Methoden- und Feldbericht zum IAB-Betriebspanel - Welle 29 (2021)

Abstract

"The population of the IAB Establishment Panel comprises all establishments with at least one employee subject to social insurance contributions as of the reference date 30 June of the previous year. The basis for sampling is the Federal Employment Agency establishment file. This contains all the establishments that in the context of the social security registration process notify the social security agencies of their employees who are subject to social insurance contributions, and are given an establishment number. As of the reference date 30 June 2020 the establishment file contained 2,125,638 establishments belonging to the population (427,588 for eastern Germany and 1,698,050 for western Germany), with a total of 33,255 thousand employees subject to social insurance contributions. Establishments without employees subject to social insurance contributions, for example one-person establishments or establishments only with marginal employment or employing only civil servants, are not covered by the IAB Establishment Panel. For this reason, for example the national accounts exhibit distinctly more people employed than the IAB Establishment Panel." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
