The Generations and Gender Survey (GGS) is a panel study on families, life course trajectories and gender relations. The GGS is part of the Generations and Gender Programme (GGP), a unique research infrastructure providing open access data to registered researchers. We will be focusing on the GGS waves that were already collected. With large samples per country, the GGS microdata provides researchers with a key resource to examine changes in family life, inter-generational and gender relations. The analysis of these trends is at the core of the research produced in several social science disciplines and the GGS data users have extensively used it to better understand topics such as the transition to adulthood, partnership formation and dissolution, fertility, gender roles and caring responsibilities. In the first part of this study profile, we focus on the design features of the GGS (data collection and adjustment, panel maintenance, and coverage) and subsequently we provide an overview of the organisational setup and outputs of the GGP. In the last part we reflect on the opportunities and challenges ahead of the next round of data collection.

世代与性别调查研究概况

世代与性别调查（GGS）是关于家庭，人生历程和性别关系的小组研究。GGS是“世代与性别计划”（GGP）的一部分，该计划是独特的研究基础架构，可为注册研究人员提供开放访问数据。我们将专注于已经收集的GGS波。GGS微观数据每个国家都有大量样本，为研究人员提供了重要资源，以研究家庭生活，代际间和性别关系的变化。对这些趋势的分析是几门社会科学学科进行的研究的核心，而GGS数据用户已广泛使用它来更好地理解主题，例如过渡到成年，合伙制和解散，生育力，性别角色和关怀责任。在本研究资料的第一部分中，我们专注于GGS的设计功能（数据收集和调整，面板维护和覆盖范围），随后我们概述了GGP的组织设置和输出。在最后一部分中，我们将思考下一轮数据收集之前的机遇和挑战。
