Microcensus 2024

In the period from January to December 2024, a total of roughly 380,000 households and collective living quarters will be selected using random sampling and the residents surveyed. This is equivalent to approximately 1% of Germany's population. The results of the microcensus provide the general public, policy-makers and the scientific community with a wide range of information on life in Germany. They serve as an important basis for policy decisions that affect the lives of many people.

Up-to-date high-frequency data on short-term developments in the labour market are in high demand. Can job advertisements in online portals be used for official statistics purposes in this regard? Labour market reporting at the Federal Statistical Office is concerned with this issue in several projects with European funding. An article in the new issue of our scientific WISTA journal provides an overview of the work performed in one of these projects, the ESSnet WIN.
