Dear all,
we are looking for information whether children aged 8 to 17 visit a new school, e.g., after moving. I.e. we are interested in whether a change of schools occurred.
Is there any such information available in the SOEP?
With many thanks,
Miriam
Dear Miriam,
Thank you for your interest.
Yes, it should be possible, but you have to consider that you need a detailed view into several SOEP data sets, including https://paneldata.org/soep-core/datasets/movedist/ and the youth, children or biography data: https://companion.soep.de/Data%20Structure%20of%20SOEPcore/Data%20Sets.html#generated-data
Best,
Florian
