Earnings Analysis using Administrative Data Sources
The Earnings Analysis using Administrative Data Sources (EAADS) presents statistics on earnings based on administrative data sources. It provides information on the structure of earnings including analysis by employer and employee characteristics, including Economic Sector, Firm Size, Gender, Age Group, Nationality and Region of Residence.
Data for the EAADS is obtained under Section 30 of the Statistics Act 1993.
The EAADS data is also used to meet our 4 yearly requirements for Structure of Earnings Statistics under COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 530/1999.
Data from the EAADS informs the public, the research community and policy makers. It supports evidence based decision making and public policy development.
All information supplied to the CSO is treated as strictly confidential. The Statistics Act 1993 sets stringent confidentiality standards: information collected may be used only for statistical purposes and no details that might be related to an identifiable person or business undertaking may be divulged to any other government department or body.
The EAADS is based largely on analysis of administrative data provided to the CSO by the Revenue Commissioners (Gross Annual Pay, PRSI class, Pay frequency) and Department of Social Protection (Gender, Nationality, County of Residence, Age).
