The Federal Ministry for Family Affairs has repeatedly referenced findings from the Generations and Gender Survey (GGS) in national family reports and through its expert advisory bodies, particularly in discussions on the division of unpaid care work and fertility-related policies.
Leading research institutes—including the Federal Institute for Population Research (BiB), GESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences, and the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR)—also rely on GGS data for academic publications, demographic analyses, and policy-relevant outputs. This broad and continuous use of GGS underlines its importance as a key evidence base for both research and policymaking in Germany.
