| Variable name | Variable description | Variable categories (classifications) for data transmission to the Commission (Eurostat) | Variable categories (classifications) for data transmission to the Commission (Eurostat) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Educational attainment level | The educational attainment level of an individual is the highest ISCED (International Standard Classification of Education 201110) level successfully completed. The successful completion of an education programme is validated by a qualification officially recognised by the relevant national education authorities or recognised as equivalent to another qualification of formal education. In countries where education programmes, in particular those belonging to ISCED levels 1 and 2, do not lead to a qualification, the criterion of full attendance of the programme and normally gaining access to a higher level of education may be used instead. When determining the highest level, both general and vocational education should be taken into consideration. The concept of a ‘successful completion of an education programme’ typically corresponds to the situation in which a pupil or student attends courses or classes and obtains the final credential associated with a formal education programme. In this respect, educational attainment level corresponds to the highest level successfully completed in the ISCED ladder. The educational attainment level is defined according to the ISCED. The category ‘not applicable’ is to be used to count statistical units which are part of the population of the data source but for which it systematically does not report any information on the variable (e.g. persons below a certain age). | ISCED 5 Short-cycle tertiary education | 5 |

| Household grid | Household grid reports about the composition of private households and the intra-household relationships between household members. Household grid shall be in the form of a matrix containing the relationships between each and all members of the household, where each row and column corresponds to one member of the household, and where the relationship between the members is indicated by the standard categories in the cells where the row and column of the respective members are crossed, as follows: — ‘Partner’ shall be defined according to the legal or de facto partnership or relationship status. — A ‘husband’ or ‘wife’ or ‘civil partner’ shall be identified according to the legal marital status, i.e. the (legal) conjugal status of each individual in relation to the marriage laws (or customs) of the country (i.e. de jure status), including civil partners. Members of same sex couples can be ‘husband or wife or civil partner’ if it was concluded under the marriage laws (or customs) of the country. — ‘Partner’ or ‘cohabitee’ is identified according to the de facto relationship, i.e. the partnership or relationship status of each individual in terms of his or her actual living arrangements within the household. — ‘Son’ or ‘daughter’, whether natural or adopted or stepson or stepdaughter. — ‘Natural or adopted son or daughter’ or ‘stepson or stepdaughter’ refers to a natural (biological), adopted or step member of the family (regardless of age or partnership or relationship status) who has usual residence in the household of at least one of the parents. ‘Adoption’ means taking and treating a biological child of other parents as one’s own in so far as provided by the laws of the country. By means of a judicial process, whether related or not to the adopter, the adopted child acquires the rights and status of a biological child born to the adopting parents. — ‘Stepson or stepdaughter’ refers to a situation where a step-parent treats the child of his or her partner as one’s own in so far as provided by the laws of the country, without adopting it. — ‘Son or daughter-in-law’ is a person who is the legal or the de facto partner of one’s child. — ‘Grand-child’ means a child of ones' child including natural, adopted and step child. — ‘Parent’ is the counterpart of the ‘natural or adopted son or daughter’ (natural or adoptive parent) or ‘stepson or stepdaughter’ (stepparent). — ‘Parent-in-law’ is a person who is a parent of one’s legal or de facto partner. — ‘Grand-parent’ means a parent of one’s parent including natural, adoptive and step-parent. — ‘Brother or sister’ refers to biological, adoptive or stepbrothers or stepsisters. — ‘Other relative’ refers to other relatives not included in the list outlined above such as cousin, aunt or uncle, niece or nephew etc. and also covers grand-child-in-law, grand-parent-in-law and brother or sister-in-law. — ‘Other non-relative’ refers to non-relatives, such as au-pairs, cohabitating friends or students, etc. Foster children are also to be included in this category. | The level of detail of the information is context-specific for each micro-data collection: — Partner — Husband or wife or civil partner — Partner or cohabitee — Son or daughter — Natural or adopted son or daughter — Stepson or stepdaughter — Son or daughter-in-law — Grand-child — Parent — Natural or adoptive parent — Stepparent — Parent-in-law — Grand-parent — Brother or sister — Natural brother or sister — Step brother or sister — Other relative — Other non-relative — Not stated6 | The level of detail of the information is context-specific for each micro-data collection: — Partner — Husband or wife or civil partner — Partner or cohabitee — Son or daughter — Natural or adopted son or daughter — Stepson or stepdaughter — Son or daughter-in-law — Grand-child — Parent — Natural or adoptive parent — Stepparent — Parent-in-law — Grand-parent — Brother or sister — Natural brother or sister — Step brother or sister — Other relative — Other non-relative — Not stated6 |

| Tenure status of the household | The variable refers to the arrangements under which a private household occupies all or part of a housing unit, where: The categories ‘owner with outstanding mortgage’ and ‘owner without outstanding mortgage’ are to be used for private households where at least one member of that household is the owner of the housing unit in which the household lives, regardless whether any other member of the household is a tenant of all or part of the housing unit. A person is an owner if he or she possesses a title deed, independently of whether the house is fully paid or not. A reversionary owner should be considered as the owner. The category ‘owner with outstanding mortgage’ applies to the situations where the owner has to pay off at least one outstanding mortgages or any outstanding interest on the mortgage, or both, taken to buy this housing unit. The category ‘owner without outstanding mortgage’ applies to the situations where there is neither any outstanding mortgage nor any interest to be repaid on the mortgage. Payoffs for mortgages or housing loans, or both, for any other housing unit (e.g. for a second dwelling) or for repairs, renovation, maintenance, or any non-housing purposes do not qualify. The categories ‘tenant, rent at market price’ or ‘tenant, rent at reduced price’ are to be used for households of which at least one member is the tenant (housing unit rented from the owner) or subtenant (housing unit sub-rented from someone who himself is a tenant) of the housing unit in which he or she lives, and where no household member is the owner of that housing unit. The category ‘tenant, rent at market price’ applies to households of which at least one member is the tenant or subtenant who pays rent at prevailing or market prices. The category also applies where rent at market price is paid but is partly or wholly recovered from housing benefits or other sources, including public, charitable, or private sources. The category ‘tenant, rent at reduced price’ covers households living in housing units at a reduced price, i.e. a price is below the market price (but not rent-free), and includes cases where the price reduction is granted (a) by law (b) as a result of a social housing scheme (c) for private reasons (d) by an employer The category ‘tenant, rent free’ covers households living in housing units rent-free, i.e. where no rent is paid, and includes cases where the free rent is granted (a) by law (b) as a result of a social housing scheme (c) for private reasons (d) by an employer The category ‘not applicable’ covers all private households that do not live in conventional dwellings as defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1201/2009. | — Owner without outstanding mortgage — Owner with outstanding mortgage — Tenant, rent at market price — Tenant, rent at reduced price — Tenant, rent free — Not stated6 — Not applicable | — Owner without outstanding mortgage — Owner with outstanding mortgage — Tenant, rent at market price — Tenant, rent at reduced price — Tenant, rent free — Not stated6 — Not applicable |
| Net current monthly household income | The variable reports on the net current monthly income of a private household i.e. the sum of the income of all household members received individually or as a whole – including income from work, social benefits, and other cash income, and deducting cash transfers paid to other households – after taxes and contributions to social insurance. The variable aims at providing information on the household income remaining available to be spent or saved monthly on average. In case the household income varies substantially from month to month, an estimation of the typical or usual net monthly income reflecting the current household income situation is to be provided. In case the monthly household income varies substantially over the year such as in case of seasonal activity, the monthly average of the annual income is to be provided. Net current monthly income is to be provided either as total net current household income or as one of the five equivalised income groups. The thresholds between the five equivalised income groups are determined by the quintiles of the variable distribution and are defined as follows: — ‘Lower equivalised net current monthly income group’ corresponds to households with an equivalised income level that falls below the first quintile. — ‘Low to medium equivalised net current monthly income group’ corresponds to households with an equivalised income level equal or greater than the first quintile and below the second quintile. — ‘Medium equivalised net current monthly income group’ corresponds to households with an equivalised income level equal or greater than the second quintile and below third quintile. — ‘Medium to high equivalised net current monthly income group’ corresponds to households with an equivalised income level equal or greater than the third quintile and below the fourth quintile. — ‘Higher equivalised net current monthly income group’ corresponds to households with an equivalised income level equal or greater than the fourth quintile. Equivalisation consists of applying weights to the household members to reflect differences in household size and composition, as follows: a weight of 1.0 is applied to the first member of the household aged 14 or more, 0.5 to the second and each subsequent member aged 14 or over, and 0.3 to each child aged less than 14. | — Lower equivalised net current monthly income group — Low to medium equivalised net current monthly income group — Medium equivalised net current monthly income group — Medium to high equivalised net current monthly income group — Higher equivalised net current monthly income group — Total net current monthly household income (number expressed in national currency) — Not stated6 | — Lower equivalised net current monthly income group — Low to medium equivalised net current monthly income group — Medium equivalised net current monthly income group — Medium to high equivalised net current monthly income group — Higher equivalised net current monthly income group — Total net current monthly household income (number expressed in national currency) — Not stated6 |
| Permanency of main job | The variable distinguishes whether the main job has a limited duration (i.e. the job or contract will terminate after a predefined period), or is based on a permanent contract without a fixed end. The variable refers to the main job of a person in employment who is working as an employee. The term job is used in reference to employment. The criterion determining whether a person is in employment is context-specific for each micro-data collection. One job is a set of tasks and duties performed for a single economic unit. Persons may have one or several jobs. For employees, each contract can be considered as a separate set of tasks and duties, and consequently as a separate job. In cases of multiple job-holding, the main job is that with the longest hours usually worked, as defined in the international statistical standards on working time. A job with a fixed-term contract will terminate either after a period of time determined in advance (by a known date), or after a period not known in advance, but nevertheless defined by objective criteria, such as the completion of an assignment or the period of absence of an employee temporarily replaced. A job with a contract that has no such predefined end is counted as permanent. What counts as a job is the contractual or the informal or verbal agreement of the employment relationship, and not the expectation that the respondent might have to lose the job, his or her plan to leave it, his or her wish to stay or the probability to stay there permanently. | The level of detail of the information is context-specific for each micro-data collection: — Fixed-term contract — — fixed-term written contract — — fixed term verbal agreement — Permanent job — — permanent written contract — — permanent verbal agreement — Not stated6 — Not applicable7 | The level of detail of the information is context-specific for each micro-data collection: — Fixed-term contract — — fixed-term written contract — — fixed term verbal agreement — Permanent job — — permanent written contract — — permanent verbal agreement — Not stated6 — Not applicable7 |
| Supervisory responsibilities | The variable refers to the current main job of a person in employment who is an employee and it distinguishes between employees with and without supervisory tasks. A person is considered to have supervisory responsibilities when he or she formally supervises the work of at least one other person. Responsibilities toward apprentices and trainees do not count as supervision and neither does quality control (check output of services but not the work produced by other persons) or consultancy. | — Yes — No — Not stated6 — Not applicable7 | — Yes — No — Not stated6 — Not applicable7 |
| Year in which the person started working for his or her current employer or as self-employed | The variable refers to the current main job of a person in employment and reports on the year in which the person started to work for his or her current employer or as self-employed in the current business. | — Year in which the person started working for current employer or as self-employed in main job (expressed in four digits) — Not stated6 — Not applicable7 | — Year in which the person started working for current employer or as self-employed in main job (expressed in four digits) — Not stated6 — Not applicable7 |

It also includes working proprietors and partners working regularly in the unit and unpaid family workers, as well as part-time workers who are on the payroll. Seasonal workers, apprentices, trainees and home workers on the payroll are also included. The local unit is an enterprise or part thereof situated in a geographically identified place. | — Exact number of persons, if between 1 and 9 — 10 to 19 persons — 20 to 49 persons — 50 to 249 persons — 250 persons or more — Do not know but less than 10 persons — Do not know but 10 persons or more — Not stated6 — Not applicable7 | — Exact number of persons, if between 1 and 9 — 10 to 19 persons — 20 to 49 persons — 50 to 249 persons — 250 persons or more — Do not know but less than 10 persons — Do not know but 10 persons or more — Not stated6 — Not applicable7 |
| Existence of previous employment experience | The variable provides information on whether a person — who is not in employment — has previously been in employment (in accordance with the International Labour Organisation definition of employment12), and on whether the previous employment experience was or not limited to purely occasional work. The category ‘Person has never been in employment’ covers persons who have never had any employment experience. The category ‘Person has employment experience limited to purely occasional work’ covers persons who have had employment experience, and this experience is limited to purely occasional work. For the purpose of this variable, work as a conscript should not be considered as employment experience. The category ‘Person has employment experience other than purely occasional work’ covers persons who have had employment experience excluding cases where this experience is limited to purely occasional work. | — Person has never been in employment — Person has employment experience limited to purely occasional work — Person has employment experience other than purely occasional work — Not stated6 — Not applicable7 | — Person has never been in employment — Person has employment experience limited to purely occasional work — Person has employment experience other than purely occasional work — Not stated6 — Not applicable7 |
