Quarterly National Household Survey
The Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) began in September 1997,
replacing the annual April Labour Force Survey (LFS). The purpose of the
survey is the production of quarterly labour force estimates (microdata)
and occasional reports on special social topics (modules).
Information is collected continuously throughout the year, with 3,000
households surveyed each week to give a total sample of 39,000 households
in each quarter. Households are asked to take part in the survey for five
consecutive quarters.
Further, more detailed information on the QNHS is available from the
CSO here.
Data is only available for use by bona fide research projects.
Any requests for consultancy or commercial uses of this data must be
directed to the Central Statistics Office.

| Notes |
The module was initiated as part of
the Public Opinion and Political Behaviour Research Programme at the
Institute for the Study of Social Change at UCD.
ISSC would like to acknowledge the contribution of the working
group of academics and of government and CSO officials that assisted
in the design of the study and of the questionnaire.
An ISSC-based research group (Chris Achen (Princeton), Gerald
Mills, Patrick Murphy and Richard Sinnott) is currently working on
an analysis of the data. This research project is supported by a
grant from the Irish Council for the Humanities and Social
Sciences.
Any inquiries about the study should be addressed to Richard.Sinnott@ucd.ie
