Guidelines for the Design of Evaluation Programmes and Analysis Results
Introduction
The Research Data Centre (FDZ) of the Federal Employment Agency (BA) at the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) provides external researchers with access to microdata for non-commercial research in the area of social insurance as well as labour market and employment research. The FDZ provides social data that are subject to the data protection regulations of the German Social Security Code X (SGB X 1) or the requirements of statistical confidentiality.
Apart from the creation and documentation of data products for labour market and employment research, the main task of the FDZ is to support data users in ensuring the confidentiality of information on statistical units such as persons, establishments or enterprise.
