VSET: A harmonized European database of education, telework, labour market and earnings profiles

The VSET (Variables Sociales, Económicas y Teletrabajo) dataset is a harmonized European database derived from three major Eurostat microdata sources: the Adult Education Survey (AES) 2022, the Labour Force Survey (LFS) 2023, and the Structure of Earnings Survey (SES) 2018. Unlike person-level microdata, VSET uses a profile-based design where each row represents a unique demographic and occupational profile cell. Scope: Covers 22 European countries. Content: Contains 1,440,134 unique profile rows and 39 variables covering sociodemographic background, educational attainment (ISCED-based), occupational categories (ISCO-08 at 2-digit level), and 15 earnings summary measures. Usage: The variable N_instances represents the number of records each profile row represents and must be used as a frequency weight in all analytical summaries. Format: Provided as a partitioned Parquet dataset and a SQL-ready CSV with accompanying schema for relational database ingestion.
