As the European Union grows together we are faced with an increasing number of European surveys and statistics that rely on national instruments or questionnaires. We lack valid instruments with functional equivalence that allow international comparative analysis. This problem is especially important in the case of demographic and socio-economic variables. To overcome these problems this book offers rules of comparison, tested Instruments and examples for the measurements of basic demographic and socio-economic variables. It is mainly written for two groups. First, researchers and practitioners involved in comparative Research in Europe. Second, researchers working with data of the statistical offices of European countries and data from institutions of the European Union. |
