Abstract

In recent years, claims data analyses have become of increasing importance in several scientific disciplines in Germany. In specific research projects, it can be necessary to refine and to standardize the results by socioeconomic data. Information about graduation, social status, and occupation are provided by the German job role code for all people insured by statutory health insurance. During recent years, the working scheme has changed and new professions have appeared. Therefore, there has been a discussion about actualization and modification of the job role code. Since December 2011, an actualized job role code with an extensive set of new information is available. In addition, a new classification of professions is available in Germany which was considered in the design of the new job role code. The aim of this overview is to describe the structure of the new job role code as well as to discuss possible uses and limitations.
