The Sample of Integrated Labour Market Biographies (Stichprobe der Integrierten Arbeitsmarktbiografien - SIAB) replaces the IAB Employment Sample (IABS) and the Integrated Employment Biographies Sample (IEBS). The SIAB combines the advantages of the IABS – a long observation period– with the advantages of the IEBS in terms of complete employment biographies.
