Since 1989 the Survey of Household Income and Wealth (SHIW) has included a panel portion. For the 2003 survey 8,011 households were interviewed with. In this year questionnaire sections on household relationships with banks and intergenerational transfers of assets replaced sections on housework and care for family members and household consumer behaviour. Although the survey was conducted in 2003, the questions pertained to household activities and conditions in 2002.
