Some considerations

• Lack of small / public organizations
• Problematic database of observation units
• Validity of workplace as observation unit
• Difficult inclusion of administrative data
• Successful 2-stage samples
• Advantage of face-to-face questioning
• Panel surveys preferable in principle
