GESIS Data Archive, Cologne. ZA4589 Data file Version 1.0.0, https://doi.org/10.4232/1.13335
Abstract: ALLBUScompact is offered as an alternative to the structurally more
complex full version of ALLBUS. It addresses the needs of newcomers to
data analysis by providing a simplified demography module containing an
easily manageable group of the most important demographic indicators.
All topical question modules not containing sensitive data are retained
as in the ALLBUS full version (scientific use file). For a
