{{The National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR) has been overwhelmed by the number of job seekers that swammed the Institutes Headquarters (Statistics) in Kigali city.}}
Over 15000 Job applicants had thronged the NISR offices to submit their applications for the–4th Integrated Household Living Conditions Survey (EICV 4).
The NISR only needs 156 candidates to recruit in this job category.
In the Job Advert, the minimum academic qualification for this job category, applicants must have atleast High school diploma (senior Six).
Gashugi Andre an admnistrator at NISR told IGIHE that the Institute was overwhelmed by the extremely huge number of Job applicants.
EICV 4 is expected to provide information on changes in the well-being of the population such as poverty, inequality, employment, living conditions, education, health and housing conditions, household consumption.
Rwanda has already conducted three other Integrated Household Living Conditions Survey (EICV 1,2 3) between 2000 and 2011 where the results have shown that the consumption poverty fell from 58.9 pc in 2000/01 to 56.7 pc in 2005/06 and again to 44.9 pc in 2010/11.
Moreover previous Integrated Household Living Conditions Survey indicate that households that had a heavy reliance on farm wages to generate their income have by far the highest levels of poverty, followed by those working in agriculture on their own account;those more reliant on non-farm self-employment and especially non-farm wage work tend to be much less poor.
EICV ({Enquête Integrale sur les Conditions de Vie des ménages au Rwanda}) is designed to provide vital data such as measure of poverty in monetary terms, as well as collecting a number of non-monetary measures of poverty and well-being.
This survey is conducted every five years. But the fourth will be conducted three years after the third to enable the country to evaluate its endeavor towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
