Abstract
This data file contains competency scores (plausible values) for each participant in the domains ̶ Literacy ̶ Numeracy ̶ Problem solving in technology-rich environments as well as their background information. It contains more detailed information about respondents in Germany than the German public use file for PIAAC available at the OECD homepage (http://www.oecd.org/site/piaac/publicdataandanalysis.htm). The background questionnaire is divided in the following sections: A: General Information, such as age and gender; B: Education, such as highest educational achievement, current education, participation in continuing education; C: Current status and work history, such as paid work and unpaid work for family business, information on job search; D: Current work, such as profession, self-employment, and income; E: Recent work, such as profession, self-employment, reason for quitting; F: Skills used at work, such as influence and physical skills; G: Skill use Literacy, Numeracy and ICT at work; H: Skill use Literacy, Numeracy and ICT in everyday life; I: About yourself, such as readiness to learn and volunteering; J: Background information, such as country of birth, citizenship, language, parents’ profession. Additionally, the data file contains further derived variables, information on competency assessment, information on sampling and weighting, limited regional information and time information of the interview.

Methodology
Geographic Coverage
Universe
All adults in private households between 16 and 65 years of age that resided in Germany during the time of data collection, regardless of citizenship, nationality or language.
Selection Method
Person sample: Two-stage stratified and clustered random sample from all persons in Germany (German and non-German) who resided in private households during the time of data collection and were between 16 and 65 years old. In the first stage municipalities were selected with a probability proportional to their size. In the second stage a systematic random sample of individuals was drawn from the selected municipalities’ registries.
Mode of Data Collection
Face-to-face interview: PAPI (Paper and Pencil Interview) and CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interview), computer or paper based assessment of competencies in Literacy, Numeracy and Problem solving in technology-rich environments.

NFE12JR, NFE12NJR, FNFE12JR, FNFAET12JR, FNFAET12NJR: Some cases of participation in non-formal education and training for job related reasons have failed to be identified appropriately. As a result, participation in job-related non-formal education has been underestimated by around 5%.

Notes
To ensure data protection, municipality size is coarsened. Additionally, information on origin, such as country of birth, citizenship and country in which highest qualification was obtained is coarsened. Categorization of these variables corresponds to those used in the German Microcensus. Financed by: German Federal Ministry of Education (BMBF), Berlin, Germany Initiated by: Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Paris, France International implementation by the PIAAC-Consortium
