Abstract

Initiated and funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, in 2008 an interdisciplinary network led by H.-P. Blossfeld as PIFootnote1 was established to set up and implement the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS). The goal was to provide data for the description and explanation of individual competence development and educational trajectories over the entire life course in Germany. From the outset NEPS data were made available (free of charge) to the scientific community for research purposes. Furthermore, data collection aimed at educational reporting and thus at enabling evidence-based policy in the fields of (early) education, labor market participation, and lifelong learning.
