Microcensus 2003, 2. quarter: Labour Force Survey, Lifelong Learning (SUF edition)

Full edition for scientific use. Lifelong learning: According to the regulation No. 1313/2002 by the European Commission from 19th July 2002 member states have to conduct a sample survey on the ad-hoc module livelong learning. Lifelong learning has become an important aspect of employment politics. The question programs for surveys which are obligatory through EU legal norms an for which the Office of the Federal Chancellor bears the costs may not be extended over the demands of the EU legal norm, according to the federal statistic law. An extension would therefore have to be conducted in a separate national commission. The Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Arts (Bundesministerium für Bildung, Wissenschaft und Kunst, BMBWK) evinced interest in such a national commission towards the Statistics Austria. Thereby the BMBWK desired extension of the special survey livelong learning to about 16 questions more concerns the question-fields attendance of courses, trainings, seminars, etc. and informal learning. The survey program consists of two parts: 1. attendance of courses, trainings, seminars, etc. outside the regular educational system (questions C2 to C21 and C24) 2. informal learning (question C23) Since 1983 labour force surveys (LFS) are conducted annually in all European Union (EU) member states. The LFS serve as a basis for internationally compatible (in terms of definition and survey method) data on employment and unemployment for the European Commission. In Austria the LFS is conducted fully annually. The chosen month therefore is March because in this month the Microcensus-quarterly-survey which is most suitable in terms of scheduling for the LFS is performed. Central questions for the assessment of the number of employed and unemployed persons (and as a result for the calculation of the unemployment rate according to international standards) are in addition (since 1994) asked quarterly in the Microcensus standard survey. The survey conducted in March always relates to the week before the interview and includes the whole population, which means everybody who has their main residence in Austria. Data for persons not found have to be added via a substitution method so that results for the whole population can be provided. In Austria (as well as in several other states) the LFS is only conducted among the population in private households; people who live in institutions (retirement homes, boarding homes, and the like) are not included in the survey (the Microcensus special surveys are not conducted in institutional households due to organisational problems and problems with performing the surveys there). These are topics of the LFS: -> immigrants with and without the Austrian citizenship (4 questions) -> features of the first job (21 questions) -> statements on part-time jobs (6 questions) -> previous employments of unemployed persons (7 questions) -> job-seeking (13 questions) -> situation of unemployed persons (3 questions) -> school and professional education (9 questions) -> situation one year previous to the survey (7 questions) Furthermore, there are questions on the demographic background, providing information, evidence and the like. In the Microcensus, the annual special LFS survey contains 70 questions in addition to the questions of the standard survey which is concerned with standard LFS topics. The questions have remained more or less the same over the years. The only questions that have been changed slightly were those on education. Missing information is substituted with information from persons with similar socio-demographic variables (imputation), so that there are no unknown cases.

供科研使用的完整版数据集。终身学习：根据欧盟委员会2002年7月19日发布的第1313/2002号法规，欧盟成员国需针对终身学习临时模块开展抽样调查。终身学习已成为就业政策的重要组成部分。根据联邦统计法，欧盟法规强制要求且由联邦总理办公室承担费用的调查问卷，不得超出欧盟法规规定的范围。因此，若需扩展调查内容，需通过独立的国家专门委员会开展相关工作。奥地利联邦教育、科学与研究部（Bundesministerium für Bildung, Wissenschaft und Kunst, BMBWK）曾向奥地利统计局（Statistics Austria）提出开展此类国家专门调查的意向，该部门希望将终身学习专项调查的问卷新增约16个问题，内容涵盖课程、培训、研讨会等参与情况以及非正式学习两大领域。本次调查方案包含两部分：1. 正规教育体系外的课程、培训、研讨会等参与情况（对应问题C2至C21及C24）；2. 非正式学习（对应问题C23）。自1983年起，欧盟所有成员国每年都会开展劳动力调查（Labour Force Survey, LFS）。劳动力调查（LFS）为欧盟委员会提供符合国际统一定义与调查方法的就业与失业统计数据基础。奥地利的劳动力调查（LFS）每年全量开展，调查时点选在每年3月，因为该月刚好开展符合调查时序要求的微观人口普查（Microcensus）季度调查。自1994年起，微观人口普查标准调查还会每季度询问核心问题，用于统计就业与失业人口数量（进而依据国际标准计算失业率）。3月开展的调查均以受访者受访前一周为统计周期，调查覆盖所有在奥地利有常住居所的人口。对于未成功受访的对象，需通过替换法补充数据，以确保能够生成覆盖全体人口的统计结果。与其他多个国家一样，奥地利的劳动力调查（LFS）仅针对私人家庭人口开展，居住在养老机构、寄宿机构等公共机构中的人群不纳入调查范围（由于组织与实施困难，微观人口普查专项调查也不覆盖机构住户）。劳动力调查（LFS）涵盖以下主题：- 拥有与不拥有奥地利国籍的移民群体（4个问题）- 首份工作的相关特征（21个问题）- 兼职工作相关情况（6个问题）- 失业人员此前的就业经历（7个问题）- 求职相关情况（13个问题）- 失业人员的现状（3个问题）- 学校教育与职业教育情况（9个问题）- 调查前一年的个人境况（7个问题）此外，调查还包含人口统计背景相关问题，用于获取人口信息与佐证数据等。在微观人口普查中，年度劳动力调查专项除标准调查的常规主题问题外，还额外包含70个问题。多年来，问卷内容基本保持稳定，仅教育相关问题做过小幅调整。缺失的信息将通过匹配具有相似社会人口统计学变量的受访者数据进行插补（imputation），确保不存在未知样本。
