ANNEX
For the purposes of this Regulation, the following units, modes of data collection and reference periods apply:
1. Unit
The target variables relate to different types of units:
|
|
The variables relating to the affordability of childcare services, unmet needs for such services and reasons for not making use of such services, the affordability of formal education, health care, the presence of persons in need of home care and all variables related to home care received apply at household level and refer to the household as a whole. |
|
|
Information on unmet needs for formal education, the main reason for non-participation in formal education, lifelong learning, home care provided and hours per week of home care provided is to be provided for each current household member, or, if applicable, for all selected respondents aged 16 and over. |
|
|
Information on payment for childcare, the proportion of the costs paid and who pays for/contributes to it is to be provided by the household respondent for each child aged 0-12. |
|
|
Information on the payment of tuition fees for formal education, the proportion paid and who pays for/contributes to it, is to be provided by the household respondent for each household member. |
2. Mode of data collection
For variables applying at household level or variables relating to each household member (including variables relating to children) where information is provided at household level, the mode of data collection is personal interview with the household respondent.
For variables applying at individual level, the mode of data collection is personal interview with all current household members aged 16 and over or, if applicable, with each selected respondent.
The age refers to age at the end of the income reference period.
Given the type of information to be collected, only personal interviews are allowed (with proxy interviews used as an exception for persons who are temporarily absent or incapacitated).
3. Reference period
The target variables relate to two types of reference periods:
|
|
Last 12 months: for the variables related to unmet needs for formal education and the main reason for non-participation in formal education, lifelong learning, and the use of and payment for health care services. |
|
|
Usual: for all other variables. |
4. Data transmission
The target secondary variables should be sent to the Commission (Eurostat) in the Household Data File (H-file), the Register Data File (R-file) and in the Personal Data File (P-file) after the target primary variables.
