Policy and Societal Impact

GGP data doesn’t stop at academic insight—it helps shape real policies that affect people’s lives. Across Europe and beyond, governments, international organisations, and civil society actors use evidence from the GGS to inform decisions on family life, gender equality, ageing, health, and demographic change. From parliamentary debates and national strategies to global policy frameworks and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, these impact stories show how GGP evidence travels from data collection to meaningful action.
