The Generations and Gender Survey - GGS-II (2017- )
The Generations and Gender Programme (GGP) is pleased to announce that a new round of data collection has been launched. The methodology of the GGP has been updated and renewed to ensure that social scientists and policy makers have access to the highest quality data possible. The survey is now implemented from the GGP Central Coordination Office’s at NIDI in the Hague to ensure that data is collected efficiently and effectively across a wide range of countries. The survey uses a new questionnaire which ensures comparability with the the FFS (1990’s) and the previous GGS (2000’s).
