Summary: | The German Social Survey (ALLBUS) monitors social trends in
Germany. In addition, each data collection focuses on special topics of
investigation. Basic demographic and socioeconomic data also are collected on
the respondents, who are German-speaking persons 18 years of age and older
living in private households in Germany. Conducted biennially since 1980 (with
an additional survey in 1991), the ALLBUS series includes individual survey
collections as well as a cumulative file. The cumulative ALLBUS contains
variables for all questions administered on at least two different occasions in
the framework of the ALLBUS individual studies. Before 1991, respondents were
chosen from the Federal Republic of Germany and West Berlin only, and since 1991
from all of Germany. |
