Over the course of 2013 to 2016, over one million asylum seekers arrived in Germany, around
890,000 of them in 2015 alone. The growing refugee population posed a major challenge for
Germany’s policy makers, civic administrators, and society at large, in finding new approaches to
registration procedures, housing, and social and economic integration. To design policies and
programs that meet these needs, government administrators, politicians, and the public require
robust analyses of the accompanying social and demographic changes based on timely, valid, and
reliable empirical data. Yet despite the urgent need for quantitative data on this target group, survey
organizations and data collection agencies had little experience gaining access to the target
population and approaching and surveying them effectively.
In late 2015, when the influx reached its peak, the Institute for Employment Research (IAB), the
Migration, Integration and Asylum Research Center at the Federal Office for Migration and
Refugees (BAMF-FZ), and the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) joined together in a cooperative
longitudinal project to survey a nationwide random sample of refugee households in Germany: the
IAB-BAMF-SOEP Survey of Refugees. In this paper, we summarize the sampling and fieldwork
design as well as the challenges faced in the IAB-BAMF-SOEP Survey of Refugees. We discuss
the sequential strategy applied for sampling recent refugees and asylum seekers who arrived in
Germany, particularly in 2015, in such large numbers that proper registration was delayed, and in
many cases their initial accommodations were only temporary. Moreover, the paper discusses
alternative survey instruments introduced for the difficult-to-interview population of the IAB-BAMFSOEP
Survey of Refugees, including translated questionnaires and audio files.... weniger
