The IAB Occupational Panel provides a comprehensive database for analysing the characteristics and development of occupations in Germany. The current version of the panel covers the years 2012 to 2022 and is an update of the 2012-2018 Occupational Panel (see documentation). The changes to the first version of the Occupational Panel are listed below. The occupational panel is based on the IAB Employment History (BeH), which contains information on all employees subject to social security contributions and marginal part-time employees. The employment characteristics contained therein are aggregated at the occupational level and summarised as totals or shares, e.g. number of full-time equivalents and persons, shares by age, qualification or gender. The data is aggregated at the level of occupational groups and the requirement level according to the Classification of Occupations 2010 (KldB2010, 3-digit plus 5th digit). For data protection reasons, the dataset only contains information on occupational group-requirement level combinations with more than 100 persons in 2012 (411 of these occupational aggregates in 2012). The data has also been merged with occupational information from previous IAB projects, such as the substitutability potential (Grienberger/Matthes/Paulus 2024), the Digital Tools Index (Genz/Janser/Lehmer 2019) and the Greenness of Jobs Index (Janser 2019/2024). We also provide the occupational panel separately for women and men, as well as aggregations at sectoral and federal state level (also separately for women and men).
