The 4th European User Conference for EU-Microdata provides an international forum for the exchange of research based on European Union Statistics on Income & Living Conditions (SILC), European Labour Force Survey (LFS), Adult Education Survey (AES), Structure of Earnings Survey (SES), Community Innovation Survey (CIS), European Health Interview Survey (EHIS), and Household Budget Survey (HBS) data.
An important aim of the conference is to bring together people not only to encourage the discussion within the research community on both substantive and methodological issues, but also to offer researchers the opportunity to give feedback to Eurostat. The conference offers the possibility to discuss needs and wants of the research community with Eurostat. Researchers of all disciplines who are interested either in EU-LFS, EU-SILC or other European microdata disseminated by Eurostat are encouraged to participate.
Conference sessions will focus on effects of social policies, migration, household and family, education, labour market issues, income as well as on methodological topics. Moreover research regarding the measurement of material deprivation will be presented as well as work towards longitudinal analyses based on LFS. Furthermore there will be a live-demonstration of MISSY, an online information system for European microdata.
The final programme can be downloaded here.
The presentation slides will be available after the conference on the conference website managed by the host organization GESIS.
