The French data are taken from the statistics on income and living conditions (SILC): the majority of the data are taken from the SILC survey. The amounts for income and social security benefits are then obtained by matching with administrative data (taken from tax and social security sources).

Annual

Data collection was no longer affected by the health crisis in 2023: the classic survey protocol was applied, the survey was conducted entirely face-to-face (with a few rare exceptions, around 2.2%)

The percentage of individual interviews conducted by proxy was 24 % in 2023.
