Abstract

Regulation (EU) 2019/1700 of the European Parliament and the Council establishes a common framework for European statistics relating to persons and households, based on data at individual level collected from samples. The Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) is part of the surveys included in the regulation and refers to the collection of comparable and timely information on the current state and dynamics of income, as well as the level and structure of poverty and social exclusion at national and European level.

The following social areas are included in the methodology of the survey: 

• Basic demographic and other characteristics of the household and its members: number of members, data on each household member (age, gender, education, marital status, economic status, sources of livelihood, etc.).
• Monetary indicators on living standard and social stratification of the population: data on income from different sources (from employment, social transfers, etc.) 
• Non-monetary indicators on living standard: basic data on housing (type and furnishing of the dwelling, etc.); problems associated with the dwelling or neighborhood (living area); access to education; health status and access to healthcare; 
• Economic activity, employment and unemployment of persons aged 16 years or more (employment status, work security, long-term unemployment, etc.)
• Social services or programs and participation of the household or its members in them.

Each year additional data on the household and household members on specific topics is collected, the so-called ad-hoc modules.
