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.
