Abstract

"German social security data on employment are based on compulsory notifications by employers on employees at least once a year. To compute individual employment durations, the employment episodes reported in successive notifications have to be concatenated. Several issues in this computation raise the question of whether the durations are measured precisely. Using IAB data on individual employment biographies, the relevance of these issues is demonstrated empirically." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
