Sample of Integrated Labour Market Biographies (SIAB) 1975-2008

Abstract

"The Research Data Centre of the German Federal Employment Agency provides high quality micro data on the German labour market. With the Sample of Integrated Labour Market Biographies (SIAB), it offers a new data set suited for the analysis of individual working careers. Compared to its predecessor, the IAB Employment Samples (IABS), the SIAB contains both a longer observation period and more information on individual labour market histories. It can be regarded as the most comprehensive administrative micro-level data set on employment histories that is currently available for Germany." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
