The 2nd European User Conference for EU-LFS and EU-SILC provides an international forum for the exchange of research based on EU-LFS or EU-SILC data. An important aim of the conference is to bring together people not only to encourage the discussion within the research community on both substantive and methodological issues, but also to offer researchers the
opportunity to give feedback to Eurostat. Given that the legal bases for EU-LFS and EU-SILC will be revised in the near future the conference offers the unique possibility to discuss needs and wants of the research community with Eurostat.

Conference sessions will focus on income, labour market, household and family as well as methodological topics. In the closing session the perspectives of EU microdata release for research purpose will be presented.
