European Community Household Panel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Household Panel of the European Community (European Community Household Panel ECHP ) is a multinational long-term study focusing on the economic and social situation of the population. The ECHP was carried out by Eurostat , the statistical office of the European Union.

Between 1994 and 2001, a panel of over 60,000 households (around 5,000 in Germany) with around 130,000 people was examined in eight waves . Not all countries were consistently involved. Austria only joined the second wave when it joined the EU, and Finland joined the third. In part, the ECHP was supplemented by comparable national studies, as summarized in this table:

Since 2003 the ECHP has been replaced by its successor, the EU Statistics on Life and Income ( EU-SILC ).
