Statistics in Focus: Population and social conditions. Housing conditions of the elderly in the EU. 1999.

Abstract

Since December 1998, direct access to a user-friendly longitudinal users' database containing "anonymised" ECHP household's and personal micro-data is possible through ECHP research contracts stipulating the strict conditions of data access and use. The previous edition of our Newsletter was entirely devoted to this key issue of ECHP data availability, and in particular the latest developments in data anonymisation and dissemination. The main focus of the present edition is on the first ECHP large-scale publication ("European Community Household Panel (ECHP): Selected indicators from the 1995 wave"), which will appear in June/July this year and should whet the appetite of numerous users and encourage an extensive use of this unique data-set.
