The dataset is related to the paper "Explaining Inconsistencies in the Education Distributions of Ten Cross-National Surveys – The Role of Methodological Survey Characteristics" (Ortmanns, 2020). The paper compares the education distributions referring to the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED variable) of nine cross-national surveys with the European Union Labour Force Survey, which is used as a benchmark. The paper identifies large inconsistencies in the education distribution across surveys and therefore, it examines how methodological survey characteristics may explain these inconsistencies. The paper refers to the Total Survey Error framework (TSE) and analyses survey characteristics relating to different kinds of errors. This dataset includes the education distribution and 15 survey characteristics of ten cross-national surveys.
