2021 Winter Data Splash

LIS is happy to announce the following data updates:

• Australia – AU16/AU18 added to the LIS Database (2 new and 10 revised).
  In addition, the two data points were added to the LWS Database (2 new and 3 revised).
   
  LIS is delighted to announce that two more data points have been added to both the LIS and LWS Databases, namely, AU16 (Wave X) and AU18 (Wave XI). The AU16 dataset is based on the Survey of Income and Housing (SIH) and Household Expenditure Survey carried out by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), while the AU18 dataset is based only on the Survey of Income and Housing (SIH).
  The whole Australian series AU81-AU14 has been reviewed for consistency in the education section.
• Austria – Annualisation of the country series from 2003-2019 for the LIS Database (12 new datasets and 5 revised)
   
  Twelve new datasets have been added from Austria to the LIS Database, namely AT03, AT05, AT06, AT08, AT09, AT11, AT12, AT14, AT15, AT17, AT18, and AT19. The datasets are based on the respective waves of the Austrian Survey on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC), carried out by Statistics Austria.
  The previously available datasets AT04, AT07, AT10, AT13, and AT16 have been re-harmonised, now reflecting the latest harmonisation decisions for the whole annualisation.
• Colombia – Annualisation of the country series from 2001-2020 for the LIS Database (15 new datasets and 5 revised)
   
  Fifteen new datasets are added to the LIS Database; namely CO01, CO02, CO03, CO05, CO06, CO08, CO09, CO11, CO12, CO14, CO15, CO17, CO18, CO19, and CO20. The datasets are from the respective waves of the Household Continuous Survey / Encuesta Continua de Hogares (ECH) for the years 2001 to 2006, and the Great Integrated Household Survey / Gran Encuesta Integrada de Hogares (GEIH) for the years 2007 onwards, both carried out by the National Administrative Department of Statistics / Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística (DANE).
  The previously available datasets CO04, CO07, CO10, CO13, and CO16 have been re-harmonised, now reflecting the latest harmonisation decisions for the whole annualisation. This notably involved the full imputation of the missing incomes for CO04, and, for all four revised datasets, refinements of the methodology to estimate taxes and social contributions.
• Paraguay – Annualisation of the country series from 2002-2020 for the LIS Database, plus PY97 and PY99 (16 new datasets and 6 revised)
   
  Sixteen new datasets are added to the LIS Database from Paraguay, PY97, PY99, PY02, PY03, PY05, PY06, PY08, PY09, PY11, PY12, PY14, PY15, PY17, PY18, PY19, and PY20. These datasets are based on the Continuous Household Survey (EPH) carried out by Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE).
  The previously available datasets PY00, PY04, PY07, PY10, PY13, and PY16 have been revised for consistency, now reflecting the latest harmonisation decisions for the whole annualisation.
• Poland – Annualisation of the country series from 2004-2020 for the LIS Database (12 new datasets and 5 revised)
   
  Twelve new datasets are added from Poland to the LIS Database, PL05, PL06, PL08, PL09, PL11, PL12, PL14, PL15, PL17, PL18, PL19, and PL20. The datasets are based on the respective waves of the Household Budget Survey carried out by the Central Statistical Office (GUS).
  The previously available datasets PL04, PL07, PL10, PL13, PL16 have been re-harmonised, now reflecting the latest harmonisation decisions for the whole annualisation. Due to severe underestimation of reported taxes and social contributions, all variables related to tax and contribution payment are no longer provided, nor added to the household level amounts, hence all incomes are now reported net after deduction of income taxes and contributions.
• Russia – RU19 added to the LIS Database (1 new datasets and 11 revised)
   
  One new dataset from Russia RU19 (Wave XI) has been added to the LIS Database. The dataset is based on the 2020 Survey of the Population Income and participation in Social programs (PIS) carried out by the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat).
  A minor adjustment has been made in variable lfs (main labour force status) in RU17 and RU18.
• Vietnam – VN05/VN07/VN09 added to the LIS Database (3 new and 2 revised)
   
  Three new datasets are added to the LIS Database, VN05, VN07, and VN09. The datasets are based on the Vietnamese Household Living Standards Survey (VHLSS) carried out by the General Statistics Office (GSO) of Vietnam.
  The previously available datasets VN11 and VN13 have been revised re-harmonised, now reflecting the latest harmonisation decisions for the whole annualisation.
  The inclusion of Vietnam is accomplished through the research agreement between the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) and LIS. LIS is grateful for this cooperation that allowed for this valuable addition.
• Estonia – EE16 was revised in the incomes section.
   
  A revision of EE16 has been carried out which affected monetary amounts of child allowances (pi412), unemployment benefits (pi42) and private transfers (hiprivate). The changes have had an effect on some of the LIS Key Figures, most notably the poverty rates of children below 18 years of age.
