Provenance

Information is collected annually in the first 6 months of the year. A representative random sample of private households throughout the country is approached to provide the required information. The survey is voluntary from a respondent’s perspective. Data is required in both cross-sectional (pertaining to a given time in a certain time period) and longitudinal (pertaining to individual-level changes over time) dimensions. Therefore certain households will be surveyed on an annual basis. Further details: https://www.cso.ie/en/methods/socialconditions/silc/
