In Brief

O LIS - Luxembourg Income Study

Comparative international income research via the Internet

The twenty years of Luxembourg Income Study, i.e. LIS, will be celebrated in a symposium in Luxembourg next year. At the same time Finns have reason to celebrate their 10-year participation in the project.

When two "lissified" data sets from Slovenia become available, LIS will contain harmonised and standardised household income data from 27 countries. Some countries have data starting from the 1960s, many have data from several different years and all member countries have material from at least two separate years.

The LIS project began in 1983 and Finland began to participate in 1993. The Finnish LIS microdata is provided by Statistics Finland; the supporting agency is Åbo Akademi University. FSD has been responsible for the annual national LIS membership fee since 2001.
