Applicability
Strengths:
This survey can be linked with the Austrian Microcensus. For the purpose of analysing older generations, this survey is useful since the data is stratified by age groups.
Weaknesses:
The voluntary nature of the survey may bias the sample in favor of persons who have more time (i.e. are engaged in fewer time-consuming activities).
