Notes: Census data cover the residential population in 1981 and are provided as a scientific use file by the German Statistical Office. All statistics are conditional on not being in education at the time of the interview. The first census figures correspond to the year 1981, the interview year. The figures in the lowest panel provide the shares of those who would have been in the respective age groups in 1984. Low-skilled individuals in the census data are individuals without any degree and with a partial completion of a vocational training. Medium-skilled workers include those with a completed vocational training and so-called “Meister”, whereas high-skilled workers consist of those with a technical school degree and a university degree. It is assumed that the working population does not substantially differ from the residential population because of zero unemployment. \({}^{\dagger}\) indicates insignificant differences compared to the census data measured in 1981.
