Identification of opposite-sex and same-sex partnerships
The microcensus represents a suitable database for the investigation of forms of life based on partnership. SPSS programs are made available in order to consistently identify partnership lifestyles in the scientific use files of the microcensus over all survey years. These programmes define different forms of living together in partnership in a common household. In addition to living together in a marriage and in a registered civil partnership, this applies above all to unmarried cohabitation with a partner of different or the same sex, which has only been recorded in the microcensus since 1996. With the programmes provided, the unmarried cohabitation can also be approximately delimited in the years before 1996 and thus examined on a long-term basis.
