METHODOLOGICAL NOTE
This is the last monthly release of data from the survey “Work and living conditions”, as in 2023 the survey is no longer conducted. 

The survey »Work and living conditions« replaced the survey »Work and education in the time of COVID-19«, which was conducted from December 2020 to September 2021. The methodology and the observed population are different, so the results are not comparable. 

The data are published as experimental because the survey is new and because the measuring instrument, the methodology of data collection and the indicators are still being developed. More information can be found in the methodological explanations.
