Data protection at the Research Data Centre

"Research data of the Federal Employment Agency as well as surveys of the Institute for Employment Research are highly relevant for the scientific community and policy consulting. These data help to find answers to various research questions regarding employment and occupational research. The legal basis for data access is mainly Section 67 of the German Social Code Book X (SGB X). Since the establishment of the Research Data Centre (FDZ) of the Federal Employment Agency (BA) in the Institute of Employment Research (IAB) social data of the BA and the IAB are accessable for researchers using standardised and transparent principles. The remainder of this paper is to discuss the trade-off between the capability of research interests and data protection as well as the satisfaction of these demands."
