DJI Childcare Study COVID-19 Add-on
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19The survey has been supplemented by a short additional module on the effects of the corona virus on the care of children up to primary school age since the beginning of the corona pandemic. Parents already interviewed at this time were also asked about the current changes in the care of their children due to corona as part of a follow-up study. In addition to the deviation from the "usual" care situation, the support received in organising childcare as well as changes in the parents' working behaviour will be surveyed. Over the field period from the end of March to the end of July 2020, the overall course of the collected information can provide information on the extent of the changes over time and the flexibility that families have to provide as well as the stabilisation of the care situation in the following months.

The DJI Childcare Study (KiBS) is an annual, representative survey of approx. 33,000 parents with children under the age of 12 years. Based on random samples from the residents' registration office, about 2,000 interviews are conducted in each federal state of Germany. The youngest age cohort, children under one year of age, is drawn each year anew, while the older children continue the panel survey. The parent principally caring for the child is interviewed; in more than 90 per cent of the interviews, this is the child's mother. The duration of a telephone interview (CATI) is about 20 minutes per person.

Economic Policy Uncertainty Index
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19The Economic Policy Uncertainty – Index is constructed from three types of underlying components. The first and most flexible component quantifies newspaper coverage of policy-related economic uncertainty. This newspaper-based approach is also used for the majority of other country- and topic-specific indexes. The second component of the index (for the United States) draws on reports by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) that compile lists of temporary federal tax code provisions. The third component of the policy-related uncertainty (for the United States) index draws on the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia's Survey of Professional Forecasters.

German Job Search Panel
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19The German Job Search Panel is a longitudinal survey that follows people who register as job seeking over the course of up to two years. The focus of the survey is on job seekers’ well-being and health. An innovative survey app is used to allow for frequent measurement every month and for conducting the experience sampling method. The collected data may be linked to administrative records of the Federal Employment Agency, provided that people give their consent. A subsample of surveyed job seekers took part in hair sampling to measure their cortisol levels. In this report, we describe the sampling procedure, adjustments over the recruitment period and the collected data. We moreover examine selective participation in the panel. It turns out that high-skilled workers, young individuals and women were more likely to sign up. Age increases the probability to take part in the hair sampling. People working in East Germany were more likely to consent to the linkage of survey data and administrative records.

IAB Linked Personnel Panel (LPP)
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19The COVID-19 add-on survey shows how the everyday work of employees in medium-sized and large private-sector companies has changed during the COVID-19 crisis. The survey is particularly about transitions to short-time work, changes in working hours and place of work, communication and the compatibility of work and private life. The survey is trying to address especially the following questions: how short-time work is used; how short-time work has changed; how many are currently working from home and to what extent; how do employees communicate with each other; how do work, family and childcare evolve?
Link
The basis of the current online survey is the IAB Linked Personnel Panel (LPP), which consists of a longitudinal survey of German private-sector companies with at least 50 employees subject to social security contributions and randomly selected employees in these companies. From early April to end of May 2020 IAB surveyed around 1,200 employees online about their daily work during the Corona crisis. A second wave started in early June 2020.
The information is representative of people who work in private companies with at least 50 employees and who use digital information and communication technologies for work. This applies to around 40 percent of employees subject to social security contributions in Germany.

University College London (UCL) COVID-19 Social Study
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19The UCL COVID-19 Social Study is a large panel study of the psychological and social experiences of over 75,000 adults (aged 18+) in the UK during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study commenced on 21st March 2020 and involves online weekly data collection from participants for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK. The study is not random and therefore is not representative of the UK population. But it does contain a well-stratified sample that was recruited using three primary approaches. First, snowballing was used, including promoting the study through existing networks and mailing lists (including large databases of adults who had previously consented to be involved in health research across the UK), print and digital media coverage, and social media. Second, more targeted recruitment was undertaken focusing on (i) individuals from a low-income background, (ii) individuals with no or few educational qualifications, and (iii) individuals who were unemployed. Third, the study was promoted via partnerships with third sector organizations to vulnerable groups, including adults with pre-existing mental health conditions, older adults, carers, and people experiencing domestic violence or abuse. The study was approved by the UCL Research Ethics Committee [12467/005] and all participants gave informed consent.
