excluded groups can represent a significant part of the work<strong>for</strong>ce within an<br />

establishment.<br />

For these reasons we decided to use estim<strong>at</strong>ions based on the German<br />

Establishment Panel (“IAB-Betriebspanel”) <strong>for</strong> weighting of the <strong>ESENER</strong> d<strong>at</strong>a. The<br />

German Establishment Panel is a large scale establishment survey which covers all<br />

establishments with <strong>at</strong> least one employee who has to pay compulsory contributions<br />

to the social security systems <strong>and</strong> all sectors of activity. D<strong>at</strong>a are collected from more<br />

than 15,000 establishments once a year. Sampling <strong>and</strong> weighting is made on the<br />

basis of the d<strong>at</strong>a which are available <strong>at</strong> the Federal Labour <strong>Agency</strong> about all<br />

employees with compulsory contributions to the social security system <strong>and</strong> the<br />

establishments employing these people. Additionally the survey collects d<strong>at</strong>a about<br />

the people who work in these establishments but do not have to pay compulsory<br />

social security contributions. For the weighting of the German <strong>ESENER</strong> d<strong>at</strong>a these<br />

st<strong>at</strong>istics were used by courtesy of the Research Institute of the Federal Labour<br />

<strong>Agency</strong> (“IAB”).<br />
