These questions concern, for example, their reasons for immigrating to Germany, their living conditions upon arrival, their plans to return to the country of origin, and whether they have relatives in the country of origin. The dataset originally contained information collected with the biography questionnaire in wave M (1996) and its later versions. In 2014 (BE), it was expanded by the new variable BIREASON. The data available in this file are longitudinal. That is to say, the same variable name refers to different time periods, which can be differentiated by the variable SYEAR ranging from 1984 to 2017. Thus, for every respondent included in the dataset, there are as many person-years as the number of years in which the respondent completed interviews. The unit of observation is therefore person-years. The sample size of the dataset is defined using the following criteria: • First, the dataset includes only person-year combinations for those years in which SOEP respondents completed a questionnaire ($NETTO). This refers not only to the personal and youth questionnaires but also to the biography and gap questionnaires ($LUECKE). In other words, at least one of these interviews had to be realized in a given year, so that the person-year combination was included in the dataset. At the same time, the dataset excludes person-year-observations from children and individuals who were not part of a SOEP household in a given year (for more information, see the PPFAD documentation on the current wave survey status $NETTO). • Second, all available information related to the BIOIMMIG variables is collected and assigned to the person-year observations. Thereafter, all persons without valid information on any BIOIMMIG variable were excluded from the dataset. • Third, all respondents whose only valid information was on the percentage of foreigners in class (BISCGCF) were deleted from the dataset. Most information in the BIOIMMIG dataset comes from foreigner-specific questions or questionnaires, while information on BISCGCF comes from a question given to all SOEP participants aged 16 to 17 ($JUGEND) and those who completed a general biography questionnaire (BIOLELA and $LELA). Therefore, if the only valid information in the BIOIMMIG dataset was on the variable BISCGCF, it can be assumed that the person does not have a migration background. • Forth, all respondents who mentioned to be east German were excluded. This corresponds to value 1 on the variable (BIIMGRP). Ultimately, this leaves a sample size of 188,900 person-years and 36,077 individuals in the BIOIMMIG dataset (see Table 1). However, the BIOIMMIG sample cannot be equated with the overall population of immigrants and their descendants in the SOEP, since the BIOIMMIG dataset only includes respondents who gave information on one or more of the BIOIMMIG variables. Research on respondents with a direct or indirect migration background should therefore include a careful check of the MIGBACK variable in PPFAD to determine whether and to what extent the target population is covered in the BIOIMMIG dataset.

Table 2 displays the number of person-years in both datasets. The vast majority (89%) of the person-years from the last BIOIMMIG dataset (v33) are still included in the latest BIOIMMIG dataset version (v34). However, about 20,161 cases are no longer included in the latest version (v34), and a slightly higher number of cases (22,635 person-years) are included in the latest BIOIMMIG dataset version (v34) for the first time.

On the one hand, the new sample restriction to exclude East Germans led to the exclusion of around 3,687 person-years in this BIOIMMIG version (v34). Furthermore, updates of the syntax led to the exclusion of 13,869 person-years. In v33, values on BISCGER were set by default on a positive value for the whole $JUGEND population, although these respondents included a high a share of respondents without a migration background. Additionally, around 1,700 person-years were excluded beacuse of an update of respondents’ survey status (NETTO) in PPFAD and 220 person-years turned out to be faked interviews. On the other hand, several reasons led to the inclusion of more than 22,635 person-years. Firstly, the sample size has increased as roughly 17,737 respondents completed an interview in 2017, adding new person-year combinations to the dataset. These cases include not only respondents who already gave interviews in previous years but also new respondents who entered the SOEP in 2017, for instance, through an additional refugee sample (M5). Secondly, correcting syntax errors led to the inclusion of around 2,732 additional observations on (BISCGER), (BIIMGRP) and (BIRELHC2).

Additionally, starting in 2000 (wave Q), information from the $JUGEND datasets, which contain similar information to $LELA for 16- and 17-year-olds were incorporated into the BIOIMMIG dataset. In any given year, a person could complete either a youth or a biography questionnaire. Thus, information is available in either the $JUGEND or the $LELA dataset but never in both. If a respondent also replied to other questions relevant to the BIOIMMIG variables in the foreigner-specific questions in $PAUSL from wave A to L or in the foreigner-specific questions in $P from wave M onwards, the information from the personal questionnaires is added to the biographical data. Since 2013, the IAB-SOEP migration samples have been surveyed annually, comprising of a large number of interviews with immigrants living in SOEP Survey Papers 768 6 SOEP-Core (v34) bioimmig (v34) Values correspond to following Question: When you entered the country did you first live in a refugee camp or some other type of temporary housing for immigrants?
