This paper presents empirical results of the working hours of practitioners in Germany and shows descriptive findings of measures of location and distribution of the Mikrozensus 2009 and the FFBÄrzteumfrage 2002. It is based on the study
Zur Arbeitszeit von freiberuflichen Ärzten in Deutschland – Eine Übersicht über vorhanden
Informationen und Fallzahlen in amtlichen und nichtamtlichen Statistiken
(Merz und Peters 2013), where it is analyzed which microdata and in which manner microdata about practitioner’s working hours are available. The tables enhance information for ages until (inclusive) 65 years (Teil A) and from 30 yeras and older (Teil B) thus also with information for the above 65 year old..
In principle, tables according to measures of location and distribution of working hours are given also for several socioeconomic groups. The Mikrozensus data, besides to be age specific and available for self-employed and employed practitioners, allows information about the Bundesländer. The FFBÄrzteumfrage, beyond for all, allow results for self-employed practitioners (liberal professions). The working hours data of the FFB-Ärzteumfrage relate to liberal professional practitioners of the KV Nord.
