Study: EU-SILC 2009

Titles

Title European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions 2009

Abstract

EU-SILC 2009 contains the 2009 Module on material deprivation. The 2009 Module consists on thirty variables to be asked at household level (six of them optional) and seven variables to be asked at personal level.

The 2009 module variables relate to three different types of units:
1. Household: The variables relating to housing, the environment, financial stress and durables (except possession of mobile phones) are asked at household level and refer to the household as a whole.
2. Individual: Information on the possession of a mobile phone, basic needs, unmet needs as well as leisure and social activities in the category "adult items" must be provided for each current household member, or, if applicable, for all selected respondents, aged 16 and over.
3. Child: Children's items relate to all household members aged under 16 to be compatible with the data collection defined in the EU-SILC Framework Regulation. The questions must be answered by the household respondent for the whole group of children aged under 16. If at least one child does not have the item in question, the whole group of children in the household is assumed not to have the item.
