Insurance Accounts Sample 2013 (Versichertenkontenstichprobe)

Scientific Use File Insurance Accounts Sample (Versichertenkontenstichprobe) (SUF.VSKT):

The longitudinal data set SUF.VSKT is based on the insurance accounts sample (§ 1 RSVwV section 2, SK79), which comprises a stratified panel of around 500,000 cases of insured persons aged between 15 and 67. The population of the SUF.VSKT consists of German insured persons living in Germany who are between 30 and 67 years old in the reporting year. The size of the stratified sub-sample is 25 per cent.

The social employment situation of an insured person is mapped on a monthly basis, as well as for example information on factors such as illness, unemployment, child-raising and earning points. The monthly data is organised as a cross-section based on lifetime (January of the 14th to December of the 65th year of life). The biography-related part is flanked by the fixed part, which, in addition to demographic data, provides various totals and average information describing the insured person's pension entitlement.
