The special survey consist of 2 types of questions: on the equipment (including vehicles and machines) and on the labour reserves equipment (including vehicles and machines): This group consists of a list of vehicles and machines. It should be assessed whether a household owns these vehicles and machine or not. This part of the special survey is a accompanying program for the survey on consumption. labour reserves: The economy pick-up and the shortage in energy within the last months have not changed the fact that the lack of labour force will stay one of the main problems of the Austrian economy. The impending cut in Working Time from 42 to 40 hours per week will for a short time even aggravate this problem. Therefore, the federal ministry for social administration proposed that the extent of the so-called silent labour reserves should be determined with the help of the Mikrozensus. A first assessment with the help of the Mikrozensus already took place in Juli 1971 (Mikrozensus MZ7102). Silent labour reserves are persons who are currently unemployed but who would be willing to work under specific conditions.
