ISCO
The 2003 survey was undertaken with the express purpose to link results to the 1986 and 1993 versions. This survey/Austria participates in the International Social Survey Program (ISSP) and part of the survey data is therefore comparable to other participating country data.
Data quality
Plausibility checks conducted; quality checks conducted for every seventh interview via telephone follow-up
No breaks reported
No inconsistencies in terminology reported
Applicability
Strengths:
The data can be easily linked across waves and the microdata is easily accessible. By participating in the ISSP research agenda, a degree of data comparability is ensured with other participating countries.
Weaknesses:
Men in all age groups are underrepresented and may limit the robustness of data.
