European Union Survey of Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC), 2015
No full textThe Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) in Ireland is a household survey covering a broad range of issues in relation to income and living conditions. It is the official source of data on household and individual income and also provides a number of key national poverty indicators, such as the ‘at risk of poverty’ rate, the consistent poverty rate and rates of enforced deprivation. The primary focus of the Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) is the collection of information on the income and living conditions of different types of households in Ireland, in order to derive indicators on poverty, deprivation and social exclusion. It is a voluntary survey of private households. The SILC Anonymised Microdata File (AMF) contains both personal and household level data. Household data is at present duplicated for each member of the household. If performing household level analysis, please be aware of this and subset the data to include a single entry per household (interview_hh = 1). Please note: In 2020 AMF was revised to be more in line with the SILC RMF. Variables were renamed in accordance with Eurostats Doc65, which provides methodological guidelines and description of EU-SILC target variables. The target variables within the AMF are data on household and individual income as well as a number of key national poverty indicators, therefore variables identified as being not relevant to SILC were removed from the AMF. Furthermore, additional statistical disclosure controls were also implemented in the revisions so as to adhere to updates of the Legislation, Governance & Data Policies of the CSO. Please note: SILC AMF data is cross-sectional microdata in which household and/or individuals cannot be tracked over time. The household id variables in each cross sectional file are randomly generated and cannot be linked between yearly datasets
Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) Module on Caring, Q3 2009
No full textThe Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) began in September 1997 and ran until Q2 2017 when it was replaced by the Labour Force Survey (LFS). While the main purpose of the QNHS was the production of quarterly labour force estimates, the QHNS also conducted special modules on different social topics each quarter. The questions on caring were included in the Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) in the three months from July 2009 to September 2009 (Quarter 3 2009). This module was requested by, and developed in consultation with, the social partners. The focus of the module was on those providing unpaid informal care and not those receiving care. The questions asked about the extent and nature of caring provided as well as the impact of caring on the life of the carer. Please note that due to CSO restrictions, these files cannot be matched to their associated microdata files

Eurostudent VIII: Ireland 2022
No full textThe main aim of the EUROSTUDENT project is to collate comparable data from 30 countries on the social dimension of European higher education. It focuses on the socio-economic background and on the living conditions of students. It also investigates other interesting aspects of student life such as international mobility and employment during term-time. The core project provides reliable and insightful cross-country comparisons (disseminated through www.eurostudent.eu) but this report provides results from over 20,000 students attending higher education institutions in Ireland. The survey is co-ordinated in Europe by the German Federal Ministry of Education and marks the eighth such survey of its kind. Ireland is one of 30 countries which participated in the Eurostudent VIII survey, and this report continues the initiative of previous Eurostudent reports through extensively analysing the characteristics of students studying in Ireland by examining the demographic profile of the student population, the courses they are undertaking, their income and expenditure, their accommodation and employment, the route they took into higher education and the extent to which they study abroad as part of their programme. The valid survey-responses were weighted to reflect the known population parameters of inter-locked gender, age, qualification, status (full/part-time) and by type of institution.<br
StudentSurvey.ie (Irish Survey of Student Engagement), 2019
No full textThe central aim of StudentSurvey.ie (Irish Survey of Student Engagement, formerly known by the acronym “ISSE”) is to develop a valuable source of information about students’ experiences of higher education in Ireland. The results of the survey are intended primarily to add value at institutional level, and to inform national policy. A detailed online survey was offered to first year undergraduates, final year undergraduates and postgraduate students on taught programmes. Data are presented as responses to individual items and as calculated scores for nine indicators that relate to broad aspects of student engagement, such as Collaborative Learning and Higher Order Learning. StudentSurvey.ie has formative links with the US National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) and the Australasian Survey of Student Engagement (AUSSE). Thus, Irish data can be evaluated in the context of other jurisdictions in addition to the national or sector contexts. Note that a there was a substantial revision of questions deployed in 2016 results in the fact that 2018, 2017 and 2016 data may be compared directly, but do not fully compare to data from previous years. The term ‘student engagement’ is used in educational contexts to refer to a range of related, but distinct, understandings of the interaction between students and the higher education institutions they attend. Most, if not all, interpretations of student engagement are based on the extent to which students actively avail of opportunities to involve themselves in ‘educationally beneficial’ activities and the extent to which institutions enable, facilitate and encourage such involvement. StudentSurvey.ie focuses on students’ engagement with their learning and their learning environments. It does not directly explore, for example, students’ involvement in quality assurance or in institutional decision-making. Measuring engagement can provide a means to develop a fuller understanding of the student experience above and beyond that ascertained through surveys of student satisfaction alone. A total of 40,558 students from twenty seven institutions responded to the survey which was undertaken in February – March 2019
Labour Force Survey (LFS), 2007
No full textThe Labour Force Survey (LFS) is a large-scale, nationwide survey of households in Ireland conducted by the Central Statistics Office. It is designed to produce quarterly labour force estimates that include the official measure of employment and unemployment in the state (ILO basis). This survey replaced the Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) from Q3 2017. The QNHS began in September 1997, replacing the annual April Labour Force Survey (LFS). Each quarter the LFS produces data among others on: Numbers unemployed Persons in employment Labour force participation rates Inactive population (not in the labour force) Sectoral breakdown (Nace Rev. 2) of those in employment Breakdown of headline data by age, sex and region Persons in employment classified by occupation Seasonally adjusted headline series Data on family compositio
CER Smart Metering Project - Electricity Customer Behaviour Trial, 2009-2010
No full textThe CER initiated the Smart Metering Project in 2007 with the purpose of undertaking trials to assess the performance of Smart Meters, their impact on consumers’ energy consumption and the economic case for a wider national rollout. It is a collaborative energy industry-wide project managed by the CER and actively involving energy industry participants including the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources (DCENR), ESB Networks, Bord Gáis Networks, Electric Ireland, Bord Gáis Energy and other energy suppliers. The Smart Metering Electricity Customer Behaviour Trials (CBTs) took place during 2009 and 2010 with over 5,000 Irish homes and businesses participating. The purpose of the trials was to assess the impact on consumer’s electricity consumption in order to inform the cost-benefit analysis for a national rollout. Electric Ireland residential and business customers, and Bord Gáis Energy business customers, who participated in the trials had an electricity smart meter installed in their homes/premises and agreed to take part in research to help establish how smart metering can help shape energy usage behaviours across a variety of demographics, lifestyles and home sizes
Living in Ireland Survey (LII), 1994 - 2001
No full textThe Living in Ireland Survey formed the Irish component of the European Community Household Panel (ECHP): an EU-wide project, co-ordinated by Eurostat, to conduct harmonised longitudinal surveys dealing the social situation, financial circumstances and living standards of European individuals and households. The fact that the same set of households were interviewed each year meant that it was possible to study changes in the characteristics and circumstances of particular households or individuals over time. Living in Ireland provides harmonised cross-sectional surveys for each year in which the survey is conducted, as well as longitudinal data, which permits dynamic analysis of changes over time. The first wave of the ECHP was conducted in 1994, and the same individuals and households were followed each year. The survey ran for eight waves, until 2001. EU-SILC (Survey of Income and Living Conditions) commenced in 2003, and is the successor survey to the Living In Ireland dataset. Survey Structure The Living in Ireland Survey involves a household questionnaire which is completed by the ‘reference person’ or person responsible for the accommodation, and an individual questionnaire which is completed by each adult (age 16 or over) in the household. The individual questionnaires in 1994 were administered to each member born in 1977 or earlier. This ‘cut-off’ year was updated in each wave of the survey, so that it by 2001 all household members born in 1984 or earlier were eligible for individual interview
The Irish Survey of Student Engagement (ISSE), 2017
No full textThe central aim of Irish Survey of Student Engagement (ISSE) is to develop a valuable source of information about students’ experiences of higher education in Ireland. The results of the survey are intended primarily to add value at institutional level, and to inform national policy. A detailed online survey was offered to first year undergraduates, final year undergraduates and postgraduate students on taught programmes. Data are presented as responses to individual items and as calculated scores for eleven indices that relate to broad aspects of student engagement, such as Collaborative Learning and Higher Order Learning. The ISSE has formative links with the US National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) and the Australasian Survey of Student Engagement (AUSSE). Thus, Irish data can be evaluated in the context of other jurisdictions in addition to the national or sector contexts. Note that a there was a substantial revision of questions deployed in 2016 which limits the extent to which 2016 data may be compared to data from previous years. Student engagement may be defined as students’ involvement in activities and environments that are likely to generate high-quality learning. Students are ultimately responsible for their own learning but this depends on institutions and staff creating an Page 4 environment that encourages and promotes student involvement in educationally-relevant activities. Student engagement with higher education is seen as being enhanced through exposing students to a high quality learning environment. Measuring engagement can provide a means to develop a fuller understanding of the student experience above and beyond that ascertained through surveys of student satisfaction alone. More than 35,800 students from twenty seven institutions responded to the survey which was undertaken in February – March 2017
