1. Overview of EU-SILC The EU-SILC consist of four sub datasets: Personal Data (udb_c10p_silc_course) 305 variables; demographics; income; work and unemployment; health Personal Register (udb_c10r_silc_course) 51 variables; includes persons under age 16; demographic information; childcare; immigration; work intensity; person weights; information on proxy interviews Household Data (udb_c10h_silc_course) 218 variables; Income; subjective economic situation; household assets; housing situation Household Register (udb_c10d_silc_course) 10 variables; HH-weight; sampling; NUTS, degree of urbanisation

1.Overview of EU-SILC data UDB 2010 includes the following 30 countries: AT, BE, BG, CY, CZ, DE, DK, EE, ES, FI, FR, GR, HU, IE, IS, IT, LT, LU, LV, MT, NL, NO, PL, PT, RO, SE, SI, SK, UK UDB 2010 covers a total of person records Sample Sizes for individual countries range from 8840 (MT) to (IT)

2. Differences between UDB and training data Training data contains only the following countries 14 countries: AT, BG, CY, CZ, DK, EE, ES, FI, FR, GR, HU, LT, MT, PL For each country a subsample of 1500 households was drawn (exception MT: 1141) Dropped variables: PSU-1; PSU-2; order of selection of PSU; Furthermore the training data contain only households with a maximum of 5 persons  Training data is not a representative sample and thus cannot be used for scientific analysis
