The European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) was first conducted in Germany in 2005 under the name "Live in Europe". For this survey, around 14.000 private households and the persons aged 16 and older living in them are interrogated on a voluntary basis.The emphasis of this survey is on personal and household income, living conditions of the household, health of the respondents, questions on childcare, on employment, and on the assessment of ones finalcial situation. In addition, there are survey emphases that change anually. The EU statistics on income and living conditions is designed as a rotating panel, so it allows for cross section as well as longitudinal section analyses.
The survey years are only processed up to 2013. If you are interested in using more up-to-date data, please consider using the Eurostat data supply. Further information on the method can also be found on the Eurostat homepage.

A growing body of literature confirms the existence of different social models, identified according to different combinations of policies and institutions. Knogler and Lankes aim to contribute to this literature by exploring characteristics of social policies in the enlarged European Union. The analysis is based on a set of social policy indicators with a focus on labour markets. By means of Principal Component Analysis they identify four major dimensions of social models. The dimensions are used as a basis for clustering countries into social models, which significantly differ from the commonly proposed regional classification of social models prior to enlargement.

The Parties' Immigration and Integration Positions Data Set (PImPo) includes data on parties' immigration and integration positions and saliency in 14 countries (Australia, Austria, Canada, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, USA) between 1998 and 2013 based on crowd coding of parties' election manifestos. The data set entails variables on immigration and integration positions and saliency for each party in one election.
PImPo also gives data on the quasi-sentence level. Variables here include information on the topic of the quasi-sentence (immigration, integration, or none of both), the direction (supportive, sceptical, neutral), as well as information on agreement levels between crowd coders for each quasi-sentence. To make full use of this quasi-sentence level data, the original verbatim of each sentence can be added through a simple merge with the Manifesto Corpus (Lehmann, Pola / Matthieß, Theres / Merz, Nicolas / Regel, Sven / Werner, Annika (2015): Manifesto Corpus. Version: 20150708174629. Berlin: WZB Berlin Social Science Center.).
For detailed information on the dataset and its generation, please see Pola Lehmann, Malisa Zobel (2018): Positions and Saliency of Immigration in Party Manifestos. A Novel Data Set using Crowd Coding. European Journal for Political Research. Online First

The Kazakhstan Migration and Remittances Survey (KMRS) data were collected in the framework of the research project "Migration and Remittances in Central Asia: The Case of Kazakhstan and Tajikistan", which was funded by the Volkswagen Foundation in 2009-2013. The KMRS 2010 was designed and implemented by the Institute for East- and Southeast European Studies Regensburg, Germany, in cooperation with the Center for Study of Public Opinion (CIOM) Almaty, Kazakhstan.

The Manifesto Project Dataset provides the scientific community with parties' policy positions derived from a content analysis of parties' electoral manifestos. It covers over 1.000 parties from 1945 until today in over 50 countries on five continents.
The content analysis aims to discover party and presidential stances by quantifying their statements and messages to their electorate. A unified classification scheme with an accompanying set of rules was developed to make such statements comparable. Analysing manifestos allows for measurement of party and presidents' policy positions across countries and elections within a common framework. Manifestos are understood to be parties' only and presidential candidates' main authoritative policy statements and, therefore, as indicators of the parties' policy preferences at a given point in time.
The Manifesto Project Data Collection was originally created by the Manifesto Research Group (MRG) in the late 1970s and the 1980s. The work was continued under the name Comparative Manifestos Project (CMP) at the WZB Berlin Social Science Center in the 1990s and 2000s. Since 2009 the Manifesto Research on Political Representation (MARPOR) project updates and extends the dataset. It is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and is still located at the WZB Berlin Social Science Center.
