Pre-PAA GGP Data Workshop

Interested in cross-national demographic research? If so, the Generations and Gender Programme (GGP) offers invaluable data resources, at your disposal for free!

The GGP, initiated in 2000, is a system of nationally comparative panel surveys and contextual databases which aims at improving our knowledge about demographic processes in Europe and other developed countries. Currently, wave 1 individual-level datasets are available for 11 countries (Austria, Bulgaria, Estonia, France, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Netherlands, Norway, Rumania, Russia). In addition, data on a Turkish-subsample of the German population is available. Later this year, wave 1 data releases for Australia, Belgium, Italy, and Lithuania are planned. In addition, the first wave 2 data sets (Bulgaria, Germany, Netherlands) are also planned to be released this year.

Next to individual-level data, a contextual database including macro-indicators on 60 developed countries can be consulted, and data can be downloaded.

In the GGP Data Workshop, information will be provided about the content of the Generations and Gender Survey and the Contextual Database. The programme of this 2-hours workshop is:

• General introduction Andrej Kveder (Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute, The Hague, The Netherlands)
• The GGS: What is in the survey? Aart C. Liefbroer (Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute, The Hague, The Netherlands)
• Data dissemination and access Andrej Kveder (Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute, The Hague, The Netherlands)
• The Contextual Database Sebastian Kluesener (Max-Plank Institute for Demographic Research, Rostock, Germany)
• Questions and Answers

We are looking forward to meeting you in Washington DC!
