It is a voluntary (for selected households) survey of private households. The survey has been running annually in Ireland since 2003. Social Sciences Household budgets Households Income Living conditions Poverty Social disadvantage Social exclusion Standard of living Economic conditions and indicators Income, property and investment/saving Equality, inequality and social exclusion Social conditions and indicators The Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) in Ireland is a household survey covering a broad range of issues in relation to income and living conditions. It is the official source of data on household and individual income and also provides a number of key national poverty indicators, such as the ‘at risk of poverty’ rate, the consistent poverty rate and rates of enforced deprivation. The primary focus of the Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) is the collection of information on the income and living conditions of different types of households in Ireland, in order to derive indicators on poverty, deprivation and social exclusion. It is a voluntary survey of private households. The SILC Anonymised Microdata File (AMF) contains both personal and household level data. Household data is at present duplicated for each member of the household. If performing household level analysis, please be aware of this and subset the data to include a single entry per household (interview_hh = 1). Please note: In 2020 AMF was revised to be more in line with the SILC RMF. Variables were renamed in accordance with Eurostats Doc65, which provides methodological guidelines and description of EU-SILC target variables. The target variables within the AMF are data on household and individual income as well as a number of key national poverty indicators, therefore variables identified as being not relevant to SILC were removed from the AMF. Furthermore, additional statistical disclosure controls were also implemented in the revisions so as to adhere to updates of the Legislation, Governance & Data Policies of the CSO. Please note: SILC AMF data is cross-sectional microdata in which household and/or individuals cannot be tracked over time. The household id variables in each cross sectional file are randomly generated and cannot be linked between yearly datasets. 2012 Ireland Region Individual Household All private households and their current members residing in the state at the time of data collection Survey data Data is available to request for non-commercial research and teaching purposes For non-commercial research use please fill in the ISSDA Data Request Form for Research Purposes - Pseudonymised Datasets here: <a href=""https://www.ucd.ie/issda/t4media/ISSDA_Data_Request_Form_for_Research_Purposes_Pseudonymised_Datasets.docx"">Request Form for Research Purposes - Pseudonymised Datasets</a> and email it to: <a href=""issda@ucd.ie"">issda@ucd.ie</a> For teaching use please fill in the ISSDA Data Request Form for Teaching Purposes - Pseudonymised Datasets here: <a href=""https://www.ucd.ie/issda/t4media/ISSDA_Data_Request_Form_for_Teaching_Purposes_Pseudonymised_Datasets.docx"">Request Form for Teaching Purposes - Pseudonymised Datasets</a> and email it to: <a href=""issda@ucd.ie"">issda@ucd.ie</a> Please note that ISSDA provides access to the anonymised microdata file (AMF) version of the dataset only.
