Changes in data releases

Eurostat publishes a new data release on the EU-SILC at least once a year. The new version contains the newly available survey year as well as data for all previously available survey years. It may also contain corrections and/or additions to data from previous survey years.

Data users receive information on the changes between the original database (as defined in the guidelines) and the scientific use files with the data delivery (document “Anonymisation rules” separately for cross-sectional and longitudinal SUFs).

The release version to which the MISSY metadata refers can be identified by the version number and the Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which are displayed in the variable details.

Here you can find the list of EU-SILC microdata releases with DOIs provided by Eurostat.
