Beschreibung

"The IAB Job Vacancy Survey is a quarterly and representative establishment survey on labour demand and recruitment processes in Germany. The survey identifies the overall stock of vacancies in the German labour market, including those vacancies that are not reported to the Federal Employment Agency (FEA). The first module of the questionnaire collects information about the number and structure of vacancies, future personnel requirements, about the current economic situation and the expected development of participating establishments. The second module enquires employer attitudes and firm use of current labour market instruments as well as the employer handling of persons disadvantaged in the labor market. The third module questionnaire asks for information about the last new hiring and the last case of a failed recruitment effort. The Research Data Centre of the Federal Employment Agency offers the data sets of the survey waves from 2000 onwards." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
