Informal and non-market operations in activity systems

representative survey of Kanak households in the indigenous villages of New Caledonia

Abstract

Measuring informal and non-market activities: a representative survey of Kanak households in the indigenous villages of New Caledonia. In 2011, a survey was conducted to examine the role of agricultural activities (agriculture, breeding, fishing and hunting) in the economies of Kanak households living in such villages in New Caledonia. In total, 1429 domestic groups have been interviewed. The survey focused on the activities performed during 2010 and was representative of the indigenous population at national level as well as in 10 areas within the 3 provinces of New Caledonia. In order to allow people to use them for further analysis, this paper describes the conceptual framework, the nature and the quality of the data.
