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. For a quick guide to using GGS data click here.
