Description

Families in Households Typology (FHT) is a tool for classifying households in survey data based on family relations between their members. The typology was created within the EU and UKRI funded project "Risks, Resources and Inequalities: Increasing Resilience in European Families (rEUsilience)"

The codes (in Stata) are currently available for the following datasets:

  • European Quality of Life Survey (EQLS)
  • European Social Survey (ESS)
  • European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC)
  • Household Budget Survey (HBS)

FHT contains 12 categories (see below) that can be freely aggregated or adjusted.

1 Single adult household

2 Couples

3 Single parents with dependent child

4 Single parents with adult child

5 Couples with dependent children

6 Couples with adult children

7 Single parents with dependent children, grandparents

8 Single parents with adult children, grandparents

9 Couples with dependent children, grandparents
