Survey data release: TransFAR – forced migration and transnational family arrangements among refugees
The TransFAR survey (“Forced Migration and Transnational Family Arrangements − Eritrean and Syrian Refugees in Germany”) is now available for research use (Scientific Use file). The dataset includes survey data and generated variables for over 1,400 people of Eritrean or Syrian nationality
living in Germany, who entered Germany between 2013 and 2019, aged 18–45. Fieldwork was conducted between August and October 2020. TransFAR provides detailed information on (transnational) family arrangements and social networks, including social ties within and beyond the family, migration motives, life satisfaction, and the whereabouts and living conditions of key family members.

Data realease: Scientific Use File “German Social Cohesion Panel 2021-2022 – Wave 1-2”
We are happy to announce the release of the Scientific Use File “German Social Cohesion Panel 2021-2022 – Wave 1-2” (SCP 2021-22 W1-2).
HIGHLIGHTS
- Data of WAVE 2 focusing on “Environment & Infrastructure” and “Inequality & Evaluation of Own Situation”
- The RISC Milieus (see Groh-Samberg et al. 2023) as newly generated variables
- Updated weights for ALL WAVES, which now include education as a raking variable
The SCP is a newly established longitudinal study that captures multiple aspects of social cohesion in Germany. It is based on a representative population sample drawn from the German population registers and was carried out for the first time in 2021. The annual survey is directed not only at the selected individuals (N=13,053) but also at all other adult household members (N=3,974). The SCP is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), led in cooperation by the Research Institute Social Cohesion (RISC) and the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), and implemented by the survey institute infas.
Data Access: The SCP can be ordered by all post-doctoral researchers affiliated with a scientific institution. For that purpose, please set up a data user account at here if not yet done. You can use this account in the future to order all Scientific Use Files available at the Research Data Centre of the Research Institute Social Cohesion (RDC-RISC). Account holders (primary users) may share the data with researchers under their supervision (secondary users). Secondary users must be listed in the primary user’s data user account and must sign a privacy policy, which must be archived by the primary user.
We would like to point out that we provide data for scientific use only.

Release of data from the BAuA-Working Time Survey
Since 2015, the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BAuA) has been conducting the BAuA-Working Time Survey, a representative panel survey of the working population in Germany with over 20,000 respondents. The aim of this panel survey, which takes place every two years, is to study the relationship between working time arrangements, other working conditions, and health and satisfaction.
Currently, scientific use files are available for the first five survey waves from 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2023. For more information on the datasets and data access via BAuA’s Research Data Centre.
Release of new data from the first TREE cohort
Transitions from Education to Employment (TREE) is a multi-cohort panel survey that follows two cohorts of compulsory school leavers in Switzerland through their education and training, and into employment and adulthood.
The new data release comprises 10 waves and 19 years of detailed information on Swiss PISA 2000 participants. This means that the educational and employment trajectories of adolescents and young adults aged 16 to 35 are now comprehensively documented and accessible for research purposes.
The data are available on SWISSUbase: TREE – Transitions from Education to Employment
