GGP is a distributed social science research infrastructure, locally known as the “Contemporary Czech Family” project. It collects, processes, archives, and disseminates data about people’s life courses, parents and children, partners, intergenerational relations, opinions about family, and personal plans. It offers comparisons to families in other countries. It maintains a database for social sciences as well as policy evaluation across Europe and beyond.
