Data Resource Profile: Panel Study Labour Market and Social Security (PASS)

Abstract

"Data Resource Basics The Panel Study Labour Market and Social Security (PASS), is a household panel survey of the German residential population oversampling households receiving welfare benefits. PASS is primarily designed as a data source for research into the labour market, poverty and the welfare state. However, there is a focus on the social consequences of poverty and unemployment including social exclusion and health outcomes. Within each sampled household the head of the household is requested to complete a household questionnaire. Subsequently all household members aged 15 or older are targeted with a person questionnaire. Data have been collected every year since 2006/07. Currently ten waves of data are available to researchers, while the eleventh wave is prepared for release." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
