An attempt is made to determine whether microcensus results in Germany are less reliable when responses to questions are voluntary rather than required. The analysis focuses on two questions that have been voluntary since 1991: highest level of general schooling completed and most recent occupational training completed. Data are from the 1991, 1992, and 1993 microcensuses. Earlier data are included for comparative purposes.
