Full edition for scientific use. In addition to the core variables of the Microcensus Labour Force Survey (LFS), the LFS also has so-called ad-hoc-modules (AHM) that can vary from year to year. The EU-LFS ad-hoc-module 2005 on ‘Reconciliation between work and family life’ is divided into three submodules: care responsibilities, flexibility of work arrangements, career breaks. All persons aged between 15 and 64 years were interviewed in the initial survey of the microcensus. The questions of the ad-hoc-module were asked following the questions of the basic programme. The dataset also includes all questions of the main survey of the Microcensus 2005.
