Access to anonymised survey 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:

Anonymised microdata for the 2019 European Company Survey, are made available through the UK Data Service.
