Persons living in households with very low work intensity by NUTS regions (population aged 0 to 59 years) - EU 2020 strategy
methods, notes and classification
DATA_DESCR The domain "Income and living conditions" coversáfour topics: people at risk of poverty or social exclusion, income distribution and monetary poverty, living conditions and material deprivation, which are again structured into collections of indicators on specific topics. The collection "People at risk of poverty or social exclusion" houses main indicator on risk of poverty or social inclusion included in the Europe 2020 strategy as well as the intersections between sub-populations of all Europe 2020 indicators on poverty and social exclusion. The collection "Income distribution and monetary poverty" houses collections of indicators relating to poverty risk, poverty risk of working individuals as well as the distribution of income. The collection "Living conditions" hosts indicators relating to characteristics and living conditions of households, characteristics of the population according to different breakdowns, health and labour conditions, housing conditions as well as childcare related indicators. The collection "Material deprivation" covers indicators relating to economic strain, durables, housing deprivation and environment of the dwelling.
CLASS_SYSTEM The EU-SILC results are produced in accordance with the relevant international classification systems. The main classifications used are: ISCED 1997 for the level of education, ISCO (88(COM) and 08(COM) from 2011) for occupation and NACE (Rev.1.1 and Rev. 2 from 2008) for economic activity.
STAT_CONC_DEF Income: The total disposable income of a household is calculated by adding together the personal income received by all of household members plus income received at household level.áMissing income information is imputed. Disposable household income includes: - all income from work (employee wages and self-employment earnings) - private income from investment and property - transfers between households - all social transfers received in cash including old-age pensionsá Note: Some of the income componentsáare mandatory only from 2007: Imputed rent, Interest paid on mortgage,áEmployer's social insurance contributions. From the 2007 year on, all countriesáhave toásupply gross income information.áá The current definition of total household disposable income used for the calculation of EU-SILC based indicators excludes: - imputed rent - i.e. money that one saves on full (market) rent by living in one's own accommodation or in accommodation rented at a price that is lower than the market rent, - non monetary income components, in particular value of goods produced for own consumption, social transfers in kind and non-cash employee income except company cars. Equivalence scale: To take into account the impact of differences in household size and composition, the total disposable household income is "equivalised". The equivalised income attributed to each member of the household is calculated by dividing the total disposable income of the household by the equivalisation factor. Equivalisation factors can be determined in various ways. Eurostat applies an equivalisation factor calculated according to the OECD-modified scale first proposed in 1994 - which gives a weight of 1.0 to the first person aged 14 or more, a weight of 0.5 to other persons aged 14 or more and a weight of 0.3 to persons aged 0-13. Household definition: Aá'private household' means "a person living alone or a group of people who live together in the same private dwelling and share expenditures, including the joint provision of the essentials of living". EU-SILC implementing regulation number 1983/2003 on updated definitions, defines households in terms of sharing household expenses and (for non-permanent members) in terms of duration of stay and (for temporarily absent members) in terms of duration of absence. Household type: A common classification was developed by Eurostat for use in data collection surveys including ECHP, LFS, HBS and EU-SILC as well as the subsequent presentation of indicators relating to income, housing, education, healthcare, etc. Rather than focussing on "couples" and/or "families", the classification is constructed by reference to the numbers of adult members, their age and gender, and the numbers of dependent children living with them. This is reproduced below: Type of household Total All households without dependent children Single person household One adult male One adult female One adult older than 65 years One adult aged between 0 and 64 years Two adults, no dependent children, younger than 65 years Two adults, no dependent children, at least one aged 65 years and over Three or more adults, no dependent children All households with dependent children Single parent with a least one dependent child Two adults with one dependent child Two adults with two dependent children Two adults with three or more dependent children Three or more adults with dependent children Dependent children wereáin the pastádefined as all persons aged less than 16, plus those economically inactive persons aged 16-24 living with at least one of their parents. Now a slightly different definitionáis used: All persons aged less then 18 are considered as dependent children, plus those economically inactive aged 18-24 living with at least one of their parents. Activity status: Under EU-SILC respondents are asked to declare the number of months of year spent in a list of activity statuses (cross-sectional part). The following classification of most frequent activity statusáis established: Most frequent activity status Employed Employees Employed persons except employees Not employed Unemployed Retired Other inactive For the 'in work poverty risk indicators', an individual is considered as having a particular activity status if he/she has spent more than halfáof the reference year in that status. For the pensions indicator 'aggregate replacement ratio' only persons who have spent the total reported time in the relevant activity status are considered. Education level: Under EU-SILC, the attainment levels of individuals are classified according to the 'International Standard Classification of Education' version of 1997. Level 0 Pre-primary education Level 1 Primary education Level 2 Lower secondary education Level 3 (Upper) secondary education Level 4 Post-secondary non-tertiary education Level 5 First stage of tertiary education Level 6 Second stage of tertiary education Occupation: Under EU-SILC, the occupational status of individuals is classified according to the 'International Standard Classification of Occupations' (from 2011 version from 2008).
STAT_UNIT Households andáhousehold members.
STAT_POP The EU-SILC target population in each country consists of all persons living in private households. Persons living in collective households and in institutions are generally excluded from the target population.
