Data description

The Work Histories Italian Panel (WHIP) is a database of individual work histories derived from the Italian social security administration (INPS) database. WHIP uses a large representative population sample of Italians and non-Italians residing in Italy.

WHIP is maintained by the LABORatorio Revelli Centre for Employment Studies and the Università di Torino. The database provides observations on the main episodes of subjects' working lives: employment and unemployment, private employee contracts, atypical contracts, self-employment and retirement.

WHIP provides an employee-employer linked database with observations on employee contracts. Data on the firm in which subjects are employed are also available.
