Household Budget Surveys in Europe 5

1 Introduction1

Household budget surveys are a key component of national statistics in Europe All national statistical

offices in the European Union carry out household budget surveys on a regular basis (see Eurostat

2003) These survey programs cover all kind and amount of income and expenditures (for goods and

services) of private households in great level of detail by means of household books (diaries) In addi-

tion other features applicable to various areas of life are covered like household composition partici-

pation in labor force housing conditions mobility equipment with durable goods etc as well as in-

formation on socio-economic status and demography That is household budget surveys offer a

unique potential to investigate socio-economic inequality especially in a comparative European per-

spective Though the chances to realize the full potentials are dependent on the accessibility of house-

hold budget micro-data from the several European countries Eurostat currently tries to coordinate the

national household budget surveys of the EU member-countries (Eurostat 1993 1997 2003) But to

get access household budget survey data one has to contact the respective national statistical offices

With currently 27 EU member countries this implies a prohibitively high input for the single researcher

only to get the necessary access information and meta-data

That is why GESIS ndash Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences a service facility for the social sciences

has begun to set up a user support service starting with the collection of relevant meta-data and con-

tact information This report describes the service concept and presents first results to facilitate re-

search using European household budget surveys (HBS)

2 Goals of the service

One step towards the reduction of access restrictions to European-HBS is to minimize preliminary

investigation efforts with regard to the meta-data documentation and survey data By collecting and

reappraising all relevant meta-data information the service aims to support intercultural comparison

of household budget data of different EU member countries For this purpose it is beneficial to have a

table which encompasses the respective modalities of data-access contact information and websites

A first step toward an encompassing service infrastructure for the scientific community is to investi-

gate and assemble direct access to the websites of the national statistical offices

Further meta-data are usually necessary in the research process sampling procedure sample size

survey period (period of fieldwork) methods of data collection and classification-schemes used (for

example COICOP-HBS2)

In the initial stage of building up an information service for the scientific community the main focus is

on well-established EU-member countries Afterwards the members which have lately joined the EU as

well as the candidate countries will be added to the meta-data collection Finally it is planned to addi-

tionally provide meta-data on household budget surveys in OECD countries Having centralized access

to this information facilitates comparative analyses beyond Europe using HBS data

3 Results

Currently there is no centralized basis available which provides free access to meta-data on European

household budget surveys Hence it was necessary to launch a detailed search process on the websites

of the respective national statistical offices in order to collect relevant data about access modalities

ways of getting into contact and further information with regard to content of the respective house-

hold budget survey

Usually the general websites of the statistical offices and the EU are easy to find But retrieving the

special subcategory on household budget surveys sometimes was a little complicated because of vary-

ing classification of HBS-programs into the pattern of indexing of the respective statistical office This

difficulty was sometimes exacerbated by the fact that in several cases web content on HBS was only

available in foreign language ie there were no web pages in English available HBS-data are often

attached to different subcategories like social affairs labor market population income statistics or

statistics of living conditions Besides HBS-programs do not have a common denotation which makes

searches on the respective websites difficult

Additional obstacles were placed by missing English versions of the websites In the case of the Danish

statistical office we could only manage to find the subcategory HBS by entering the original Danish

denomination (sbquoForbrugsundersoslashgelsenrsquo)

Another strategy was to have a look on the so called sitemaps which graphically show the structure of

the website With the help of this graphical feature it was possible to understand the logical design of

the website

Another minor difficulty for the search query was given by the fact that basic information on the

dataset and the HBS-data themselves were sometimes located in different categories Basic meta-data

2 Classification of Individual Consumption by Purpose (CIOCOP) adapted to the needs of Household Budget

Surveys (COICOP-HBS)

like survey year and tables showing results from HBS most of the time were separated from infor-

mation on data access Partly the various information necessary for a comprehensive meta-data ser-

vice was offered by different agencies (eg the statistical bureaus of France and Great Britain) Which

inevitably lead to an additional search query on the website of these organizations

Against this background the major goal was to bring together all the relevant information and present

them in a simple portrayal allowing quick access to the desired information Therefore the results are

presented in four tables The first two contain the modalities of access and contact information for 17

European countries (see Tables A1 and A2 in Appendix) The third one gives basic information on the

household budget surveys of these countries (see Table A3 in Appendix) The fourth table contains this

information for countries that have joined the EU only recently or are candidate countries currently

(see Table A4 in Appendix)

4 Prospects

For the further development of the service it is necessary to collect and offer in detail all the ques-

tionnaires and diaries used for the respective survey as well as the codebooks connected to every sin-

gle micro-data file

While access to questionnaires is comparatively uncomplicated diaries usually are not amenable online

The same applies for variable lists or registers of the categories used in the survey usually they are not

open to the public Hence it is necessary to get into contact with the national statistical bureaus in

order to find a feasible solution to provide this information for the scientific community

Household Budget Survey

Aim of the survey

To produce data to construct the weights in the Con-sumer Price Index and to get infor-mation for analyses of living standards and poverty

To update the weighting of goods and services for the consumption price index and to provide the data to Eurostat and the Institute of National Accounts To put the data at the disposal of universities minis-tries research insti-tutions etc

The results of the survey are used as one of the inputs to calculate the Con-sumer Price Index and to establish the national accounts They are used for different public and private planning purposes

The purpose of the Household Budget survey is to produce information on the householdacutes or the individualacutes con-sumer behaviour on how their incomes are created and distributed on their debts plus the public goods and services which they receive in the form of wel-fare services and furthermore on ownership of con-sumer durables

The principal uses of the survey are for the weighting of the consumer price index for national accounts for socio-economic studies for example studies on income poverty inequality or studies on specific popula-tion groups and more generally numerous studies on consumption and standard of living

The purpose of the income and con-sumption survey (EVS) is to provide data for the weighting of goods and services for the Consumer Price Index and to provide representative sta-tistical data on the composition of private households their socio-economic status their income by source and expendi-ture by type and purpose

Revision of the Consumer Price Index

The Household Budget survey aims to determine the consumption ex-penditure structure of households in order to update the weights included in the Consumer Price Index

Aim of the survey To measure private consumption defined as all goods and services bought or consumed from own production by private households in order to satisfy their needs

To obtain a weighting system for the con-sumer price index and to make studies on the standard of living and consumer habits of households

To obtain statistical information on the expenditure of differ-ent types of house-hold in the relation to the characteristics of the household (eg size composition income) its accom-modation and income statistics

To update the weights used for the Consum-er Price Index to estimate the con-sumption expenditure of private individuals to analyse the con-sumption behaviour and living conditions of households to construct a system of poverty indicators

To estimate - the quarterly con-sumption expenditure - the change of con-sumption expenditure with regard to the same quarter of the previous year - the annual con-sumption expenditure and to estimate quar-terly and annual consumption of food and beverages meas-ured in physical quantities

To give information about level and dis-tribution of different expenditure items for different types of households

The main aim is to supply the weights for the Retail Price Index (the UK con-sumer price index) Data from the survey also contribute to the estimates of house-holdsacute final consump-tion for the national accounts
