2021 Summer Data Splash

LIS is happy to announce the following data updates:

• Egypt – EG17 Added to the ERFLIS Database (1 new dataset and 4 revised)
   
  Based on the Memorandum of Understanding between LIS and the Economic Research Forum (ERF), LIS is delighted to announce the inclusion of one more dataset from Egypt. EG17, is based on the ERF Harmonised Household Income and Expenditure Surveys (HHIES) version of the Household Income, Expenditure and Consumption Survey (HIECS) carried out by the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS). Consistency revisions in industry coding have been carried out for the earlier datasets EG99 to EG15.
• Germany – Annualisation of the country series from 1984-2018 for the LIS Database (11 new datasets and 24 revised)
   
  The latest available version of the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) – SOEP-Core v36eu (survey years 1985 to 2019) – provided by the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) has been harmonised for the LIS Database. The German LIS series is now annual from DE84 to DE18, including various new data points (DE86 DE88 DE90 DE92 DE93 DE96 DE97 DE99 DE17 DE18). Besides the adoption of the latest updates by the data provider improving data quality and consistency, the LIS series underwent two major changes. The respondent weight has been implemented in this new version; this weight is 0 for non-respondents, but adjustments by DIW have been carried out in such a way that the response sample is representative for the total German society from DE91 onwards, and for West Germany until DE90. The education module now provides detailed information on highest education level completed (educ_c), separating out general and vocational degrees, as well as various tertiary level degrees.
• Lithuania – LT18 added to the LIS Database (1 new dataset)
   
  One more dataset, LT18 (Wave XI), from the Lithuanian Survey of Income and Living Conditions (SILC) carried out by Statistics Lithuania is now available in the LIS Database. As a result, the annual Lithuanian data now cover the period 2009-2018 in the LIS Database.
• Mexico – MX05/MX06 added to the LIS Database (2 new datasets and 15 revised)
   
  Two more datasets, MX05 (Wave VI) and MX06 (Wave VII), have been added to the Mexican data series in the LIS Database. The datasets are from the Household Income and Expenditure Survey (ENIGH) provided by the National Statistical Institute (INEGI). Various consistency revisions for the Mexican data series were carried out. For MX08 to MX18 the sections of self-employment incomes and household’s loan repayments were revised; also new variable contents for the country-specific variable immigr_c (country of residency 5 years prior the interview) are now available. For MX84 to MX04 revisions refer mostly to the conversion to current currency in net1 (net hourly wage) (MX84, MX89, and MX92), and consistency revisions in own (owned/rented housing).
• Netherlands – Partial annualisation of the country series from 2015-18 for the LIS Database (4 new datasets and 1 revised)
   
  Four more datasets (NL15, NL16, NL17, and NL18) from the Dutch Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) provided by Statistics Netherlands have been added to the LIS Database. A minor revision to NL13 has been applied to the incomes section, with negligible impact on LIS Key Figures.
• Russia – RU18 added to the LIS Database (1 new datasets and 1 revised)
   
  One new dataset from Russia RU18 (Wave XI) has been added to the LIS Database. The dataset is based on the 2019 Survey of the Population Income and participation in Social programs (PIS) carried out by the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat). A minor revision to RU17 has been applied to the incomes section, with negligible impact on LIS Key Figures. With this latest addition the Russian data series in LIS is now annual from RU13 to RU18.
• Slovenia – SI17 added to the LWS Database (1 new dataset and 1 revised)
   
  One more dataset, SI17 (Wave X), has been added to the LWS Database. The dataset is based on the Slovenian Household Finance and Consumption Survey (HFCS) acquired from Bank of Slovenia. Minor technical consistency revisions have been carried out to dataset SI14.
• Spain – ES17 added to the LWS Database (1 new dataset and 5 revised)
   
  One more dataset, ES17 (Wave X), based on the Survey of Household Finances (EFF) acquired from Bank of Spain has been added to the LWS Database. Various consistency revisions for the earlier datasets ES02 to ES14 have been carried out. A few more variables are available in the behavorial variables section.
• United States – US19 added to the LIS Database (1 new dataset and 18 revised)
   
  One more dataset, US19 (Wave XI), has been added to the annual series of CPS-ASEC data in the LIS Database. The CPS-ASEC data is provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) / U.S. Census Bureau . With this release, LIS also provides data on industry following the latest ISIC revision in variable indd1 (industry (21-category ISIC 4), main job) for the years US08 to US19; this slightly affects the recoding of the less detailed industry classifications indb1 (industry (9-category recode)) and inda1 (industry (3-category recode)) that follow now the ISIC rev. 4 industry grouping provided in indd1. Likewise, in US10 to US19 occupation coding now follows ISCO-08 standards in the LIS occupation variables occb1 (occupation (10-category ISCO)) and occa1 (occupation (3-category recode)). Additionally, a consistency correction for occupation has been carried out for the datasets US02 to US18. Additionally, variables ctrybrth (country of birth) and immigr (immigrant (dummy)) are now available also for US93.

• Denmark – DK16 information in the section education is now available.
