  • Derivation of data:
    In ALLBUS 1980 to ALLBUS 1984 respondents were asked to indicate their occupational training by choosing their last occupational qualification from a list of categories (V749). Only one answer was permitted. As of 1986, the ALLBUS program uses a multiple response question to collect information on occupational training (compare V751-V764). For this cumulative data set, information from this multiple response question (V751-V754, V756-V758 and V760-V764) was recoded in such a way that the data could be merged with the data in V749. Thus, the time series for V749 could be extended to cover the period up to 1990. However, due to the largely incomparable systems of education in former East Germany and West Germany, the practice of reconstructing V749 has been discontinued after 1990.

    Users wishing to work with the data in V749 should take into account the following particularities of the reconstructed data:

    - As there is no indication which qualification from the multiple response question is actually the last one, it was assumed that the highest qualification was also the last qualification.

    - There is a possibility that the extended list of categories used from 1986 onwards influenced the respondents' answers.

    - The response options for the multiple response question contain the additional code 9 'Completed other occupational training'.

    - Until 1984, code 1 explicitly includes respondents who attended a vocational school without being in a traineeship scheme.

    - In 1986 code 1 'No completed vocational training' also contains respondents who had not yet finished their training at the time of the interview. As of 1988 skip patterns were changed so that respondents who were in occupational training at the time of the interview but had previously earned a different qualification could be assigned their original qualification.

    - In 1980-1984 code 3 was 'Completed commercial or other traineeship'. As of 1986 this category has been restricted to 'Completed commercial traineeship' (compare V757).

    These differences in the actual survey practice can lead to bias in the data. One obvious example is code 3 'Completed commercial or other traineeship'. The frequency count in the reconstructed data is noticeably lower than that in the data for 1980 to 1984.

  • Mit der Allgemeinen Bevölkerungsumfrage der Sozialwissenschaften (ALLBUS) werden aktuelle Daten über Einstellungen, Verhaltensweisen und Sozialstruktur der Bevölkerung in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland erhoben. Seit 1980 wird alle zwei Jahre ein repräsentativer Querschnitt der Bevölkerung mit einem teils konstanten, teils variablen Fragenprogramm befragt. Die Daten stehen unmittelbar nach ihrer benutzergerechten Aufbereitung und Dokumentation allen Interessenten für Forschung und Lehre zur Verfügung. (de)
