About the Study

The Household Budget Survey is a survey of a representative random sample of all private households in the State.
The main purpose of the HBS is to determine in detail the pattern of household expenditure in order to update the weighting basis of the Consumer Price Index. It gives an average weekly household expenditure.
Information was collected from October 2022 to October 2023. The achieved sample size for HBS 2022-2023 was 1,737 households.
The data collection process was carried out by a team of Field Interviewers. Each household that participated in the HBS completed a detailed household questionnaire and each household member aged 16 years and over completed a personal questionnaire. Data capture for both personal and household questionnaires was by means of CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing). All household members aged 16 and over were also required to fill in a paper diary over a two-week period, detailing their day-to-day personal expenditure over this period plus their regular outgoings such as utilities, television subscriptions, car insurance and direct debits.

SN: 0020-05 - Growing up In Ireland Cohort ’98 (Child Cohort) Wave 5 - 25 years, 2023

About the Study

Growing Up in Ireland - the National Longitudinal Study of Children is a landmark study of children and youth which has been running since 2006. The objectives of the study are outlined in a separate publication (Greene et al. 2010). In summary the project seeks to further our understanding of what it means to be a child or young person growing up in modern Ireland, with a view to informing policy on what both helps and hinders development. A two cohort, cross-sequential longitudinal design was adopted and began with one cohort (Cohort 08) of 11,134 infants (aged 9 months) and a second cohort (Cohort 98) of 8,568 9-year-olds. A third cohort (Cohort 24) will follow infants from age 9 months. Being longitudinal in nature, the same children are followed over time. The families of Cohort 08 have been interviewed when the children were 9 months, 3 years, 5 years, 7/8 years, 9 years and subsequently at 13 years of age, while Cohort 98 and their parents/guardians were interviewed at 9, 13, 17/18 and 20 years of age. This dataset relates to Wave 5 of Cohort 98 when respondents were 25 years old.
