Description
The Generations and Gender Programme (GGP) is a Social Science Research Infrastructure that provides micro- and macro-level data which significantly improve the knowledge base for social science. The Infrastructure is run by institutes with strong traditions in academic and policy-related research on population and family change and on survey methodology.
The survey was conducted in two waves. Up till now, 19 countries have conducted at least one wave of data collection, with an average of 9,000 respondents per country. The Generations and Gender Programme is unique in its large coverage of Central and East European countries. Respondents are interviewed every 3 years and changes in the family life are recorded. GGP covers the whole adult life-course, between the age of 18 and 79. The Programme’s main goal is to provide data that can contribute to enhanced understanding of demographic and social developments and of the factors that influence these
developments, with particular attention given to relationships between children and parents (generations) and those between partners (gender). A b
