NSO Context
Step 1 of 6Tell us about your statistical context. This determines which standards apply and which adaptations are available.
EU / EEA Member
Bound by Reg (EU) 2024/2887. Mandatory 2026 DPE module.
EU Candidate / EFTA
Aligning with Eurostat standards. Voluntary participation in DPE.
Non-EU NSO
ILO/OECD Handbook approach. Full flexibility in design.
2026 (mandatory)
Aligned with EU DPE ad hoc subject cycle.
Pilot / Exploratory
Test on subsample before full rollout.
Future planning
Scoping for a future survey cycle.

Standard & Scope
Step 2 of 6Select the methodological standard and define the scope of your DPE measurement.
Eurostat 2026 Module
Reg 2024/2887
11 mandatory variables. Full geographical coverage EU/EEA. Obligatory for Member States.
Eurostat Pilot 2022
Experimental
13 variables (DPE01–DPE13). Tested in 17 countries. Good baseline for non-EU adoption.
ILO–OECD–Eurostat Handbook
2023
Broadest international framework. Recommended for non-EU NSOs seeking global comparability.
Custom / Hybrid
Combine elements from multiple standards. Full manual selection in Step 3.

Variable Selection
Step 3 of 6Review and configure the DPE variables. Toggle inclusion for each variable based on your survey capacity and policy priorities.
Submodule 1
Identification — Platform work in last 12 months
Filter: AGE 15–64, all LFS respondents
| Variable | Description | Status | Include |
|---|
Submodule 2
Characteristics — Hours, income, social insurance
Filter: at least one DPE01 = Yes
| Variable | Description | Status | Include |
|---|
Submodule 3
Organisation — Assignment, autonomy, price
Filter: DPE02 ≠ 0 hours (last month)
| Variable | Description | Status | Include |

Module Placement in LFS Flow
Step 4 of 6Choose where the DPE module attaches within the Labour Status Module flow. The placement affects filter logic, respondent burden, and data linkage to core LFS variables.
EU-LFS Labour Status Module — Attachment Points
All persons aged 15–64
Submodule: At work (WKSTAT)
⬅ Option A
After Employment Status (EMPSTAT)
Captures all — employed + not employed. Broader coverage.
Submodule: Small/casual jobs (C1)
⬅ Option B
Extend Small/Casual Jobs (C1)
Natural fit — platforms already listed as examples. Low burden uplift.
NUMJOB / Second jobs
Main job characteristics (STAPRO, NACE, ISCO…)
⬅ Option C
After MAINCLNT / VARITIME
Targets self-employed only (STAPRO=1,2). Best for dependent contractor analysis.
⬅ Option D
Standalone ad hoc module (Eurostat standard)
Separate block after core LFS. Recommended by Reg 2024/2887 for 2026.

Classification Linkage
Step 5 of 6Mapping of selected platform work variables to NACE Rev. 2, ISIC Rev. 4, and ISCO-08. Use this table to configure automated coding rules in CAPI/Blaise/CSPro and to verify consistency with core LFS industry and occupation fields.
For CAPI/Blaise developers: Where a variable has a direct NACE/ISIC/ISCO assignment, the system should automatically populate the corresponding background fields when the respondent confirms that activity as their main platform work (
PLWORK_MAIN or DPE08). Variables marked "Inherited" derive their codes from whichever activity variable is the main one.
| Variable | Concept | NACE Rev. 2 | ISIC Rev. 4 | ISCO-08 | Automation / Blaise rule |
|---|
⚠ NACE Rev. 2 applies to EU/EEA Member States. Non-EU NSOs should use ISIC Rev. 4 directly. ISCO-08 codes apply universally. Variable identifiers shown are national implementation identifiers — verify alignment with your chosen standard (Reg 2024/2887 or Pilot 2022) before CAPI programming.
