Titles

Title European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions 2012

Abstract

EU-SILC 2012 contains the 2012 Module on housing conditions. The 2012 module includes eighteen variables of which sixteen should be asked at household level and two at personal level. For variables asked at household level, the mode of data collection is personal interview with the household respondent. For variables asked at individual level, the mode of data collection is personal interview with all current household members aged 16 years old and over or, if applicable, with the household selected respondent. Owing to the characteristics of the information to be collected, only personal interviews (proxy interviews as an exception for persons temporarily away or in incapacity) or extracted information from registers are allowed.
