IAB-SOEP-Migration - 2023: Sampling, Nonresponse, and Weighting in Sample M8c

Abstract

"This paper provides details on the sampling design, the fieldwork, as well as nonresponse and population adjustments for the 2023 sample M8c. The survey is conducted in cooperation between the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) and the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). Sample M8c contributes to the IAB-SOEP-Migration Samples. It augments the IAB-SOEP-Migration samples M8a and M8b by adding 970 households of foreigners from foreign countries to allow for evaluating the Skilled Labor Immigration Act (Fachkräfteeinwanderungsgesetz). The act came into effect on March 1, 2020. Its goal is to facilitate the immigration of skilled workers from non-EU countries to Germany." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
