Bulgarian Longitudinal Inclusive Society Survey 2013

Countries in Eastern and Southeastern Europe have been particularly affected by the global economic crisis. In response to crisis, governments, donors, and civil society organizations have been cooperating to conduct Crisis Monitoring Surveys that assess social and economic impacts of the crisis on households and individuals. Crisis Monitoring Surveys rely on modules that are specifically tailored to assess household circumstances in a crisis and provide real-time, nationally representative data that can inform policy. In Bulgaria, Crisis Monitoring Survey (CMS) included 3 rounds conducted every 6 months to track the impact of the economic crisis over time. The baseline data was collected during the 1st round in February 2010. The other rounds were fielded in October 2010 and February 2011. The Bulgarian Longitudinal Inclusive Society Survey (BLISS) was conducted in March and April 2013, as a continuation of Crisis Monitoring Survey, with an additional module about the skills of the adult population in Bulgaria.
