  3. 1. Background information (1/2) • Reference source for comparative statistics on income, poverty and social exclusion • Regulatory framework (EC Regulation 1177/2003) • Survey design and data collection organised by National Statistical Institutes • Survey launched in 2003 • 2003: 6 MS (BE, DK, EL, IE, LU, AT) + NO • 2004: 12 MS (6 + ES, FR, IT, PT, FI, SE) + EE, IS and NO • 2005: 25 MS (12 + CZ, DE, CY, LV, LT, HU, MT, NL, PL, SI, SK, UK) + IS and NO • 2007: 27 MS (25 + BG, RO) + IS, NO, CH Session 3: Social inclusion indicatorsand other monitoring frameworks

  4. 1. Background information (2/2) • Interview and register information • Individuals are “followed” for 4 years • Annual data: cross-sectional and longitudinal • Information on both households and individuals • Income and tax; • Material deprivation • Housing • Employment • Health, Education • Quality reports: MS and Eurostat • Accuracy • Comparability • Coherence Session 3: Social inclusion indicatorsand other monitoring frameworks

  6. 3. Specific features of SILC (1/5) • Ex-ante output harmonization • Definition of target concepts/variables to be measured • Minimum requirements (survey design, fieldwork imputation, timeliness, quality reporting, sample size…) • Common guidelines • Standardized output (individual data) • Flexibility in the implementation at national level (design, data source …) • Monitored by Eurostat Common Framework Flexibility Session 3: Social inclusion indicatorsand other monitoring frameworks

  7. 3. Specific features of SILC (2/5) • Minimum sample size • Size of the country • Minimum precision criteria for key indicator Session 3: Social inclusion indicatorsand other monitoring frameworks

  9. 3. Specific features of SILC (4/5) • Survey designs Session 3: Social inclusion indicatorsand other monitoring frameworks

  10. 3. Specific features of SILC (5/5) • Basic concepts and definitions • Reference population: all countries standard definition • Private household: 5 exceptions (DE, ES, IT, AT, UK) • Household membership: 7 exceptions (DE, ES, IT, AT, UK, PT, SI) • Reference period • Income: Fixed reference period & 12 months moving reference period (IE, UK) • Income taxes • Tax reference period • Taxes on wealth Session 3: Social inclusion indicatorsand other monitoring frameworks
