Erhebungsdaten des Nationalen Bildungspanels (NEPS), Startkohorte 5 (SC5) verknüpft mit administrativen Daten des IAB (NEPS-SC5-ADIAB) – Version 7521 v1

The data product NEPS-SC5-ADIAB is provided cooperatively by the Institute for Employment Research (IAB), Nuremberg, and the Leibniz Institute for Educational Trajectories (LIfBi), Bamberg. NEPS-SC5-ADIAB consists of the survey and test data of Starting Cohort 5 – First-Year Students "From Higher Education to the Labor Market" of the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) and the administrative data of the IAB. The sample of this Starting Cohort includes first-year students of the academic year 2010/2011 enrolled at higher education institutions in Germany. The data collection took place on a semiannual or annual basis. The initial survey was conducted from November 2010 to January 2012. In general, NEPS aims to study educational trajectories in different contexts as well as the development of competencies over the individual life course. For this, data are collected on competence development, educational processes and educational decisions as well as on educational returns. In addition, NEPS asks a broad range of questions, especially on numerous biographical and socio-demographic characteristics.
The NEPS-SC5-ADIAB can be used to investigate research questions that, for instance, require highly accurate income data over the life course.
