Rationale
1. To fill data-gap in situation of children in urban areas (city corporation slums and non-slums and other smaller urban bodies) of Bangladesh
2. Assess condition of children and women by wealth/socio-economic status of households and other equity stratifies.
3. Assess level of disparities that exist within urban areas and across slums in big cities of the country and identify areas that are lagging behind and are more vulnerable for children.
• Two-stage systematic random sampling : Clusters as first stage and households as the second stage
• Sample size : Total 20,134 HHs were interviewed from 916 cluster. The sample size was estimated based on vaccination coverage among children age 12-23 months
