Data documentation of the Scientific Use File of the BAuA-Working Time Survey 2021

This data documentation describes the Scientific Use File of the BAuA-Working Time Survey 2021, which the Research Data Centre of the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (FDZ-BAuA) makes available to users for scientific research projects. The scientific use file contains data that were collected from 20,192 persons as part of the fourth survey wave of this representative panel survey of employed persons in Germany, who were questioned about their employment situation, aspects of working time, other working conditions, and their health and well-being. Given the particular circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, additional questions on pandemic-related effects on work and short-time work were included. A separate dataset contains the data gleaned from a short questionnaire of 1,179 non-employed panel participants. The data documentation gives an overview of the available data, serves to document data processing measures, and describes the options for merging the data with previous survey waves.
