Typologies and Bandsatzerweiterungen
The German Microcensus (MC) is the official household survey for information on the population and the labour market. It is designed as a single-stage cluster sample with a sampling rate of one percent. All households and persons living in the selected clusters are surveyed as observation units. Therefore, information on all secondary survey units is available. In addition to the persons of a household or collective dwelling, these are the units household, form of life and family. In order to analyse these different levels, some classifications, so-called "Bandsatzergänzungen", are subsequently generated by the Federal Statistical Office on the basis of the directly collected questions. In order to simplify the data preparation, the Scientific Use File (SUF) of the MC from 2015 onwards no longer includes such classifications in the data provided. These classifications can be relevant for many research questions. However, they mainly include information that can be generated from other variables contained in the data. That is why this introduction uses the data from MC SUF 2014 to describe how the relevant classifications can be generated independently on the basis of existing variables.
