"Changes Compared to 2018: Some questions are asked not annually but every two or more years. Within the frame-work of this modular system a number of questions were removed from the questionnaire in wave 27 and others were included. Outside the modular system a number of new questions have been included. This year, these were questions about the use of robots and the training section was extended (reasons for the termination of training contracts, benefits in non-cash and cash benefits for trainees). The sample of establishments surveyed for the first time was almost completely switched to a computer-assisted survey mode. Since the end of May 2018, the EU Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been directly applicable in all EU member states. Against this background, in the 2018 wave, the consent of the establishments was collected at the end of the questionnaire for a renewed contact in the follow-up wave in 2019 by Kantar (Art. 6 para. 1 a, DSGVO). For this reason, the sample of panel establishments was approximately 10 percent smaller than in the 2018 survey year. This loss was offset by an increased gross input in the sample of establishments surveyed for the first time. For detailed information on the sample. For a number of questions, the coding of missing values has changed from previous years. The code "-1" now assigned means that this is not a conventional missing value, but rather response options ("cannot say (yet)", "not known") offered in the questionnaire in the event that information cannot (yet) be provided for content-related reasons. These are the questions ba06a, ba17, ba18, ba72, ba73, ba86a and ba86b." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
