SHARE-RV: Linking German SHARE Survey Data with Administrative Records
SHARE-RV stands for the direct linkage of survey data of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) with administrative records of the German Pension Insurance (DRV).
SHARE-RV is a project within the German subsample of SHARE which started as a pilot study in 2009 and is now integrated as a standard module of the German SHARE questionnaire. Upon respondents’ consent, the German Pension Insurance provides the administrative records which can be linked to the SHARE interviews of the same person.
The combination of accurate administrative data and profound information about different aspects of the respondents’ lives in SHARE-RV provide a wide range of research possibilities.
The great advantage of SHARE-RV lies in the possibility to combine administrative data of the German Pension Insurance and contextual factors of the respondents. Hence, SHARE-RV enables the investigation of connections between various aspects of respondents´ lives and their working history or their socio-economic status in later life. In addition administrative data of persons living in the same household can be identified and analysed simultaneously.
The Release 9.0.0 of the administrative data is available now. To get access to the administrative data, please register at the Research Data Center of the German Pension Insurance. After successful registration you will receive a dataset which can be linked easily to the SHARE survey data. If any problems regarding data access occur, please feel free to contact Imke Herold.
