Integrated Establishment and Individual Data at the FDZ

Integrated establishment and individual data permit simultaneous analyses of the employer and the employee sides. The FDZ currently provides different integrated establishment and individual data:

• LIAB - Linked Employer-Employee Data from the IAB
  The Linked Employer-Employee Data from the IAB (LIAB) allow for simultaneous analysis of the supply and demand sides of the German labour market. For this purpose, the IAB Establishment Panel data are matched with individual data from the IAB, thus providing a linked dataset which comprises data from a representative annual establishment survey as well as personal data generated in labour administration and social security data processing.
  
• Panel “WeLL” – Employee Survey for the Project “Further Training as a Part of Lifelong Learning”
  As part of the project “Further Training as a Part of Lifelong Learning” (WeLL) an extensive innovative dataset is being established which contains information about further vocational training from employers and employees. In a first step the FDZ is now making available the Panel 'WeLL' as scientific use file for external users. This dataset contains the data from the employee survey supplemented by some establishment information.
