| Microdata sample characteristics |
| Sample design |
Random sample of 10% population drawn by the country. In Stage 1, three types of households are excluded before sampling: 1) Institutional households (0.7% of whole population), 2) private households living in collective dwellings, and 3) private households living in non-conventional dwellings. Only households living in a single dwelling are included. In Stage 2, another two types of households are excluded for confidentiality protection purpose: 1) selected households with 7 or more people, and 2) the second household in a randomly selected dwelling. As a result, 9.3% of all private households or 9.15% of total population were selected. |

| Unit definitions |
| Dwellings |
A dwelling is any structurally unified whole intended for residence, with one or more rooms, with or without appropriate auxiliary spaces (kitchen, bathroom, toilet, hallway, larder, etc.) and with at least one separate entrance. |
| Households |
A household is a group of people living together and sharing their income for covering the basic costs of living (accommodation, food, other consumer goods, etc.) or a person living alone. |
| Collective dwellings |
An institutional household is a group of people who live in communities that cannot be determined as family or non-family private households and as a rule live in collective living quarters (old people's homes, convents) but can also live in usual dwellings. Food and accommodation of members of such household are provided by the institution in which they live. |
