for each household member. Households provide information on their total consumption expenditure in the Household Questionnaire. The large-scale survey includes questions about family members outside the household, which is one of the CSLC-specific questions. In addition, the long-term care needs and child-care situation are asked in the large-scale survey only.

The Health Questionnaire consists of questions on current health topics; healthcare utilization; doctor visits; hospitalizations; and health behaviors. Combining this questionnaire with the Household Questionnaire and Income Questionnaire, the CSLC makes it possible to display these health characteristics by many demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.

In the Income Questionnaire, annual income in the previous year, by source (wage income, public pension payment, remittance, asset income, etc.), are asked for each household member. In addition, tax and social security premium paid are also reported, which means we can calculate disposable income. There is no other survey in which both annual income and annual taxes paid are available, making this a particular advantage of the CSLC.

The Saving Questionnaire asks for amounts of assets and debt. However, only total values of financial assets are available, and so we cannot decompose the wealth into asset classes. In other words, we cannot observe household portfolio composition.

The Long-term Care Questionnaire collects information about demographic characteristics of care recipients and givers, cause of being a care recipient, types of care, and the cost of care.
