It is almost wholly funded by DWP. The FRS collects information from a large, and representative sample of private households in the United Kingdom (prior to 2002, it covered Great Britain only). The interview year runs from April to March.The focus of the survey is on income, and how much comes from the many possible sources (such as employee earnings, self-employed earnings or profits from businesses, and dividends; individual pensions; state benefits, including Universal Credit and the State Pension; and other sources such as savings and investments). Specific items of expenditure, such as rent or mortgage, Council Tax and water bills, are also covered.Many other topics are covered and the dataset has a very wide range of personal characteristics, at the adult or child, family and then household levels. These include education, caring, childcare and disability. The dataset also captures material deprivation, household food security and (new for 2021/22) household food bank usage. The FRS is a national statistic whose results are published on the gov.uk website. It is also possible to create your own tables from FRS data, using DWP’s <a href="https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/webapi/jsf/dataCatalogueExplorer.xhtml">Stat Xplore</a> tool. Further information can be found on the gov.uk <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/family-resources-survey--2" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Family Resources Survey</a> webpage. Secure Access FRS data In addition to the standard End User Licence (EUL) version, Secure Access datasets, containing unrounded data and additional variables, are also available for FRS from 2005/06 onwards - see SN 9256. Prospective users of the Secure Access version of the FRS will need to fulfil additional requirements beyond those associated with the EUL datasets. Full details of the application requirements are available from <a title="Guidance on applying for the Family Resources Survey: Secure Access" href="http://ukdataservice.ac.uk/media/178323/secure_frs_application_guidance.pdf" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Guidance on applying for the Family Resources Survey: Secure Access</a>.FRS, HBAI and PI The FRS underpins the related Households Below Average Income (HBAI) dataset, which focuses on poverty in the UK, and the related Pensioners' Incomes (PI) dataset. The EUL versions of HBAI and PI are held under SNs 5828 and 8503, respectively. The Secure Access versions are held under SN 7196 and 9257 (see above). FRS 2023-24 Alongside the usual topics covered, the 2023-2024 FRS includes new variables on veterans (ex-armed forces, former regulars and reserves); care leavers (where young adults were previously living in care, during their teenage years); and, for the self-employed, length of time in that occupation.  For doctors, we add clarifying variables for NHS vs private earnings streams.  There are new variables on food support from friends/relatives, which complement the existing food bank and household food security set.  2023-2024 also includes Cost of Living Payment variables, including those on certain state benefits and the Warm Homes Discount scheme.The achieved sample was over 16,500 households (28,500+ adults).  A large majority of interviews were face-to-face with a minority being by telephone. The BENUNIT table contains a raft of variables on the new material deprivation question set; see GOV.UK for background. This version of the dataset (End User Licence) adds the DEBT table for the first time this year.  The table contains responses on credit card debt, loan debt, hire purchase debt and store card debt.Please send any feedback directly to the FRS Team Inbox: team.frs@dwp.gov.ukDocumentationMany variables in the data files are fully labelled, but additional details can be found in the frs2324_variable_listing_eul.xlsx document.Main Topics: <ul><li>Work</li><li>Pensions received, pension contributions made</li><li>Income from earnings</li><li>Income from state benefits</li><li>Income from child maintenance</li><li>Income from savings and investments</li><li>Income from grants</li><li>Income from royalties and landlord profits</li><li>Disability, Care, Childcare, Tenure and housing cost (rent/mortgage), and house price </li><li>Material deprivation and household food security/food bank usage/reliance on friends/family </li><li>Nature of employment or self employment, incl SIC and doctor/dentist, director</li><li>Education</li><li>Level of savings</li><li>Level of debt</li></ul> 31 March 202331 March 2024 United Kingdom Families/householdsNational Over 16,500 households from across the UK (over 28,500 adults and several thousand children), all of whom live in private households (i.e. non-communal living).
