The Panel Labour Market and Social Security (PASS) is a central dataset for research on the labor market, poverty, and means-tested income support in Germany (German Social Code Book II). Established by the IAB in 2007, annual surveys are conducted in households registered as residents of Germany and who are in receipt of Unemployment Benefit II. Initially, a personal interview is carried out with the heads of all selected households. Subsequently, all members of the household aged 15 or over are interviewed. The Panel Study Labour Market and Social Security allows researchers to analyse the receipt of Unemployment Benefit II as well as the effects of receipt of social benefits on the economic and social situation of the affected households and individuals. Furthermore, PASS offers information beyond its central issues of employment and unemployment, comprising a variety of socio-demographic characteristics and subjective indicators such as contentment, fears and problems, or employment orientation.
