ASEP Pilot Wave 1 (2023) (SUF edition)

Full edition for scientific use. The Austrian Socio-Economic Panel (ASEP) is a multi-topic, large-scale, annually conducted, ongoing longitudinal survey, that collects data on the household and individual level, representative for the Austrian population living in private households.

This dataset contains the survey data of the first wave of the ASEP, conducted as a smaller-scale pilotstudy in the year 2023, with a net sample size of ~2660 persons living in ~1300 households. You will find data on the household, on each person living in the household and their relations to each other.

As the ASEP aims for enabling research for all social science disciplines, the topics in this first wave of the pilotstudy are very broad. The topics range from family, work, income, housing, education, and health to attitudes, values, and behavior about different aspects of personality, life, and society.

Data was collected during October 2023 and February 2024 via tailored mixed-mode design, that led to a 54% CAPI and 46% CAWI mode composition of the net sample. The invited households were randomly selected from the Central Register of Main Residence in Austria. All household members age 15 and above were given a personal questionnaire. For household members age 14 and below, a questionnaire on child-related topics was given to their legal guardians. Furthermore, to one representative of the household (age 18 and above), a questionnaire on household-related topics was given.
