1. Microdata
Microdata are large sets of single records originating from a survey activity.
Cedefop carries out surveys and uses the resulting anonymised microdata for statistical analyses and scientific research. To protect anonymity and confidentiality, for example of individuals, businesses and households, microdata are anonymised and can be used only for scientific and statistical purposes, such as producing aggregated results for analyses.
Cedefop anonymised survey microdata is available to external researchers, with a view to encouraging their use for further statistical analyses and relevant scientific purposes.
At present, Cedefop makes available anonymised microdata for the following instances:
- European Company Survey, 2019, jointly carried out with Eurofound;
- Crowd learn Survey, 2019;
- European Skills and Jobs Survey, 2014 (wave 1)
- European Skills and Jobs Survey, 2021 (wave 2)
- Opinion Survey on VET (2016)
- Opinion Survey on Adult Learning and CVET, 2019
2. Detailed data
Detailed data are aggregated data but provided with more and more granular break-downs than usually available via dedicated online data visualisation tools, publications or online articles. These data are made available to allow for more focused analysis. However, users need to be aware of some peculiarities of data due to possible misinterpretations or presenting data with low reliability.
At present, Cedefop makes available detailed data for the following instances:
Accessing and using the detailed data will allow you, for example, to:
- Work with detailed disaggregations by sector, occupation, year, etc.
- Develop tables with more countries in one output
- Run different queries, including sector/occupation/qualification outputs
- Display not only absolute numbers but also different shares and growth rates
- Export your selection to different output formats for your further needs
