Biographical data of social insurance agencies in Germany

Abstract

"In the project Biographical Data of Social Insurance Agencies in Germany (BASiD), assisted by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, German administrative data on individuals of two social security agencies, namely the German Federal Employment Agency (BA) and the German Pension Insurance (GRV), were merged. The focus was to create an innovative adjusted dataset via the integration of multiple data sources and to improve the quality as well as the content of administrative data. The developed dataset is provided to the scientific community worldwide as a Scientific Use File as well as a weakly anonymous dataset accessible by on-site use. The remainder of the article is designated to detail a description of the current version of the weakly anonymous BASiD data." (Text excerpt, IAB-Doku) ((en))
