PASS-ADIAB - linked survey and administrative data for research on unemployment and poverty

Abstract

"We present a dataset called 'PASS-ADIAB - PASS survey data linked to administrative data of the IAB' which integrates survey data from the household panel study 'Labour Market and Social Security' PASS, see (Trappmann et?al., 2013) with administrative labour market biographies from registers at the German Federal Employment Agency (BA) using record linkage techniques. The dataset is provided by the Research Data Centre (FDZ) of the Federal Employment Agency at the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) and is available for on-site use as well as through remote data access. Combining the two data sources enhances research opportunities for a wide range of socioeconomic topics, especially in the fields of unemployment and poverty research. PASS provides ten waves of survey data from household and individual interviews on a wide variety of issues relating to the socioeconomic situation. Administrative biographies complement these data with the full history of individual labour market records concerning employment, unemployment, programme participation etc." (Author's abstract, © De Gruyter) ((en))
