European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions explained

The European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions, (also known as European Union Survey on Income and Living Conditions) abbreviated EU-SILC, is a survey department of the EU.In 2004, it replaced the European Community Household Panel (ECHP), which covered the years 1994–2003. The EU-SILC includes only minor changes relative to its predecessor the ECHP; most importantly, it significantly expands the number of countries included in the sample.
