Abstract

The adult stage (Stage 8) of the German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) focuses on the adult working age population in Germany and serves, in many respects, as a capstone for the NEPS structure. Its main purpose is to collect data from Starting Cohort 6 (SC6, adults) on adult education, specifically on formal, nonformal, and informal further training; on competence endowment and its development over the life course; and on monetary and nonmonetary returns to initial and adult education in a life-course perspective. The data include a large number of theoretically derived determinants of adult education and competencies, as well as information on returns within and outside of the labor market. Detailed information on the learning environments at a workplace or in a household makes it possible to contextualize the returns to education. On the one hand, the SC6 data contain detailed retrospective information on education, labor market participation, and households; on the other hand, they provide yearly panel information from currently ten waves (as of May 2018). These rich data allow numerous analyses from a life-course perspective pertaining to sociological, economic, psychological, and developmental theories.

Zusammenfassung

Die Erwachsenenetappe (Etappe 8) des Nationalen Bildungspanels bildet, mit dem Fokus auf die Population von Erwachsenen im erwerbsfähigen Alter, in vielerlei Hinsicht den Schlussstein der gesamten Erhebungsstruktur des Nationalen Bildungspanels. In dieser Etappe werden Daten der „Startkohorte 6“ (SC6, Erwachsene) gesammelt, welche insbesondere Informationen zu formalen, non-formalen und informellen Weiterbildungsaktivitäten, zur Entwicklung von Kompetenzen im Erwachsenenalter und zu monetären und nicht-monetären Bildungserträgen von Schul- und Erstausbildung sowie Weiterbildung über den Lebensverlauf liefern. Die SC6-Daten beinhalten eine Vielzahl theoretisch abgeleiteter Determinanten zur Erklärung von Weiterbildungsverhalten, von Kompetenzen sowie von spezifischen Erträgen innerhalb und außerhalb des Arbeitsmarktes. Diese Determinanten sowie das Weiterbildungsverhalten, die Kompetenzen und die Bildungserträge selbst können durch zusätzlich erhobene Informationen zu Lernumwelten am Arbeitsplatz und im privaten Haushalt kontextualisiert werden. Die SC6-Daten beinhalten sowohl retrospektiv erhobene detaillierte Bildungs-, Arbeitsmarkt- und Haushaltsinformationen, als auch jährlich aufgesetzte Panelepisoden aus mittlerweile zehn Wellen (Stand: Mai 2018), die zahlreiche Analysen der soziologischen, ökonomischen, psychologischen und erziehungswissenschaftlichen Theorien über verschiedene Lebensphasen hinweg ermöglichen.
