European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions 2005 - Cross-Sectional User Database

Study Type
Other Household Survey
Series Information
The EU-SILC project was launched in 2003 on the basis of a 'gentleman's agreement' in six Member States (Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Luxembourg and Austria), as well as in Norway. The starting date for the EU-SILC instrument was 2004 for the EU-15 (with the exception of Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, which had derogations until 2005), as well as for Estonia, Norway and Iceland. The ten new Member States with the exception of Estonia started in 2005. Implementation in Croatia is being discussed.

The EU-SILC database is a cross-sectional and longitudinal sample survey, coordinated by Eurostat, based on data from the EU member states. EU-SILC provides data on income, poverty, social exclusion and living conditions in the European Union. EU-SILC microdata is gathered by the Member States of the European Union and collated by Eurostat.

Version Description
This is the 5th release of 2005 Cross-Sectional Dataset, as published by Eurostat in August 2009.

EU-SILC microdata are available to researchers carrying out statistical analyses for scientific purposes. These microdata refer both to individuals and households. The datasets are released in the so-called User Database (UDB) twice a year.

The individual data are anonymized by Eurostat in such a way that the statistical units cannot be identified.

Overview
Abstract
EU-SILC has become the EU reference source for comparative statistics on income distribution and social exclusion at European level, particularly in the context of the "Program of Community action to encourage cooperation between Member States to combat social exclusion" and for producing structural indicators on social cohesion for the annual spring report to the European Council. The first priority is to be given to the delivery of comparable, timely and high quality cross-sectional data.

Social exclusion and housing-condition information is collected at household level. Income at a detailed component level is collected at personal level, with some components included in the "Household" section. Labour, education and health observations only apply to persons 16 and older. EU-SILC was established to provide data on structural indicators of social cohesion (at-risk-of-poverty rate, S80/S20 and gender pay gap) and to provide relevant data for the two 'open methods of coordination' in the field of social inclusion and pensions in Europe.

EU-SILC produces two types of datasets:

1) Cross-sectional data pertaining to fixed time periods, with variables on income, poverty, social exclusion and living conditions.

2) Longitudinal data pertaining to individual-level changes over time, observed periodically - usually over four years.

The fifth revision of the 2005 Cross-Sectional User Database (UDB) as released by Eurostat in August 2009 is documented here.
