Furthermore, the HBS provides detailed descriptions of private households’ total consumption expenditure by household characteristics such as income, housing and many demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, thus providing information on economic and social living conditions of households and individuals in the Member States.
- (3) For the consumption domain, the number of variables to be collected should not exceed, by more than 5 %, the number of variables set out in the first delegated act adopted for that domain. This is the first delegated act adopted for the consumption domain,
