 and 1998-99 to
address the issues of data collection methodologies and requirements of new system of national
accounts. The survey was renamed in 2004 as Pakistan Social and Living Standard
Measurement (PSLM) Survey and the module of the HIES which was revised in 1998-99
remain intact. The Pakistan Bureau of Statistics conducted PSLM Survey at district and
national/provincial (HIES) levels on alternative years. The PSLM Survey collects information
from household members about social and economic indicators such as employment,
education, health, housing, income and consumption expenditures etc. to gauge their living
standard. The PSLM/HIES Survey 2013-14 data was collected from 17989 households from
all four provinces of Pakistan (HIES 2013-14 report).
Data Description:
The microdata of 17,975 households used in the study to accommodate missing values. The
distribution of households based on province and region is given in the figure 1.1. The
percentage share of households from KPK, Punjab, Sind and Baluchistan are 19.59, 42.23,
28.95 and 9.23 respectively. The regional share of households from rural and urban are 65.37
and 34.63 percent respectively.

Variables Description:
Table 1.1 gives variables notations and labelling used in the study. The information about food
and non-food expenditures are extracted from the HIES 2013-14 Survey and calculated calorie
consumption using Food Composition Table for Pakistan (Revised 2001) published by
Ministry of Planning and Development, Government of Pakistan, Islamabad. In the next sub-
section, variables explained with the help of descriptive statistics and visualization which will
help to understand regional and provincial differences in calorie consumption in Pakistan.
Data Visualization:
The data visualization helps to understand key characteristics of the variables over province,
region and gender in the study. In this section, bar graph, box plots and scatter plots of variables
under consideration are used to observe their variations individually and by groups.
Household Size (hhsize):
First, data visualization of household size (hhsize) is presented because it will help to
understand variation in other variables such as per capita food and non-food consumption,
calorie and nominal total expenditures per household per month.

Figure 1.2 shows mean and median of household size which is 6.62 in a bar graph whereas
median is 6 which is shown in box plot. The box plot bordered displays 1st quartile (25th
percentiles) and 3rd quartile (75th percentiles) of the household size which are 4 and 8
respectively. The values of household size exceeding the upper and lower adjacent values are
called outside values and displayed as a marker in the box plot.

The bar and box graphs in figure 1.4 show that mean and median of hhsize for Baluchistan is
highest than other provinces, whereas outside values in box plot for KPK are larger than other
provinces because it contains maximum value which is 47.

PCH_CAL Over Gender:
Bar and box plots show that there is a difference between PCH_CAL based on gender of
household head. Those households have higher PCH_CAL which are headed by female than
male based on mean and median standard, but the variation in male headed household is greater
than female headed household. The reason of this difference is that the hhsize of female headed
household is 5.04 which is less than the mean of male headed household 6.79.
