   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2019/1700 of the European Parliament and of the Council
   of 10 October 2019 establishing a common framework for European statistics relating to
   persons and households, based on data at individual level collected from samples, amending
   Regulations (EC) No 808/2004, (EC) No 452/2008 and (EC) No 1338/2008 of the European
   Parliament and of the Council, and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1177/2003 of the European
   Parliament and of the Council and Council Regulation (EC) No 577/981, and in particular
   Article 7(1), Article 8(3) and Article 13(6) thereof,
   Whereas:
   (1)       In order to ensure the accurate implementation of the sample survey as regards the
             income and living conditions domain, EU-SILC, the Commission should specify the
             technical items of the data set, the technical formats for transmission of information
             and the detailed arrangements and content of the quality reports.
   (2)       The EU-SILC survey is a key instrument for providing information required by the
             European Semester and the European Pillar of Social Rights, in particular for income
             distribution, poverty and social exclusion, as well as various related living conditions
             and poverty EU policies, such as on child poverty, access to health care and other
             services, housing, over indebtedness and quality of life. It is also the main source of
             data for microsimulation purposes and flash estimates of income distribution and
             poverty rates.
   (3)       The international comparability of national and regional statistics on income and
             living conditions requires the use of statistical classifications for the territorial units,
             education, occupation and economic sector that are compatible with the NUTS2,
             ISCED3, ISCO4 and NACE5 classifications. The recommendations made by the United

 ---pagebreak---    (11) 'household split' means a situation where the sample persons living in a sample
        household at the time of wave x, live, at the time of wave x+1, in more than one
        private household within the national territory included in the target population;
        when a household split occurs, there will be only one initial household and one or
        more split-off households;
   (12) 'initial household' means a sample household which has undergone a household split
        and where any sample person who lived in that household at the time of wave x still
        lives at the same address at the time of wave x+1. If more than one sample person
        lived in the household at the time of the wave x and still live in that address at the
        time of the wave x+1 but in different households, the initial household is the
        household of the sample person still living at the initial address who has the lowest
        person number referred to in Annex III. If at the time of wave x+1 no sample person
        lives at the address of wave x, then the household of the sample person who had the
        lowest person number at the time of wave x is the initial household. If this person is
        no longer alive or no longer living in a private household within the national territory
        of the target population, the initial household is the household of the sample person
        with the next lowest person number. For the selected respondent model ‘initial
        household’ means the household of the selected respondent;
   (13) 'split-off household' means a household composed of members of the household that
        has undergone a household split, other than the initial household;
   (14) 'fusion household' means all sample persons from different sample households from
        the previous wave who join together to form a new household;
   (15) 'modelling' means generating information that is missing in the data set by making
        use of substantive relationships with information from outside the data set;
   (16) 'collection unit' means a household or person with certain characteristics to which or
        whom the information collected pertains;
   (17) 'household respondent' means the person from whom household-level information is
        obtained;
   (18) 'rotational panel design' means sample selection based on a fixed number of
        subsamples, each of which is representative of the target population at the time of its
        selection. Each year, one subsample rotates out and a new one is drawn as a
        substitute;
   (19) ‘wave’ means a year in which a subsample is participating in the survey;
   (20) 'panel' means a subsample observed over more than one year.

           imputed shall be those identified in the Annex II.
   4.      All household and personal data shall be linkable for the whole duration of the panel,
           both for cross-sectional and for longitudinal information.

       Characteristics of the statistical populations and observation units and the rules on
                                             respondents
   1.      The target population in the income and living conditions domain shall be private
           households and all persons composing these households in the territory of the
           Member State.
   2.      Information at household and person level shall be collected or compiled for all
           household members, including all sample persons and co-residents as specified in
           Annex II. In the selected respondent model, data shall be collected through
           individual interviews only from selected respondents aged 16 or over. For a sample
           person, starting from the second wave, information shall be obtained on whether that
           person remained at the same address or moved to a different address from one year to
           the next, as well as on the new contact information in case of change.
   3.      Information on household members from the previous wave who are no longer
           household members shall be collected to establish whether those persons have died
           or whether they have moved abroad or to an institution or to a different address
           within the national territory.
   4.      A household shall be included for the collection or compilation of detailed
           information if it contains at least one sample person.
   5.      In both the initial and the split-off household, the full information required for
           current household members and the full information at household level shall be
           collected or compiled.
   6.      At least three attempts shall be made to contact a household or person before it is
           considered that it, he or she is non-responding, unless there are conclusive reasons
           why this cannot be done (such as a definite refusal to cooperate or circumstances
           endangering the interviewer’s safety).
   7.      Where proxy interviews are allowed, the proxy rate shall be kept as limited as
           possible with regard to:
   (a)     the income personal variables;
   (b)     any variables required for at least one household member aged 16 and over.
           If a proxy interview is conducted, the identification of the person who has provided
           the information shall be recorded.
   8.      Detailed characteristics of the identification of households and persons shall be those
           set out in Annex III.

                                    Reference periods
   1. The income reference period shall be a 12-month period, such as the previous
      calendar or tax year.
   2. The reference periods for variables not referring to income shall be those specified in
      Annex II.
                                          Article 6
                             Detailed sample characteristics
   1. Only Member States that used the selected respondent model before [OP: insert the
      entry into force of this Regulation] shall be authorised to continue using the method
      over the following years.
   2. Controlled substitutions of sample households or persons may be allowed only in the
      first year of each panel, if the response rate falls below 60 % and one of the
      following situations arises:
      (a)   the sample household or person is not contacted because it/she/he cannot be
            located or is inaccessible;
      (b)   the sample household or person is contacted, but the interview is not completed
            because the household or person refuses to cooperate, the whole household is
            temporarily away, the household or person is unable to respond or there are
            circumstances endangering the interviewer’s safety.
   3. The set of sample households or persons for substitution shall be defined prior to
      data collection. There shall be no substitution with households or persons not
      belonging to that set.
   4. Procedures shall be followed to ensure that the process of substitution is controlled to
      the maximum extent possible. Such procedures shall include using a design which
      ensures that the selected substitutes closely match the households or persons they
      replace in terms of their significant characteristics.
   5. Small parts of a national territory amounting to no more than 2 % of the national
      population may be excluded from EU-SILC, as may French overseas departments
      and territories. Both exclusions shall not take place simultaneously.
   6. If subpopulations covered by the survey are significantly under-represented in the
      achieved sample owing to specific non-response or attrition, Member States shall
      take measures such as oversampling, calibration or applying any relevant method to
      correct for the resulting bias. The methods used, their impact and any drawbacks
      shall be explained and assessed in the quality report.

   1.  Sample persons, co-residents and sample households shall be observed for the
       purpose of the survey over the duration of the panel in accordance with the rules set
       out in paragraphs 2 to 7.
   2.  Sample persons moving to a private household within the national territory covered
       in the survey shall be followed to the location of the household.
   3.  Sample persons who are temporarily away from the household but who are still
       considered members of the household shall be covered by the survey in that
       household.
   4.  Sample persons who are no longer members of a private household, or who have
       moved outside the national territory covered in the survey or to an institution, shall
       be dropped from the survey.

              following reasons:
              (1)   the address was impossible to locate;
              (2)   the address was non-residential or unoccupied;
              (3)   there was no information on what happened to the household (the
                    household was lost);
              (4)   the household refused to co-operate;
       (b)    the household was not contacted in the first year of the panel or in two
              consecutive years of the panel due to either of the following reasons:
              (1)   it was not possible to access the address;

 ---pagebreak---    2.       Where non-response to income variables at component level results in missing data,
            appropriate methods of statistical imputation shall be applied.
   3.       Where any net income variable at component level is collected directly, appropriate
            methods of statistical imputation or modelling, or both, shall be applied to obtain the
            required target gross variables and vice versa.
   4.       Where non-response to an individual questionnaire occurs within a sample
            household, appropriate statistical methods for statistical weighting or imputation
            shall be used to estimate the total income of the household.
   5.       The procedure applied to the data shall preserve the variation in and the correlation
            between variables. Methods that incorporate ‘error components’ into the imputed
            values shall be preferable to those that simply impute a predicted value.
   6.       Methods which take into account the correlation structure (or other characteristics of
            the joint distribution of the variables) shall be preferable to the marginal or univariate
            approach.

   1.       Member States shall transmit the data that comply with the characteristics of the
            variables as specified in Annex II in electronic form to the Commission (Eurostat).
   2.       Member States shall transmit the data to the Commission (Eurostat) in the form of
            micro-data files (including appropriate weights), using the statistical data and
            metadata exchange standard through the single entry point to allow the Commission
            (Eurostat) to retrieve the data by electronic means. The data must have been fully
            checked and edited.
   3.       Member States shall annually transmit all the subsamples belonging to the rotational
            design of the given year, regardless of their duration. All the subsamples shall be
            transmitted together.

                                   Definitions of statistical concepts
   1.        GROSS INCOME COMPONENTS
   1.1.      Employee income
   Employee income is defined as the total remuneration, in cash or in kind, payable by an
   employer to an employee in return for work done by the latter during the income reference
   period.
   Employee income is broken down into:
   (1)       Gross cash or near-cash employee income (PY010G);
   (2)       Gross non-cash employee income (PY020G);
   (3)       Employers' social insurance contributions (PY030G).
   1.1.1.    Gross cash or near-cash employee income (PY010G)
   It refers to the monetary component of the compensation of employees in cash payable by an
   employer to an employee. It includes the value of any social contributions and income taxes
   payable by an employee or by the employer on behalf of the employee to social insurance
   schemes or tax authorities.
   Gross cash or near-cash employee income includes the followings items:
   –         wages and salaries paid in cash for time worked or work done in main and any
             secondary or casual job(s),
   –         remuneration for time not worked (e.g. holiday payments),

   –         additional payments based on productivity,
   –         allowances paid for working in remote locations (regarded as part of the conditions
             of the job),
   –         allowances for transport to or from work,
   –         additional payments made by employers to their employees or former employees and
             other eligible persons to supplement the sick, disability, maternity leave or survivors'
             pay entitlement from social insurance schemes, where such payments cannot be
             separately and clearly identified as social benefits,
EN                                                  1                                                 EN
 ---pagebreak---    –         payments made by employers to an employee in lieu of wages and salaries through a
             social insurance scheme when that employee is unable to work through sickness,
             disability or maternity leave where such payment cannot be separately and clearly
             identified as social benefits,
   –         cash subsidies received from the employer for dwelling costs.
   Gross cash or near-cash employee income does not include:
   –         payments made by an employer to reimburse work-related expenses (e.g. business
             travel),
   –         severance and termination pay to compensate employees for employment ending
             before the employee has reached the normal retirement age for that job, and
             redundancy payments (they are included under ‘Unemployment benefits’
             (PY090G)),
   –         allowances for purely work-related expenses such as those for travel and subsistence
             or for protective clothes,
   –         lump-sum payments at the normal retirement date (included under ‘Old age benefits’
             (PY100G)),
   –         union strike pay,
   –         employers’ social insurance contributions.
   1.1.2.    Gross non-cash employee income (PY020G)
   It refers to the non-monetary income components which an employer may provide free of
   charge or at a reduced price to an employee as part of the employment package. (If any goods
   or services are provided for both private and work use, then private use, as a proportion of
   total use, must be estimated and applied to the total value).
   Gross non-cash employee income includes:
   –         a company car and associated costs (e.g. free fuel, car insurance, taxes and duties, as
             applicable) provided either for private use or for both private and work use
             (PY021G),
   –         free or subsidised meals, luncheon vouchers,
   –         reimbursement or payment of housing-related expenses (e.g. gas, electricity, water,
             telephone or mobile telephone bills),
   –         accommodation provided free or at reduced rent to an employee as the household’s
             main or secondary residence,
   –         other goods and services provided free or at a reduced price by employers to their
             employees, if they are a significant component of income at national level or they
             constitute a significant component of the income of particular groups of households.
   The value of goods and services provided free of charge shall be calculated according to their
   market value. The value of goods and services provided at a reduced price shall be calculated
   as the difference between the market value and the amount paid by the employee.
EN                                                 2                                                 EN
 ---pagebreak---    Gross non-cash employee income does not include:
   –        the cost to the employer of providing any of these goods and services if they are
            necessary to enable employees to do their work,
   –        accommodation services at a place of work which cannot be used by the households
            to which the employees belong,
   –        allowances paid to employees for the purchase of tools, equipment, clothes, etc.
            needed exclusively or primarily for their work,
   –        special meals or drinks necessitated by exceptional working conditions,
   –        any goods or services provided to employees at the place of work or required
            because of the nature of their work (e.g. a medical examination required for work).
   1.1.3.   Employers' social insurance mandatory/legal contributions (PY030G)
   Employers' contributions means payments made, during the income reference period, by
   employers for the benefit of their employees to insurers (social security funds and private
   funded schemes). The term covers statutory, conventional or contractual contributions to
   provide insurance against social risks. Traditionally, they cover statutory old age pension
   schemes, statutory health insurance and unemployment benefit. Employers’ contributions are
   paid for most people in employment and can be deducted from the wages they receive, in
   accordance with published rules.
   The variable includes:
   –        employers' contributions to government insurance (social security) schemes
            (including payroll taxes levied for social insurance purposes),
   –        employers' contributions to private retirement (pension) plans that are a component
            of a defined insurance system in a country (e.g. second pension insurance pillar),
   –        statutory employers' contributions to other private retirement (pension) plans,
   –        statutory or conventional employers' contributions to private health insurance,
   –        statutory or conventional employers' contributions to life insurance,
   –        statutory or conventional employers' contributions to other employer insurance
            schemes (e.g. disability).
   The variable does not include voluntary contributions by employers.
   1.2.     Self-employment income
   Self-employment income means income received, during the income reference period, by
   individuals, for themselves or in respect of their family members, as a result of being or
   having been self-employed. Self-employment refers to jobs in which remuneration depends
   directly on the profits (or the potential for profits) derived from the goods and services
   produced (with own consumption considered as part of profits). A self-employed person
   makes the operational decisions affecting his or her enterprise, or delegates such decisions
   while retaining responsibility for the welfare of the enterprise. (In this context, ‘enterprise’
EN                                                 3                                                EN
 ---pagebreak---    includes one-person operations). Remuneration for engaging in a hobby is regarded as an
   instance of self-employment.
   If the income collected or compiled corresponds to a time period earlier than the reference
   period, basic adjustments shall be applied to update the data to the income reference period.
   Self-employment income is broken down into:
   (1)      Gross cash profits or losses from self-employment (including royalties) (PY050G);
   (2)      Value of goods produced for own consumption (HY170G).
   1.2.1.   Gross cash profits or losses from self-employment (including royalties) (PY050G)
   That includes:
   –        net operating profit or loss accruing to working owners of, or partners in, an
            unincorporated enterprise, less interest on business loans,
   –        royalties earned on writing, inventions and so on, not included in the profit/loss of
            unincorporated enterprises,
   –        rentals from business buildings, vehicles, equipment, etc., not included in the
            profit/loss of unincorporated enterprises, after deduction of related costs such as
            interest on associated loans, repairs and maintenance and insurance charges.
   It does not include:
   –        directors' fees earned by owners of incorporated enterprises (which are included
            under ‘Gross cash or near cash employee income’ (PY010G)),
   –        dividends paid by incorporated enterprises (which are included under ‘Interest,
            dividends, profits from capital investment in an unincorporated business’
            (HY090G)),
   –        profits from capital invested in an unincorporated enterprise in which the person does
            not work (‘sleeping partners’) (these profits are included under ‘Interest, dividends,
            profits from capital investment in an unincorporated business’ (HY090G)),
   –        rent from land and receipts from boarders or lodgers (which are included under
            ‘Income from rental of a property or land’ (HY040G)),
   –        rentals from dwellings not included in the profit/loss of unincorporated enterprises
            (which are included under ‘Income from rental of a property or land’ (HY040G)).
   Income from self-employment shall be calculated as:
   –        market output (gross revenue to turnover, including the value of goods produced by
            the enterprise but consumed by the self-employed person or his/her household),
   –        plus the market value of goods and services bought for the unincorporated enterprise
            but consumed by the entrepreneur and his/her household members,
   –        plus property income received in connection with financial and other assets
            belonging to the enterprise,
   –        minus intermediate consumption (raw material costs, costs of sales, distribution
            costs, maintenance costs, administrative expenses, etc.),
   –        minus compensation of employees (wages, salaries and social security contributions
            for employees),
EN                                                  4                                              EN
 ---pagebreak---    –         minus taxes on production and import taxes,
   –         minus interest paid on business loans,
   –         minus rents paid on land and other non-produced tangible assets rented by the
             enterprise,
   –         minus consumption of fixed capital,
   –         plus subsidies.
   In practice if the self-employed person or business prepares annual accounts for tax purposes,
   the gross income profits/losses shall be calculated as net operating profits/losses shown on
   this tax account for the most recent 12-month period, before deduction of taxes on income and
   compulsory social insurance contributions.
   In the absence of annual accounts, either for tax purposes or as a business account, the
   alternative approach to measuring self-employment income shall be to collect the amount of
   money (and goods) drawn out of the business for personal use (for consumption or saving,
   including the market value of goods produced or purchased by the business but taken for
   personal use).
   1.2.2.    Value of goods produced for own consumption (HY170G)
   The value of goods produced for own consumption refers to the value of food and beverages
   produced and consumed within the same household.
   The value of goods produced for own consumption shall be calculated as the market value of
   goods produced deducting any expenses incurred in the production.
   The value of food and beverages shall be included if they are a significant component of
   income at national level or if they constitute a significant component of the income of
   particular groups of households.
   This value does not include:
   –         the value of household services,
   –         any production for sale and any withdrawals from a business by a self-employed
             person (these values are included under ‘Gross income profits or losses from self-
             employment’ (including royalties) (PY050G)).
   1.3.      Property income
   Property income means income received minus expenses accruing, during the income
   reference period, by the owner of a financial asset or a tangible non-produced asset (land) in
   return for providing funds to or putting the tangible non-produced asset at the disposal of
   another institutional unit.
   Property income is broken down into:
   (1)       Interest, dividends, profits from capital investment in an unincorporated business
             (HY090G);
   (2)       Income from rental of a property or land (HY040G);
   (3)       Pensions received from individual private plans (other than those covered under the
             European system of integrated social protection statistics (ESSPROS)) (PY080).
EN                                                  5                                             EN
 ---pagebreak---    1.3.1.       Interest, dividends, profits from capital investment in an unincorporated business
                (HY090G)
   Interest (not included in the profit/loss of an unincorporated enterprise), dividends and profits
   from capital investment in an unincorporated business refer to the amount of interest from
   assets such as bank accounts, certificates of deposit, bonds, etc., dividends and profits from
   capital investment in an unincorporated business in which the person does not work, received
   during the income reference period, minus expenses incurred.
   1.3.2.       Income from rental of a property or land (HY040G)
   Income from rental of a property or land refers to the income received, during the income
   reference period, from renting a property (for example renting a dwelling not included in the
   profit/loss of unincorporated enterprises, receipts from boarders or lodgers or rent from land)
   after deducting costs such as mortgage interest repayments, minor repairs, maintenance,
   insurance and other charges.
   1.3.3.       Pensions received from individual private plans (other than those covered under
                ESSPROS) (PY080).
   Regular pensions from private plans (other than those covered under ESSPROS) refer to
   pensions and annuities received, during the income reference period, in the form of interest or
   dividend income from individual private insurance plans, i.e. fully organised schemes where
   contributions are at the contributor’s discretion, independently of his or her employers or
   government.
   The term includes:
   –            Old age, survivors, sickness, disability and unemployment pensions received as
                interest or dividends from individual insurance private plans.
   It does not include:
   –            Pensions from mandatory government schemes,
   –            Pensions from mandatory employer-based schemes.
   1.4.          Current transfers received
   1.4.1.       Social benefits
   Social benefits1 are defined as current transfers received by households during the income
   reference period2 and intended to relieve them of the financial burden of certain risks or
   needs, made through collectively organised schemes, or outside such schemes by government
   units and non-profit institutions serving households.
   Social benefits include the value of any social contributions and income tax payable on the
   benefits by the beneficiary to social insurance schemes or to tax authorities.
   To be classed as a social benefit, a transfer must meet one of two criteria:
   1
               The social benefits included in EU-SILC, with the exception of housing benefits, are restricted to cash benefits.
   2
     To obtain a more accurate measure of the well-being of the household, the lump-sum benefits received during the income reference period
     are treated in accordance with Eurostat technical recommendations. In the same way, lump-sum payments received before the income
     reference period may be taken into account and imputed according to Eurostat recommendations.
EN                                                                      6                                                                    EN
 ---pagebreak---    –         coverage is compulsory (under a law, regulation or collective bargaining agreement)
             for the group in question,
   –         it is based on the principle of social solidarity (i.e. if it is an insurance-based pension,
             the premium and entitlements are not proportional to the individual exposure to risk
             of the people protected).
   Social benefits are broken down into:
   (1)       Family/children-related allowances (HY050G);
   (2)       Housing allowances (HY070G);
   (3)       Unemployment benefits (PY090G);
   (4)       Old-age benefits (PY100G);
   (5)       Survivors' benefits (PY110G);
   (6)       Sickness benefits (PY120G);
   (7)       Disability benefits (PY130G);
   (8)       Education-related allowances (PY140G);
   (9)       Social exclusion allowances/benefits not classified elsewhere (HY060G).
   Social benefits are classed as means-tested or non-means-tested benefits, and as contributory
   or non-contributory.
   Contributory schemes are social protection schemes that require the payment of contributions,
   by the protected persons or by other parties on their behalf, in order to secure individual
   entitlement to benefits.
   Non-contributory schemes are social protection schemes in which eligibility to benefits is not
   conditional on the payment of contributions by the protected persons or by other parties on
   their behalf.
   Means-tested social benefits are social benefits which are explicitly or implicitly conditional
   on the beneficiary's income or wealth, or both, falling below a specified level.
   Non means-tested social benefits are social benefits which are not conditional on the
   beneficiary's income or wealth, or both, falling below a specified level.
   Social benefits do not include:
   –         benefits paid from schemes into which the recipient has made voluntary payments
             only, independently of his/her employer or government (which are included under
             ‘Pensions from individual private plans (other than those covered under ESSPROS)’
             (PY080G)).
   1.4.1.1. Family/ children- related allowance (HY050G)
   The family/children function refers to benefits that:
   –         provide financial support to households for bringing up children,
   –         provide financial assistance to people supporting relatives other than children.
   It includes:
   –         income maintenance benefit in the event of childbirth: flat-rate or earnings-related
             payments intended to compensate the parent for loss of earnings due to absence from

   private plans (other than those covered under ESSPROS) should also be taken into account.

   –        taxes on individual, household or tax-unit income (income from employment,
            property, entrepreneurship, pensions, etc.), including taxes deducted by employers

            unincorporated enterprises paid during the income reference period,

            on the income received during the income reference period or previous years. This

   –        any interest charged on arrears of taxes due and any fines imposed by taxation
            authorities.
   By way of exception, Member States using data from registers, and other Member States for
   which this is the most suitable approach, may report taxes on ‘income received’ in the income
   reference year, if it only marginally affects comparability.

                            Identification of households and persons
   Household identification number
   (1)    The household identification number (ID) is composed of the household number and
          the split number. The household number is a unique number assigned to each
          household in wave 1. That number shall be generated in such a way as to contain no
          information that might enable the household to be identified. The split number for
          the first wave shall always take the value ‘00’.
   (2)    In the event of a household split , the initial household shall keep the household
          number and split number from one wave to the next. The split-off household or
          households shall keep the same household number, but shall be assigned the next
          available unique split number in sequence.
   (3)    In the event of a fusion of two sample households, if the new household remains at
          the previous address of one of them, it shall retain the household number and the
          split number of the household that occupied that address during the previous wave. If
          the new household now occupies a new address, the household number and split
          number of the household of the sample person who now has the lowest person
          number shall be used.
   Personal identification number
   (1)    The personal identification number (ID) is composed of the household ID and the
          person number.
   (2)    The person number for any new person in the household shall be formed by adding 1
          to the highest person number used, for all the years of the survey and the household
          ID.
   (3)    The household ID shall be the household identification number of the household
          where the person first appears in the panel.
   (4)    The personal ID shall remain unchanged throughout the time the person is taking part
          in the survey.

            households for which an interview is accepted for the database, and who underwent a
            personal interview, by rotational group breakdown and total,
   (c)      For each wave, the number of selected respondents (if applicable) who are members
            of the households for which an interview is accepted for the database, and who
            underwent a personal interview, by rotational group breakdown and total.
   Unit non-response
   For each wave, the following shall be reported: the distribution of households (original units
   and substituted units, if applicable) by ‘record of contact at address’, by ‘household
   questionnaire result’ and by ‘household interview acceptance’.
   For the first wave the unit non-response rate shall be provided in accordance with the
   formulas set out below.
   For the total sample, the unit non-response shall be calculated by removing, from the
   numerator and the denominator of the formulas set out below, those units that are out of
   scope, according to the follow-up rules.
   –        Household non-response rates (NRh) shall be computed as follows:
   NRh = (1-(Ra * Rh)) * 100
                   Where:
                          Ra =Number of addresses successfully contacted/Number of valid

   For those Member States where substitutions are made in cases of unit non-response, non-
   response rates shall be calculated before and after substitutions.
   For those Member States where a sample of persons rather than a sample of households
   (addresses) was selected, the individual non-response rates shall be calculated for ‘the
   selected respondent’, for all individuals aged 16 or older and for the non-selected respondent.
