11873_2002 Study D2: Poverty, Informal Sector, Health and Labour 6.2. Poverty Sources NSSG, Household Surveys [This is the main statistical source, appearing at four to five years’ intervals, from which one can calculate income distribution and poverty, on the basis of income or expenditure. The figures given in this publication have some advantages of better accuracy compared to the European Community Household Panel (ECHP). This is because, as we maintained earlier, in a country like Greece, at least some of the incomes generated in the still considerable small agriculture and the related self-consumption, the seasonal employment of farmers and the incomes in the significant unregistered economic activity, as well as the value of the high owneroccupied housing, are calculated in the Greek Household Survey but not in the European.] Ministry of Finance, Internal Revenue Service [The taxation figures of the Internal Revenue Service can and, on occasion, have been used in research on income distribution and poverty. However, using these data, one runs the risk of getting a gravely distorted picture of income distribution and poverty due to the high income tax evasion of the more wealthy people.] Eurostat, European Social Statistics: Income, poverty and Social Exclusion, Luxembourg, EC Eurostat Task Force, Recommendations on Social Exclusion and Poverty Statistics, CPS 98/31/2, December 1998, Eurostat, Luxembourg, 1998.
