Slide 20: Please don't worry about details in this slide here: The message here just the following one: EHIS is not far away from a harmonisation with the Integrated European Social Statistics regulation. We will have to add two new variables into EHIS: 12 Participation in formal education & training and 13 Level of current/most recent formal education and could remove 3 variables from EHIS: 18 Legal marital status, 20 Number of persons aged 13 or younger and 22 Net monthly equalised income of the household to be fully compliant with the IESS regulation. √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √
