Income/Expenditure/Household Survey [hh/ies]
The Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) was implemented for the first time in Serbia in 2013.
The goal of the Survey is to collect data in order to calculate the indicators of poverty, social exclusion and living conditions. The way in which the survey is conducted is of particular importance, knowing that it has been based on the standardized methodology, applied in all EU member states. The Survey is conducted once a year.
The Survey on Income and Living Conditions, introduced as part of the European Union harmonisation efforts, aims to produce data on income distribution, relative poverty by income, living conditions and social exclusion comparable with European Union member states. The study which uses a panel survey method is repeated every year and monitors sample of household members for four years. Every year, the study attempts to obtain two datasets: cross-sectional and panel.
The Income and Living Conditions Survey 2013 has been conducted to provide annual and regular cross-sectional data to answer questions such as:
- How equally is the income in the country distributed and how has it changed as compared to the previous years?
- How many poor people are there in the country and how do they distribute across regions? How has this situation changed as compared to the previous years?
- Who is poor? Has there been a change over time?
- How has this gap between the poor and the rich evolved over time?
- What kind of a change or transition occurs in the incomes of individuals and households? How does the direction of this change depends on characteristics and circumstances, does it decline or grow?
- How is the income distributed across sectors, types of income and household characteristics?
- How do people's living conditions change or improve over time?
- The study also aims to provide panel data to calculate indicators such as persistent income poverty and to measure net changes over time.
The cross-sectional database 2013 is documented here.
