EU-SILC revision & improvements The ongoing revision of EU-SILC is part of the modernisation of social statistics The multidimensional aspect of living conditions and social inclusion / exclusion is also a key driver of the EU-SILC revision EU-SILC is a complex survey involving different challenging methodological problems ➜ The contribution from researchers is therefore a vital element for improving EU-SILC (variance, material deprivation, now-casting) UNECE seminar on poverty measurement, 5-6/05/2015 3

Conclusions The expectations on high quality and timely data to analyse the social situation have increased among users as a consequence of the economic crisis EU-SILC is in this context particularly solicited The revision of EU-SILC tries to respond to these demands; some elements are already being implemented in the current EU-SILC This process tackles also some specific aspects of EU-SILC needing improvements The complexity of EU-SILC makes also indispensable the use of tools developed by researchers UNECE seminar on poverty measurement, 5-6/05/
