It also gives some first results from the survey. The survey implementation started in 2020 and data collection takes place over the 2020-2023 period (wave 2021) based on national timetables.

The first results covered in this publication include the countries who have finalized data collection in September 2022, while EU-wide data will be disseminated at the end of 2023.
