Income panel survey: income of households and persons (01-01-2011-01-01-2015)

The Income Panel Survey (IPO) provides information on the income of individuals and households. The income is detailed by composition. For example, income is derived from income from labour, income from own enterprise, income from wealth and various types of benefits, while contributions and taxes have been deducted in order to arrive at disposable income. The IPO also provides information on the position of individuals and households on the income ladder (households: from income year 2011 (asset level 1-1-2012), no asset data will be included in the IPO file because the asset statistics are based on integral data from then on.

Each year, in addition to the sample persons, the persons belonging to his household at the end of the research year are also included in the study, so that information about the household is also available. An annual increase is made for the influx of the population (births and immigration). Income and wealth data are added to the persons in the IPO from various (integral) administrations (mainly from the tax authorities). Some missing data is imputated. In total, 34 files containing more than 1600 variables are processed into the publication file of the IPO, which is included in the DSC. This publication file contains, in addition to publication variables, some of the inputs and auxiliary variables used regularly for plausibility checks or additional analyses. A detailed methodological explanation is included in the report &Documentation Income Panel Research 2001 et seq., version 01 &. This report also mentions what should be taken into account when using the IPO for making (longitudinal) income and wealth data. Users of the IPO file are advised to take extensive note of this report. For an exact description of the operations, please refer to the Ruleburst software. It covers more than 400 pages of text and almost 60 Excel sheets and is broadly provided with explanations for the calculations. ### Population Total population of the Netherlands at the end of the calendar year (de facto the population as of 1 January of the year following the research year).
