Two econometric models are conducted, the first one is a panel data model, used to examine the determinants of household saving; and the second one is a multinomial logit model used to investigate how a household chooses the way to save. Both models are based on the life cycle theory of saving and the permanent income hypothesis. We find that the household head’s age, education and gender are closely related to their saving behavior. And the impact of these variables takes different patterns between the two models. The results are useful for further research in forecasting household savings as well as in micro finance to find a better way of serving people who live in rural areas.

These types of savings are not encouraged in a modern society: While private loans are not protected by laws and that can lead to fraud – in effect this has happened often in the past. Buying gold or foreign currency is a safe channel of saving but it does not contribute the .
