Data / GGS – Round II

Background

The GGP is collecting data for the second round of the Generations and Gender Survey, GGS-II. Data collection started officially in 2020 with an updated and renewed methodology as well as refreshed samples to ensure that social scientists and policymakers have access to the highest quality data possible. The survey is implemented from the GGP Central Coordination Office’s at NIDI to ensure that data is collected efficiently and effectively across various countries.

A new Baseline Questionnaire (download here) has been developed for GGS-II that ensures comparability with GGS-I and the FFS (1990’s). More information on the development of the Baseline Questionnaire is available here and in this webinar (watch here)

The micro-data files are freely available to use for researchers.

How to access GGS-II data

 

 

How to get started with GGS-II data

GGS-II data is available for download in the GGP User Space upon registration and completing the application procedure. Access to one of the GGS-II datasets provides immediate access to other GGS-II countries after filling in the request

The data is available in different formats: .dta, .sav, and .xlxs

The dataset of each country is processed in such a way that it is harmonized with the other GGS-II datasets to reduce the need for users to post-harmonize the data. As such, it is possible to append all country data for a cross-country comparison.

The datasets are harmonized to the baseline questionnaire 3.1. (available here)
