  • 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 di05 or #S64_1 in the questionnaire for ZA No. 3700 ALLBUS 2002), the DM figures 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, income data was collected individually for each household member and then aggregated to form the household income. Starting in 1986, household income has instead been surveyed as an open question (di05) supplemented by a closed question using income brackets (di06) in case respondents refused to answer the open question. Finally, as of 1994, respondents 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, for respondents living alone the data on personal income has additionally been coded into the household income variables (di05, di06). Variable hhinc contains the consolidated data on household income, i.e. all the data in di05 and di06.

    When analyzing income data, please decide for yourself whether you want to include cases that report a zero income as valid data. By default, these cases are coded as -50.

  • 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)
