Mode of data collection: For the variable applying at household level, the mode of data collection is personal interview with the household respondent. For variables applying at individual level, the mode of data collection is personal interview with all current household members aged 6 and over or, if applicable, with each selected respondent. The age refers to the age at the end of the income reference period. Given the type of information to be collected, only personal interviews (proxy interviews as an exception for persons temporarily absent or incapacitated) are allowed. Reference period: The target variables relate to three types of reference periods: Last twelve months: for the variables related to the Participation in cultural and sport event and Formal and informal social participation.

18 HD080: Replacing worn-out furniture Domain/Area Material deprivation/financial stress Reference period Current Household Mode of collection Household respondent Values Yes No - household cannot afford it 3 No - other reason -7 Not applicable: HB00 <03 The term "furniture" corresponds to the objects such as tables, chairs, beds, desks, dressers, cupboards, etc. kept in the dwelling to make it suitable or comfortable for living or working in. Second-hand furniture can be taken into account. This variable is different from the EU-SILC core HS060 Capacity to face unexpected financial expenses which aims to capture problems of shortage of money and where, about the time scale, the focus is on the short term. The list of concerned expenses is also different as this variable HD080 only refers to furniture.

19 PD00: Replace worn-out clothes by some new (not second-hand) ones Domain/Area Transmission type Reference period Material deprivation/basic needs Early and regular Current Personal interview Mode of collection Values Yes No - cannot afford it 3 No - other reason -7 Not applicable: PB00 <03 The focus is on the replacement of the worn out clothes by some new clothes (such as suit, winter coat, pullover, etc.).

Getting together with friends for professional matters only is excluded. The "No - cannot afford it" answer for getting together for a drink/meal refers to the financial exclusion/ deprivation. The "No - other reason" answer for this variable refers to another type of exclusion, namely the social exclusion. This formulation is thought to be more adapted in a cross national perspective because having friends at home is not the main way to have social relation in all countries. This variable aims to take into account the multi-cultural specificities as well as the financial and social aspects of deprivation.
