The Mikrozensus was first carried out in 1957, and with a few exceptions repeated yearly or every two years. About 200.000 households are covered, comprising about 600.000 persons who are interviewed by about 4.000 interviewers. Data are further used for international overviews and research. The labour force survey of European Community is integrated into the National Mikrozensus. As regards working-conditions the information restrictions are obvious.
Legal conditions limit the inclusion of a wider range of indicators on working conditions.
Consequently, the use of the data for the improvement of working-conditions is restricted. The user may print out data or a copy it to a computer disc, provided that such copy is for his own personal use or internal corporate use only.
