Task Force on Core Social Variables
- Share to:
Based on the work undertaken by the task force on harmonisation of core social variables and the preliminary list presented at the DSS meeting in September 2005, the task force on core variables has carefully considered the list of variables, intending to realise a appropriate balance between their relevance and the feasibility of their implementation, with the help of users.
Compared to the list proposed at the DSS, some modifications are recommended. In particular, it is now proposed to add an additional variable of the economic activity of the local unit where the respondent is employed. The reasons are that this information allows a better characterisation of the employment, specially when combined with occupation and status in employment, and that this information is already collected in a majority of surveys. Two additional dimensions have been introduced in the variables on self declared labour status and status in employment that allow for the discrimination of part time and full time work and on limited or unlimited duration of the employment contract. Such information is seen as a sufficient proxy for a better understanding of the quality of the work, and is also already collected in a majority of surveys.
