Description:

Calculations are based on microdata from the European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS), coordinated by Eurofound. The survey aims to represent the population of all employed persons aged 15 or older.

The question considered is question Q99 from the 2015 EWCS survey in the EWCS Integrated Data File, 1991-2015: Are you, in your household, the person who contributes most to the household income? 1 Yes; 2 No; 3 All equally.

For each response category, the indicator is calculated as the percentage of employed persons who answered the question using this response category out of all respondents who were asked to respond to this question.

The selection of relevant questions from the EWCS surveys to be included in the database was based on the following criteria:

  • Additionality: EWCS questions were included where they provided additional information compared to other data (such as Eurostat data) included in the database;
  • Policy & research relevance: EWCS questions were included where they were judged to be highly policy relevant and/or showed substantial gender variation in data;
  • Recent data: EWCS questions were included only if they were last asked less than ten years ago; and
  • Sufficient sample size: EWCS questions were included only if there was a sufficient number of respondents to allow for response breakdown by EU Member States and gender.
