Variable Group: Transfers and Credit

Type	subject
Content	The purpose of the transfers and credit module is to collect information on the resources sent and received by household members, in the form of transfers and loans. This is likely to be an important part of how households cope with illnesses and other adverse events, and also help others in need. The module also collects information about the savings of the respondent. Finally, it asks about transfers within the household - money given to and from the respondent to his/her partner.
Definition	TRANSFERS refers to the sending and receiving of goods or money from one person (or organization) to another. Generally, transfers are not expected to be repaid (the exception to this is the vague notion that if someone gives me money, some time in the future I might be expected to give them an unspecified amount). For example, grown children who have left their parents' home often send money and gifts back to their relatives. They do not expect these transfers to be repaid. When goods are sent or received, we will be interested in the value of the goods - you should ask the respondent to estimate the value, and help them along if necessary (that is, if the respondent received a cow from someone, you should record the value of the cow). CREDIT refers to money or goods that are given or received for temporary use. The giver of the credit is called the lender and the receiver of the credit is called the borrower. Generally, credit must be repaid, and sometimes the borrower must pay interest to the lender.
