In SILC, weights are applied to the data to ensure the results are reflective of the population as a whole. In 2025, the SILC Enforced Deprivation publication was released early, before the income data was fully processed, to provide more timely statistics on households. Following the processing of the income data and coherence checks with administrative data sources, the weights used for SILC 2025 data have been refined. Adjustments were made in the non-response process and the calibration boundaries, reducing the variance of the weights and improving the accuracy of the estimates.
As a result, estimates contained in the SILC 2025 Enforced Deprivation publication have been revised. Please see the information note which compares published and revised results.
