Title: Lao Social Indicator Survey 2011-12
Description: The Lao Social Indicator Survey 2011-12 (LSIS 2011-12) is a nation-wide household-based survey of social development indicators. Its field data collection was conducted from October 2011 to February 2012. It aims to produce statistically sound and internationally comparable estimates of a range of indicators. Therefore, LSIS includes water and sanitation, marriage and sexual, fertility, reproductive health, maternal mortality, child health, nutrition, education, child mortality, child development, child protection, HIV/AIDS, and mass media. The survey provides valuable information on the situation of children, women and men in Lao PDR, and was based, in large part, on the need to monitor progress towards the goals and targets emanating from recent international agreements, principally the Millennium Declaration, adopted by all 191 United Nations Member States in September 2000. It can also be used as baseline data for the 7th National Socio Economic Development Plan.
