For about 96% of the respondents, there was no discrepancy between this information. In 3.3% of the respondents, the mode of the month of birth is used when there is differing information. For the rest, the most plausible/newest information was used (for less than 1%). For about 20% of respondents there was no information about the month of birth at all, but for about 1000 persons it was possible to use indirect information, such as the move-in date of a newborn child. todjahr – Year Died, 4 Digits 2011 46 2012 298 2013 177 2014 180 2015 294 2016 280 2017 398 2018 367 2019 495 2020 261 2022 852 -1 No Answer 0 -2 Does not apply 115437 -3 Answer improbable 0 -4 Inadmissible multiple response 0 -5 Not included in this version of the questionnaire 0 -6 Version of questionnaire with modified filtering 0 -7 Only available in less restricted edition 0 -8 Question not part of the survey program this year 0 SOEP Survey Papers 1366 13 SOEP Innovation Sample (v39) ppathl The variable TODJAHR contains the four-digit year of death for persons whose death could be firmly established or a missing value code: • (-2): persons, for whom it is unknown whether they are deceased (that is, both persons still living up to that wave, and persons whose exact whereabouts is unknown and have dropped out of SOEP) • (-1): persons, for whom the fact of death is known, but the year of death is unknown. todinfo – Year Died, Information Source 1From Annual Survey (pbr_exit) 3648 2survey about died person ($v) 0 3survey about parents ($lela) 0 4Infratest drop-out study 1992 0 5Infratest drop-out study 2001 0 6Infratest drop-out study 2007 0 7Infratest drop-out study 2008/9 0 8Modul Family changes [P] 0 -1 No Answer 0 -2 Does not apply 115437 -3 Answer improbable 0 -4 Inadmissible multiple response 0 -5 Not included in this version of the questionnaire 0 -6 Version of questionnaire with modified filtering 0 -7 Only available in less restricted edition 0 -8 Question this year not part of Survey program 0 For all persons who have been identified as deceased over the course of SOEP, the variable TODINFO gives the source of this information. germborn – Born in Germany 1born in Germany or immigr.<1950 106482 2not born in Germany 11853 -1 No Answer 750 -2 Does not apply 0 -3 Answer improbable 0 -4 Inadmissible multiple response 0 -5 Not included in this version of the questionnaire 0 -6 Version of questionnaire with modified filtering 0 -7 Only available in less restricted edition 0 -8 Question this year not part of Survey program 0 GERMBORN and CORIGIN give information on the country of birth, with the exception of persons who immigrated to Germany before 1950 who are considered to have been born in Germany (the Federal Republic of Germany was founded in 1949).

In comparison to GERMBORN, the variable MIGBACK is useful to identify immigrants’ descendants by combining information on respondents’ country of birth (see GERMBORN) and (grand-)parental information such as their country of birth and their citizenship. Respondents were assigned to the MIGBACK categories based on country of birth (see GERMBORN): Being born in another country than Germany indicates, by definition, a direct migration background (2), while respondents born in Germany may have either no (1) or an indirect (3) migration background. Respondents whose parents had no migration background were assigned the code “(1) no migration background”, while respondents whose father or mother had a migration background were assigned the code “(3) indirect migration background”. miginfo – Migback: Quality of information 1No (grand-)parental information 119085 2At least 1 (grand-)parental information available 0 -1 No Answer 0 -2 Does not apply 0 -3 Answer improbable 0 -4 Inadmissible multiple response 0 -5 Not included in this version of the questionnaire 0 -6 Version of questionnaire with modified filtering 0 -7 Only available in less restricted edition 0 -8 Question this year not part of Survey program 0 MIGINFO indicates the quality of information given in MIGBACK.

Missing values were imputed based on the person’s history. Thus, the only admissible missing value is –2, meaning not applicable. This variable is therefore particularly important, as it enters into the determination of cross-sectional weights. The variable corresponds with HPOP in HPATHL.

Persons without spouse and (cohabitating) partner receive a missing code “-2” (=does not apply). Also, the variable PARTNER is coded 0, 3, 4, 5 in these cases. In couples, partner is the value of the unchanging person ID number (=PID) of the partner. The assignment of the partner ID within households is based on four sources of information: A question in the person-file, that asks (unmarried) respondents to identify their partner in the household (bhppnr in 2017) (plk0001 in pl), the household matrix reported by the head of household at the beginning of the interview (bhstell in 2017) (stell_v1 stell_v2 stell_h in pbrutto), the partnership biography in the lifehistory calendar reported by new respondents (see also, biomars), and self-reports on marital status and life events, such as marriage, move in with partner, separation, etc. In unclear cases, due to temporal non-response for instance, we also consider longitudinal information from previous and prospective waves. Moreover, PARID is self-consistent between two individuals. For analyses of partner relationships, this information can be used to link all persons with their respective partners, and all information on both partners can also be stored in a common dataset. partner – Status Of Partnership 0No partner 72410 1Spouse, registered partner 39285 2Partner 6658 3Probably spouse, registered partner 102 4Probably partner 135 5not clear 37 -1 No Answer 419 -2 Does not apply 39 -3 Answer improbable 0 -4 Inadmissible multiple response 0 -5 Not included in this version of the questionnaire 0 -6 Version of questionnaire with modified filtering 0 -7 Only available in less restricted edition 0 -8 Question this year not part of Survey program 0 The variable PARTNER generated in the context of the partner identifier (PARID) to describe whether a person in a SOEP household has a partner in that household, and if so, the type of relationship existing between the partners. Relationships with persons outside the SOEP household are not covered by this variable. Code 0 is assigned to all single persons living in households and those with partners outside the household. Codes 1 to 4 describe relationships. To assign Codes 1 and 2, the partnership has to be definable from the perspective of both partners unanimously. If conflicting information exists between partners, the codes 3 or 4 are assigned. If it is unclear whether an individual has no partner or whether she forms a couple with one other household member, we assign the code 5. Registered partnerships (civil unions) for same-sex couples were introduced in Germany in 2001. Though, registered partnerships are legally not equal to marriage, they are listed in the same category.
