Data documentation of the Scientific Use File of the BAuA-Working Time Survey 2023

(in German)

This data documentation describes the Scientific Use File of the BAuA-Working Time Survey 2023, 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 from 11,199 persons as part of the fifth survey wave of this representative panel survey among the working population in Germany, who were questioned about their employment situation, aspects of working time, other working conditions, their health and well-being. Unlike in previous years, this survey wave did not feature a one-off module focusing on a specific topic. Instead, existing modules on topics such as working from home, work culture, and physical demands were surveyed in greater detail. A separate dataset contains the data gleaned from a short questionnaire of 1,815 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.
