Forms the Irish component of the European Community Household Panel (ECHP): an EU-wide project, co-ordinated by Eurostat, to conduct harmonised longitudinal surveys dealing the social situation, financial circumstances and living standards of European individuals and households. The fact that the same set of households is interviewed each year means that it is possible to study changes in the characteristics and circumstances of particular households or individuals over time. Provides harmonised cross-sectional surveys for each year in which the survey is conducted, as well as longitudinal data, which permits dynamic analysis of changes over time. Data is restricted. For access, see the Data Librarian. Please review the contract ahead of time.
