The research note “The GGP in Eastern Europe: Insights into Demographic Change” (2014), by Franziska Sigrist and Tom Emery, explores demographic trends in Eastern Europe using data from the Generations and Gender Survey. Key findings include the role of economic instability in low fertility rates, the challenges faced by women in combining work and childcare, shifts in traditional gender roles, and the importance of intergenerational contact in addressing loneliness among the elderly. The note highlights the region’s rapid socio-economic changes and the need for longitudinal data to inform policy solutions for ageing societies, gender equality, and family dynamics.
