RDC German Microdata Lab
The German Microdata Lab (GML) collects microdata of official statistics. It offers research based services concerning the data and develops instruments for the implementation of social scientific concepts.
The German Microdata Lab (GML) is a service provider for researchers working with microdata from official statistics and takes a mediating role between official statistics and the empirical social sciences. Our tasks:
- To provide a service and research infrastructure for microdata from German and European official statistics
- To improve access to official statistics microdata
- To examine research projects on questions of social structure, inequality and demography
Our service on official microdata is aimed at researchers who work or want to work with official data for their analyses. The service includes tools for data analysis, metadata and knowledge transfer (see below), but not the dissemination of official data. The data can be obtained from official statistics. However, it is possible to use a few old datasets via a guest researcher status at the GML.
