Research Database

The DJI Research Database (formerly: Online Survey Database) contains information from the major longitudinal studies conducted by the German Youth Institute. This includes data sets from the survey Growing Up in Germany: Everyday Worlds – AID:A (2009ff.) as well as the Family Survey (1986-2000), Youth Surveys (1997-2003) and the Children's Panel (2002-2005).

The DJI makes the data sets and documentation from the studies available to the professional public via a uniform, easy-to-use user interface. The research database is the central element of the DJI Research Data Centre.

This online service allows users to search for question texts and variable information via a global full-text search in all data sets. Key figures and codes are available for all variables. Comparable variables in different data sets and studies can be easily found using references.

Data sets and documents can be downloaded for scientific purposes after registering online. Details on data use are specified in the General Data Transfer and Data Use Agreement for Research Data of the German Youth Institute.
