| Duration of stay in the country of residence in completed years | Duration of stay in the country of residence in completed years describes the interval of time since the point in time when a person most recently established his or her usual residence in the reporting country, expressed in completed years, as one of the following: — Born in this country and never lived abroad for a period of at least 1 year, covering those persons who are born in the reporting country and have never had their usual residence in a country other than the reporting country for at least 1 year. — Number of years in the country since last establishing the place of usual residence in this country — an integer number describing the time span between the point in time when a person most recently established his or her usual residence and the reference date (specific to each social micro-data collection) in completed years. | — Born in this country and never lived abroad for a period of at least 1 year — Number of years in this country (since last establishing the place of usual residence in this country) (2 digits) — Not stated6 — Not applicable7 | — Born in this country and never lived abroad for a period of at least 1 year — Number of years in this country (since last establishing the place of usual residence in this country) (2 digits) — Not stated6 — Not applicable7 |
| Self-perceived general health | The self-perceived general health is a subjective assessment by the individual concerning person’s health in general (rather than the present state of health or possible temporary health problems) including different dimensions of health, i.e. physical and emotional functioning, mental health (covering psychological well-being and mental disorders), and biomedical signs and symptoms. | — Very good — Good — Fair (neither good nor bad) — Bad — Very bad — Not stated6 — Not applicable7 | — Very good — Good — Fair (neither good nor bad) — Bad — Very bad — Not stated6 — Not applicable7 |
| Long-standing health problem | The variable ‘long-standing health problems’ is a subjective assessment by the individual concerning person’s chronic health problems covering different physical, emotional, behavioural and mental dimensions of health, diseases, and disorders, as well as pain, ill-health caused by accidents and injuries or congenital conditions. The characteristics of a long-standing or chronic condition are that it is permanent and may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation or care. Longstanding illnesses or health problems should have lasted (or recurred) or are expected to last (recur) for 6 months or more. The category ‘yes’ refers to the occurrence of one or more long-standing or chronic health problems, and ‘no’ refers to the absence of any long-standing or chronic health problem as perceived by the respondent. | — Yes — No — Not stated6 — Not applicable7 | — Yes — No — Not stated6 — Not applicable7 |
| Limitation in activities because of health problems | The variable measures the individual self-assessed level of long-lasting ongoing limitation or limitations (of at least 6 months) due to health problem or problems (whether physical, mental or emotional, including impairment or limitations due to an old age) in participation in activities that the person would otherwise usually undertake or carry out. An activity is defined as the performance of a task or action by an individual. Activity limitations are defined as difficulties by an individual in performing an activity, assessed against a generally accepted population standard, relative to cultural and social expectations in relation to activities that people usually do, covering all spectrums of work or school, home and leisure activities. Persons with recurring or fluctuating health conditions should refer to the most frequent situation impacting their usual activities: — ‘Severely limited’ means that performing or accomplishing an activity cannot be done or only done with extreme difficulty and usually with help from other people. — ‘Limited but not severely’ means that performing or accomplishing a usual activity can be done, but with some difficulties, however usually without the need for help (or usually less often than daily help) from other persons. — ‘Not limited at all’ means that performing or accomplishing usual activities can be done without any difficulties, or that any possible activity limitation has not lasted longer than the past 6 months. | — Severely limited — Limited but not severely — Not limited at all — Not stated6 — Not applicable7 | — Severely limited — Limited but not severely — Not limited at all — Not stated6 — Not applicable7 |
| Interviewing mode used | The variable reports on the method used to collect information from the respondent. In case where multiple modes are used to collect data from a respondent, the variable reports on the most predominantly used mode. In PAPI, CAPI and CATI an interviewer is present. CAWI is self-administered and the respondent follows a script provided on the website. The category ‘other’ applies when the interviewing mode used is not covered by the other categories, e.g. paper assisted self-administered interview (PASI) or non-web-based computer assisted self-administered interview (CASI). The category ‘not applicable’ is to be used to count statistical units — which are part of the population of the data source — for which no information on this variable is systematically reported e.g. in case of persons below a certain age, as well as in case all the information has been obtained from registers (i.e. administrative data) or imputed, or both, and no interview has taken place. | — Paper assisted personal interview (PAPI) — Computer assisted personal interview (CAPI) — Computer assisted telephone interview (CATI) — Computer assisted web-interview (CAWI) — Other — Not applicable | — Paper assisted personal interview (PAPI) — Computer assisted personal interview (CAPI) — Computer assisted telephone interview (CATI) — Computer assisted web-interview (CAWI) — Other — Not applicable |
| Variable name | Variable description | Variable categories (classifications) for data transmission to the Commission (Eurostat) | Variable categories (classifications) for data transmission to the Commission (Eurostat) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nature of participation in the survey | The variable reports on whether the information requested has been provided by the designated respondent, or via another person (proxy respondent). The designated respondent is the person indicated in the provisions for each micro-data collection who is requested to provide the information. ‘Direct participation’ refers to a situation where the designated respondent provides the requested information by him or herself. Direct participation also includes cases in which the designated respondent has provided the requested information with assistance of another person (e.g. translation, physical assistance) and has validated the answers provided. ‘Indirect participation’ refers to a situation where the information requested to the designated respondent has been provided by a third person (i.e. proxy respondent) without being validated by the designated respondent. The category ‘not applicable’ is to be used to count statistical units — which are part of the population of the data source — for which no information on this variable is systematically reported as well as in case all the information has been obtained from registers (i.e. administrative data) or imputed, or both, and no interview has taken place. | — Direct participation — Indirect participation — Not stated6 — Not applicable | — Direct participation — Indirect participation — Not stated6 — Not applicable |
| Stratum | The primary stratum corresponding to each observation unit (individual person or household) in case the target population (or a part thereof) is stratified at the first stage of the sample design, providing identification codes for the different strata (stratum identifier). Stratifying a population means dividing it into non-overlapping subpopulations, called strata. Independent samples are then selected within each stratum. The information recorded always refers to the situation at the time of the selection of the concerned statistical unit (individual person or household). The category ‘stratum identifier’ provides the identification code of the stratum each observation unit (individual or household) belongs to. Stratum identification codes are to be used in case the target population has been stratified, or in case self-representing primary sampling units (PSUs) have been considered. The category ‘not applicable’ is to be used in case the target population has not been stratified at the first stage of the sampling process (e.g. when the sample has been drawn by simple random sampling or by cluster random sampling), and self-representing PSUs have not been considered. | — Stratum identifier — Not applicable | — Stratum identifier — Not applicable |
| Primary Sampling Unit (PSU) | The variable reports on the primary sampling unit (PSU) corresponding to each observation unit (individual person or household) in case the target population is divided into clusters, providing identification codes for the clusters or PSUs. A population is divided into clusters (i.e. disjoint sub-populations) in case direct-element sampling is either impossible (due to lack of sampling frame) or its implementation too expensive (the population is widely distributed geographically). A sample of clusters (PSUs) is then selected at the first stage of the sampling process. The information recorded always refers to the situation at the time of the selection of the concerned unit (individual or household). The category ‘primary sampling unit identifier’ provides the identification code of the PSU (among the selected PSUs) each observation unit (individual or household) belongs to, in case the target population has been divided into clusters in the first stage of sampling. The category ‘not applicable’ is to be used when the target population has not been clustered at the first stage of the sampling process, e.g. when the sample has been drawn by simple random sampling or by stratified random sampling. | — Primary sampling unit identifier — Not applicable | — Primary sampling unit identifier — Not applicable |

The category ‘not stated’ is to be used for the cases of non-response, e.g. the respondent does not know the answer or refuses to answer.
7
The category ‘not applicable’ is to be used for the cases out of the scope of a specific variable, i.e. as a result of the application of a filter for that variable, and is also to be used to count statistical units — which are part of the population of the data source — for which no information on this variable is systematically reported, e.g. in case of persons below a certain age.
