Full name of the series in original language

Living In Ireland (LII)

Abstract

The LII Survey forms the Irish component of the European Community Household Panel (ECHP): an EU-wide project, coordinated by Eurostat, to conduct harmonised longitudinal surveys dealing the social situation, financial circumstances and living standards of European individuals and households.

The aim of the ECHP is to produce a fully harmonised dataset containing information on the economic, financial and other circumstances of a longitudinal panel of households throughout the Union : the same set of households is interviewed in each year. Therefore, it is possible to study changes in the characteristics and circumstances of particular households or individuals over time. Living in Ireland provides harmonised cross-sectional surveys for each year in which the survey is conducted, as well as longitudinal data, which permits dynamic analysis of changes over time.

The core ECHP questionnaire has remained substantially the same since 1994. Modifications of the Irish Questionnaire have been kept to a minimum, but with some modules added to meet national needs.

The Survey of Income and Living Conditions (SILC) replaced the Living In Ireland (LII) survey since 2003. The last results for the LII related to the reference year 2001.
