The employment duration of workers in temporary help agencies is seen as an important indicator of their job quality. Most of the countries that regulate temporary agency employment do so to ensure at least a minimal level of employment stability. Over the past three decades Germany has repeatedly liberalized the law on temporary agency employment. These successive reforms should have affected the employment duration in the temporary employment sector. Applying a mixed proportional hazard rate model to administrative data, the authors examine whether employment duration changed in response to these reforms. They find that successive extensions of the maximum assignment period significantly increased average employment duration, while “liberalizing” legislation, such as that allowing fixed-term contracts, tended to reduce it.
Collecting life course data is increasingly common in social and epidemiological research, either through record linkage of administrative data or by collecting retrospective interview data. This paper uses data on employment histories collected through both strategies, compares the attained samples, and investigates levels of agreements of individual histories. We use data from the German Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study with information on employment histories collected retrospectively from 2011 until 2014 (N = 3059). Administrative data from the German Institute for Employment Research (IAB) were linked to the survey data. After comparing respondents who provide self-reported histories with the subsample of the ones for which administrative data were available, we investigate the agreement of individual employment histories from the two sources (between 1975 and 2010) using sequence analyses. Almost all participants provided survey data on employment histories (97% of the sample), linkage consent was given by 93%, and administrative data were available for 63% of the participants. People with survey data were more likely to be female, to have a higher education, and to work selfemployed and in the tertiary sector. histories is high and similar across time, with a median level of agreement of 89%.Slightly lower values exist for women and people working in the tertiary sector, both having more complex histories. No differences exist for health-related factors.In conclusion, it is likely that missing consent and failed record linkage lead to sample differences; yet, both strategies provide comparable and reliable life course data.
Stage 8 of the German National Educational Panel Study focuses on the adult working age population in Germany and serves, in many respects, as a capstone for the National Educational Panel Study structure. Its main purpose is to collect data on adult education, on competence endowment and its development over the life course, and on returns to initial and adult education in a life-course perspective. The data includes a large number of theoretically informed determinants of adult education and competencies as well as information on how labor market and non-labor market outcomes are influenced by previous educational participation and 284 J. Allmendinger et al.competencies. With detailed information on learning environments at the workplace and in the household it will be possible to contextualize these determinants. The data allows immediate analyses of the adult population as well as the delivery of long-term perspectives on educational, occupational, and private life courses across various educational stages. Erwachsenenbildung und lebenslanges LernenZusammenfassung: Etappe 8 bildet mit dem Fokus auf die Population von Erwachsenen im erwerbsfähigen Alter in vielerlei Hinsicht den Schlussstein der gesamten Erhebungsstruktur des Nationalen Bildungspanels. Diese Etappe sammelt insbesondere Daten zu formalen, nonformalen und informellen Weiterbildungsaktivitäten, zur Entwicklung von Kompetenzen im Erwachsenenalter und zu monetären und nicht-monetären Bildungserträgen von Erstausbildung und Weiterbildung über den Lebensverlauf. Die Daten beinhalten eine Vielzahl theoretisch abgeleiteter Determinanten zur Erklärung von Weiterbildungsverhalten, von Kompetenzen sowie von spezifischen Erträgen innerhalb und außerhalb des Arbeitsmarktes. Diese Determinanten sowie das Weiterbildungsverhalten, die Kompetenzen und die Bildungserträge selbst können durch zusätzlich erhobene Informationen zu Lernumwelten am Arbeitsplatz und im privaten Haushalt kontextualisiert werden. Die Daten der Etappe 8 ermöglichen durch die retrospektive Erhebung detaillierter Bildungs-, Arbeitsmarkt-und Haushaltsinformationen unmittelbar zahlreiche Analysen über verschiedene Lebensphasen hinweg. Durch den prospektiven Charakter der Panelstudie können darüber hinaus in den kommenden Jahren weitere soziologische, ökono-mische, psychologische und erziehungswissenschaftliche Theorien getestet werden.Schlüsselwörter: Weiterbildung · Lebensverlauf · Kompetenzentwicklung · Arbeitsmarkt · Panelstudie
ZusammenfassungDie Verknüpfung verschiedener Datenquellen, genannt Datenlinkage oder auch Record Linkage, zur Beantwortung von wissenschaftlichen Fragestellungen findet in den letzten Jahren in Deutschland vermehrt Anwendung. Jedoch mangelt es bisher an publizierten Erfahrungen. Neue Projekte erarbeiten sich in der Regel autark voneinander das notwendige Handwerkszeug. Daher hat sich eine Gruppe von Forschern zusammengefunden, um ihre Erfahrungen zum Datenlinkage in Deutschland als mögliche Hilfestellung bzw. Anregung für Projekte, Gutachter sowie Datenschützer und Ethikkommissionen zusammenzustellen. Ziel dieser ersten Bestandsaufnahme zum Datenlinkage ist es deshalb, eine Unterstützung für zukünftige Projekte zu liefern, die Daten aus Deutschland auf individueller Ebene verknüpfen möchten. Neben den (datenschutz-)rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen werden dabei auch praxisorientiert die Arten des Datenlinkage, deren Anwendungsfelder und Ansätze zur Vermeidung von Fehlern anhand von Beispielen dargestellt.
