The Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) is a repeated representative survey  that has been running for 30 years.

Commissioned by DIW Berlin, around 30,000 respondents in nearly 11,000 households across Germany are surveyed each year by TNS Infratest Social Research.
The data provide information on topics such as

• income
• employment
• education
• health

Because the same people are surveyed every year, long-term social and societal trends can be tracked especially well.
