  • Derivation of data:
    Household Income

    Since 2002, income has been surveyed in EURO in ALLBUS. In order to maintain the intercomparability of the data and with a view to future ALLBUS surveys, the income data from ALLBUS 1980 to 2000 has been converted from DM to EURO values for this cumulated data set. As practiced in ALLBUS 2002 (cf. the interviewer instructions in V918 or #S64_1 in the questionnaire for ZA No. 3700 ALLBUS 2002), the figures in DM were divided by two and the result subsequently rounded to integers.

    The collection of income data has been modified over time in order to maximize the number of valid responses:

    From 1980 to 1984, household income (V920) was calculated from the collection of data on the individual household members. As of 1986, household income has been surveyed as a separate question (V918) accompanied by a follow up list query (V919) to minimize refusals. Since 1994, respondent's living in one-person households have been screened out from the question on household income on the assumption that for these cases personal income equals household income. Instead, the data on personal income (V913 and V914) has additionally been coded into the household income variable V920 for one-person housholds.

    When analyzing income data, please decide for yourself whether you want to include as valid data persons or households that report a zero income. By default, these cases are already coded as 0, but are defined as missing data.
