Abstract

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the extent to which official
surveys on household economics offer insight on the economic
dynamics of households and specifically, the similarities and differences
between men and women in regard to household economics.
We present the results of a study examining methodological documents
and questionnaires used for data collection for the Statistics on Income
and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) and the Household Budget Survey
(HBS), the two principal Spanish surveys on domestic economics.
Analyses revealed the theoretical and methodological biases underlying
the design of these two surveys, as well as data gaps and limitations
occurring in their design and in the statistical analyses carried out based
on their data.
