Generations and Gender Survey
The Generations and Gender Survey (GGS) is a series of surveys administered by the Generations and Gender Programme to improve demographic and social developments among several countries in Europe as well as Australia and Japan.[1] The programme has collected least one wave of surveys in 19 countries, with an average of 9,000 respondents per country.[2] The resultant data has generated over 1,000 publications.[3] It was launched by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, as a successor to its previous Fertility and Family Survey in the 1990s.[4]
The participating countries are Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russian Federation and Sweden.[5] It does not include the United Kingdom, where, on the other hand, the UK households study has a similar scope.
