The Microcensus 2021 is available as a Scientific Use File and via the on-site access channels for independent domestic research institutions!
In 2021, the additional programs included information on health and smoking habits as well as shift work. In addition, an ad hoc module on the reasons for migration, working hours and the labor market situation of immigrants and their direct descendants was carried out. Selected information from the survey section on income and living conditions (EU-SILC sub-sample; surveyed separately before 2020), which has been newly integrated into the microcensus since the 2020 survey year, is included in the Scientific Use File.
Further information on the Scientific Use File 2021 can be found in the GESIS Microdata Information System (Missy).
