The survey is conducted in April every year. In accordance with the requirements set up in the European Commission regulations, the survey covers households in the whole country (with at least one person aged 16-74) and all persons aged 16-74 living in those households. The survey excludes persons living in collective accommodation establishments such as student dormitories, employee hostels, social welfare homes, convents, hospitals, barracks, prisons etc. Foreigners may participate in the survey as long as they be able to speak Polish.
