Data access and Terms of use

In order to access micro data files, users have to sign and submit a Statement of affiliation, confidentiality and acceptable usage. They also have to submit a title and abstract of their research project. They can use the data for all their research projects, except for datasets from Australia and Norway. Users of these datasets need to submit a new application form if they want to use the data in a different research project. The access rights from Wave 1 data are transferred to the Wave 2 data.

In any work emanating from research based on the Generations and Gender Survey micro-data, I will acknowledge that these data were obtained from the GGP Data Archive and refer to the publication that describes the model survey instruments: United Nations 2005. Generations & Gender Programme: SurveyInstruments. New York and Geneva: UN, 2005

In July 2019 the GGP survey data has been included in the DANS archive (wave 1, and wave 2). From then on, the GGP requests that research using the GGS Wave 1, and GGS wave 2 data include references to the GGS data in the following form:

This paper uses data from the GGS Waves 1, and 2 (DOIs: 10.17026/dans-z5z-xn8g, 10.17026/dans-xm6-a262), see Gauthier, A. H. et al. (2018) or visit the GGP website (https://www.ggp-i.org/) for methodological details.

Users of GGS micro-data are required to send any research papers based on the Generations and Gender Survey micro-data or aggregate tabulations to the Population Activities Unit of the UN Economic Commission for Europe, for inclusion in the GGP publications archive.

In order to access, it is necessary to subscribe to the GGP Data User Space, and to follow the instructions available on the GGP data access webpage.

The authors and producers bear no responsibility for the uses of the GGS data, or for interpretations or inferences based on these uses. The producers accept no liability for indirect, consequential or incidental damages or losses arising from use of the data collection, or from the unavailability of, or break in access to the service for whatever reason.
