The Research Data Center PIAAC (RDC PIAAC) has been accredited by the German Data Forum (RatSWD) according to uniform and transparent standards and informs on this website about currently available datasets from the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC). To download PIAAC data via the GESIS Data Catalogue (DBK), ordinarily a registration (Registration) and signing a data distribution contract is required. Several documents such as variable reports and questionnaires are available without registration. Furthermore, we offer PIAAC data users the possibility to work with more sensitive PIAAC data (e.g., regional data) at our GESIS Secure Data Center (SDC).
