Further information on the website of the IAB-FDZ
NEPS-ADIAB is a data product jointly provided by the Leibniz Institute for Educational Trajectories (LIfBi) and the Institute for Employment Research (IAB). The NEPS-SC4-ADIAB and NEPS-SC6-ADIAB data consist of the information contained in the Scientific Use File of the NEPS panel study "School and Vocational Training" (SC4) and "Adult Education and Lifelong Learning" (SC6) respectively as well as of information from the IAB's administrative data portfolio including employee history, benefit recipient history, unemployment benefit II recipient history, jobseeker history, and participants-in-measures history. The combination of the data sources makes it possible to address new research questions, in particular questions that rely on detailed income data over the life course or on establishment information. Further details on the available variables can be found in the FDZ-Datenreport 02/2022 (NEPS-SC4-ADIAB) and the FDZ-Datenreport 01/2022 (NEPS-SC6-ADIAB) on the IAB-FDZ website.
Due to data protection regulations, access to NEPS-ADIAB data is only possible in the context of a guest stay at one of the IAB-FDZ locations and subsequent remote data processing. Prerequisite is the conclusion of a data use agreement with both the FDZ-LIfBi and the IAB-FDZ.
