The GGS-II Austrian team hosted a workshop titled "Fertility and Family Trends: Insights from GGS Austria and Beyond" on November 20, 2024, at the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna. The event brought together researchers and students from national and international institutions to explore family and fertility trends through the lens of the GGS.
Key discussions ranged from the impact of global uncertainty on reproductive attitudes to cross-national comparisons of fertility behaviours and the challenges and opportunities in utilising GGS datasets. The event concluded with a panel discussion on the future developments of the GGP, featuring prominent experts in the field.
Following this, the Wittgenstein Centre Conference 2024 took place on November 21–22 in Vienna. The conference focused on the increasingly common phenomenon of delayed family formation, examining its causes, consequences, and societal implications.
Both events provided platforms for exchanging knowledge and fostering dialogue on critical demographic trends, further enriching the research landscape in fertility and family studies.
