Two major data sources for life course research
Swiss Household Panel
The Swiss Household Panel (SHP) follows the same households over the years. The household members are interviewed annually and answer a broad range of questions covering various domains of life and approaches in social science. The data collection started in 1999 with a sample of 5,074 household containing 12,931 household members. In 2004 a second sample of 2,538 households with a total of 6,569 household members was added; and since 2013 the SHP contains a third sample of 4’093 households and 9’945 individuals. Accordingly, the first households are followed for almost twenty years now. Thus, the Swiss Household Panel constitutes a rich and unique database for the social sciences and especially for life course research in terms of longitudinal survey data for Switzerland.
Survey on health, ageing and retirement in Europe SHARE
The SHARE study started interviewing people aged 50 or older in Europe in 2004. In the beginning Switzerland participated together with 10 other European countries and Israel. In the meantime almost twenty European countries participate in der survey. In Switzerland the same households were interviewed seven times until today, once every two years. The survey covers various topics and provides therefore individual panel data on health, socio-economic status and social and family networks. By providing panel data over 15 years, but also because certain waves contained detailed retrospective questions on the life course, the SHARE data constitutes a major source for life course research in Switzerland and Europe.
