Constant characteristics

Abstract

"Variables which are assumed not to change over time are only surveyed once in PASS. However, despite the constant nature of the characteristics in reality, changes in these variables are sometimes possible since, for example, incorrect entries may be corrected in subsequent interviews (e. g. in the case of gender). The following sections provide a brief overview of the constant characteristics that are available in PASS. The intention here is to show the conditions under which the variable was surveyed for the first time and to indicate the dataset in which it can be found. The key variables are disregarded here."
