The interviews for the sample survey of Italian household income and wealth in 2006 were conducted between March and October 2007.
The sampling scheme is the same as that used in the preceding surveys but with a slightly smaller sample: 7,768 households have been interviewed, compared with 8,012 in 2004. The households are drawn from the registry office records of 355 towns, composed of 19,551 people, of which 13,009 income-earners. The basic questionnaire is more or less identical to the one used in the previous survey. The focus topics include financial literacy, perceived well-being and job satisfaction.
