  • Derivation of data:
    The data in this variable was calculated using the data on household income in hhinc and demographic information about household members.

    Equivalent income (di08) = household income (hhinc) / household weight

    The household weight is computed as the sum of the individual weights of all household members. The first adult member of the household, i.e. the respondent, is considered the head of the household and is weighted by a factor of 1. Other household members age 14 and above are considered as further adult members and are weighted by a factor of 0.5. Members of the household who are 13 or younger are considered children and are weighted by a factor of 0.3.
    The result of the computation was rounded to the next whole number.
    When there was only incomplete information about household members, equivalent income was coded as -32 ‘cannot be generated’. When there was no valid data on household income, equivalent income was also coded as -32 ‘cannot be generated’. If the respondent reported a zero income (code -50 in hhinc), di07 was coded as -50 ‘no income’.

    Equivalent income: OECD-modified scale
    (based on net monthly household income)
    (en)
  • Note:
    Equivalised household income

    Equivalent income measures model household income relative to household composition. In contrast to per capita income, which only considers household size, equivalent income measures use a scale of weights to account for economies of scale and the different economic needs of adults and children.
    Different equivalence scales have been proposed. The equivalence scale used in the ALLBUS program is the OECD-modified scale. This scale defines the first adult member of a household as the head of the household, who is weighted by a factor of 1. Other household members age 14 and above are considered further adult members and are weighted by a factor of 0.5. Members of the household who are 13 or younger are considered children and are weighted by a factor of 0.3.

    Example:
    According to the OECD-modified scale the members of a household of three, consisting of a single parent and two children age 16 and 11, are assigned the following weights:

    - single parent: head of household - 1
    - child age 16: counts as additional adult - 0.5
    - child age 11: counts as child - 0.3

    For an assumed household income of 1800€, the equivalised household income according to the OECD-modified scale would be:

    1800€ / (1+0.5+0.3) = 1000€

  • 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)
  • The German General Social Survey (ALLBUS) collects up-to-date data on attitudes, behavior, and social structure in Germany. Every two years since 1980 a representative cross section of the population is surveyed using both constant and variable questions. The ALLBUS data become available to interested parties for research and teaching as soon as they are processed and documented. (en)
