DOI: 10.5164/IAB.CILS4EU-DE-ADIAB7523.de.en.v1

Summary

The data product CILS4EU-DE-ADIAB is provided cooperatively by the Mannheim Centre for European Social Research (MZES) of the University of Mannheim and the Institute for Employment Research (IAB), Nuremberg. SOEP-CMI-ADIAB consists of the survey data of respondents des „Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Survey in Four European Countries – Germany“ (CILS4EU-DE) and administrative data of the IAB, in case the respondents consented to their records being linked and could be identified in the IAB data. The reduced version (download version) of the CILS4EU and CILS4EU-DE data was made available for the linked data product CILS4EU-DE-ADIAB. The project focuses on analysing the complex processes of integration of young people who have immigrated themselves or have a migrant background. To this end, respondents have been interviewed since 2010 at the age of 14 or 15, which enables integration processes during the transition from youth to adulthood to be documented. The content of the survey includes various indicators of structural, social, cultural and emotional integration, such as educational and labour market success, friendships and partnerships, language skills, attitudes or national and country of origin identification.

This allows the data to be used to analyse the complex causal interaction between various processes of structural, social, cultural and emotional integration.
