This book explains harmonisation techniques that can be used in
survey research to align national systems of categories and
definitions in such a way that comparison is possible across
countries and cultures. It provides an introduction to instruments
for collecting internationally comparable data of interest to
survey researchers. It shows how seven key demographic and
socio-economic variables can be harmonised and employed in European
comparative surveys. The seven key variables discussed in detail
are: education, occupation, income, activity status, private
household, ethnicity, and family. These demographic and
socio-economic variables are background variables that no survey
can do without. They frequently have the greatest explanatory
capacity to analyse social structures, and are a mirror image of
the way societies are organised nationally. This becomes readily
apparent when one attempts, for example, to compare national
education systems. Moreover, a comparison of the national
definitions of concepts such as "private household" reveals several
different historically and culturally shaped underlying concepts.
Indeed, some European countries do not even have a word forÂ
"private household". Hence such national definitions and categories
cannot simply be translated from one culture to another. They must
be harmonised.   ​
