NUTS 1999: Nomenclature of territorial units for statistics.Must be filled only the first time the household is recorded (if applicable).Number of hours > 0 of childcare at pre-school and compulsory school are incompatible.Amounts are in national currency. All amounts must have the same unit.Allowed only as long as gross income components are not mandatory.As missing values are imputed this code is only acceptable if no imputation is possible.Income flags: The flag is composed of two elements:1.the format (net/gross) of collection (can be different from the recorded format);2.imputation factor = collected value divided by recorded value.All the variables that compose the target variable have to be considered to determine the flag value.The following digits will be linked with the first digit without any separator so that the result is a decimal number.Factor by which it is necessary to multiply the total gross income, the total disposable income or the total disposable income before social transfers to compensate for missing individual questionnaires.Mandatory only from 2007 onwards.All the variables that compose the target variable have to be considered to determine the flag value.Gross means that neither taxes nor social contributions have been deducted at source.If the gross value is a conversion from net, the corresponding net variable should also be filled. If both — net and gross — values are collected, both should be recorded.Code "-5" in flag-variable allowed only as long as gross income components are not mandatory.In national currency.Compulsory only for Member States using Eurostat recommended regression method or subjective method to estimate imputed rent.Only collected if calculation of imputed rent at national level uses subjective method.ISCED 2011: International standard classification of education 2011.Compulsory only for Member States which have no other source than EU-SILC to calculate the gender pay gap.ISCO — 88 (COM): International standard classification of occupations (for European purposes), 1988 version.NACE Rev. 2: Statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community, Rev. 2.Person himself/herself should be included in number, as the employer.This variable with the exception of company car will only be collected from 2007 onwards.PY035N belongs to "other items not considered as part of income".PY080N belongs to "other items not considered part of income".Will be recorded only if feasibility studies show it is possible.PY035G and PY080G belong to "other items not included as part of income".Household registerBasic dataBASIC HOUSEHOLD DATA, INCLUDING DEGREE OF URBANISATIONPersonal registerBasic dataBASIC PERSONAL DATADEMOGRAPHIC DATABASIC PERSONAL DATAPersonal registerLabour informationCHILD CAREHousehold dataBasic dataBASIC HOUSEHOLD DATAHousehold dataIncomeTOTAL HOUSEHOLD INCOMENET SERIES OF INCOME COMPONENTS AT HOUSEHOLD LEVELGROSS SERIES OF INCOME COMPONENTS AT HOUSEHOLD LEVELHousehold dataSocial ExclusionHOUSING AND NON-HOUSING RELATED ARREARSNON-MONETARY HOUSEHOLD DEPRIVATION INDICATORS, INCLUDING PROBLEMS IN MAKING ENDS MEET, EXTENT OF DEBT AND ENFORCED LACK OF BASIC NECESSITIESPHYSICAL AND SOCIAL ENVIRONMENTHousehold dataHousingDWELLING TYPE, TENURE STATUS AND HOUSING CONDITIONSHOUSING COSTSAMENITIES IN THE DWELLINGPersonal dataBasic dataBASIC PERSONAL DATA (16 +)DEMOGRAPHIC DATA (16+)Personal dataSocial exclusionNON-MONETARY PERSONAL DEPRIVATION INDICATORSPersonal dataEducationEDUCATION, INCLUDING HIGHEST ISCED LEVEL ATTAINEDPersonal dataLabour informationBASIC LABOUR INFORMATION ON CURRENT ACTIVITY STATUS AND CURRENT MAIN JOB, INCLUDING INFORMATION ON LAST MAIN JOB FOR UNEMPLOYEDBASIC INFORMATION ON ACTIVITY STATUS DURING INCOME REFERENCE PERIODTOTAL NUMBER OF HOURS WORKED ON CURRENT SECOND, THIRD, ETC.

This member must be the selected respondent (RB245 = 2) if this mode of selection is used.The personal register file (R) must contain a record for every person currently living in the household or temporarily absent. In the longitudinal component this file must contain also a record for every person who has moved out or died since the previous wave and for every person who lived in the household for at least three months during the income reference period and was not recorded otherwise in the register of this household.The personal data file (P) must contain a record for every eligible person (RB245 = 1, 2 or 3) for whom the information could be completed from interview and/or registers (RB250 = 11, 12 or 13).The technical format of transmission of the files to Eurostat will be the comma separated values format (CSV). The header row (first record) must contain the variable names.
