2025 Autumn Data Splash
LIS is happy to announce the following data updates:
- France (2 new LIS datasets and 23 revised) – Addition of FR21 and FR22 to the LIS Database.
Read more »Two new datasets from France (FR21 and FR22) have been added to the LIS Database. The datasets are based on the Tax and Social Incomes Survey (ERFS), conducted by the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE). In addition, many datasets of the existing series have been revised to incorporate several improvements. FR98-FR20: The General Social Contribution on capital income, previously recorded under private transfers (hiprivate), is now recorded together with the capital incomes they relate to hi21 (interest and dividends) and hicapital (capital income). This reallocation has no effect on hitotal (total income) or dhi (disposable household income). FR19 and FR20: The 100€ “indemnité inflation” (a one-time payment to most working-age people earning below a certain income threshold) has been moved from pi11 (wage income) to hipubsoc (public social benefits (excl. pensions)). Minor revisions were also made to the calculation of social security contributions for the self-employed workers, resulting in small adjustments to pxitsc (income taxes and contributions), pi12 (self-employment income), and the corresponding upper level variables until dhi (disposable household income). - Germany (2 new LIS datasets and 37 revised; 4 revised LWS datasets) – Update of the LIS series for DE21 and DE22 and revision based on SOEP-Core v40.1eu Edition.

Two new datasets from Germany have been added to the LIS Database (DE21 and DE22). The data are harmonised from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) and the German series DE84 to DE22 in LIS now aligns with the SOEP-Core v40.1eu edition provided by the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW), superseding the previous release that relied on v38.1eu edition. This new version implements besides the improved weighting and income imputation for non-respondents revised variables for edmom_c / eddad_c (mother’s / father’s highest education level). Information on parents country origin (immigr_c) is now available for the entire GSOEP series.
Revisions of the LWS series
The previous released datasets from the GSOEP series DE02-DE17 have been updated to reflect the improvements in the latest version v40.1eu edition by DIW, mostly concerning the update of the imputation of incomes for non-respondents. The balance sheet amounts are not concerned by this update. - India (4 new LWS datasets) – NEW country! Addition of IN91, IN02, IN12, IN18 to the LWS Database.
Read more »One new country has been added to the LWS Database: India. Four LWS datasets from have been harmonised and added (IN91, IN02, IN12, IN18) — these are based on the All India Debt and Investment Survey (AIDIS) and the related National Sample Survey (NSS) rounds carried out by the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO), Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI). - Luxembourg (2 new LIS datasets and 6 revised) – Addition of LU22 and LU23 to the LIS Database.
Read more »Two new datasets from Luxembourg have been added to the LIS Database (LU22 and LU23). The data are based on the Socio-economic Panel “Living in Luxembourg” / Panel socio-économique “Liewen zu Letzebuerg“ (PSELL III), from which is also created the Survey on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC). The data are provided by the National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (STATEC).
The datasets LU15-LU18, and LU21 and LU22 have been revised for consistency. In LU15-LU18 public contributory pensions (pi32) were revised for a small number of individuals which had an impact on the poverty rate of elderly in LU15-LU17, decreasing it slightly. Minor consistency revisions were carried out in LU21 and LU22 which do not affect the LIS Key Figures. - Switzerland (3 new LIS datasets and 14 revised) – Annualisation to CH22 in the LIS Database.
Read more »Three new datasets from Switzerland have been added to the LIS Database (CH20, CH21, and CH22). The datasets are based on the Swiss Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) from the Swiss Federal Statistical Office (FSO). Revisions to the earlier datasets CH06-CH19 concern the variable wexptl (total work experience), where additional ‘0 years work experience’ values were placed. - United Kingdom (1 new LWS dataset and 7 revised) – Addition of UK21 to the LWS Database.
Read more »One new LWS dataset from the UK has been added (UK21 ). The dataset is harmonised from the Wealth and Assets Survey (WAS) produced by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The previous datasets of the UK wealth series (UK07, UK09, UK11, UK13, UK15, UK17, and UK19) were revised following changes in the methodology introduced by the UK Office for National Statistics (ONS) to estimate defined benefit (DB) pension wealth. Because revised estimates for earlier waves have not yet been produced using the new approach, the variable hasodb (defined benefit occupational pensions) was emptied in all these datasets. As a result, the variables inw (integrated net worth) and haso (occupational pensions) differ from their values in previous releases of the LWS UK data. For more information see Compare.It.
In addition, the UK19 dataset was revised to ensure consistency with other UK waves in the treatment of public transfers. Specifically, the variables hpub_i (insurance transfers) and hpublic (public transfers) were adjusted. - Uruguay (2 new LIS datasets and 15 revised) – Addition of UY23 and UY24 to the LIS Database.
Read more »Two new datasets from Uruguay have been added to the LIS Database (UY23 and UY24). The datasets are based on the Continuous Household Survey (ECH) from the Uruguayan National Institute of Statistics (INE).
The datasets UY06 to UY22 have been slightly revised. The variable nrooms (number of rooms available in the household) is now included in UY22. In addition, the variable disabled (indication of disability) was constructed for all datasets from UY06 to UY18, based on an approximation using the type of pensions received. The income section has been marginally revised for UY13-UY22, with little to no effect on the LIS Key Figures.
