Question 3
The following are 7 closed-ended questions extracted from a
questionnaire investigating drivers of poverty among small
scale farmers. Comment on each question as to whether or not
it is a good question. If it is not, explain why (in under two
lines). (Assume that no skip or screening questions are
required. Judge each question on its own merits).
1. What is the main source of income for your household?
(2)
2. Does your household receive any subsidy from
government and NGO?
3. on a scale of 1 to 10, to what extent do you think the level
of education and age of the household head contribute to
individual household poverty?
4. If the head of the house is engaged in a paying job,
household poverty tends to be lower, right?
5. In your own opinion, do you think idiosyncratic shocks are
the major causes of poverty in your community?
