Abstract

The introduction and first chapter describe the Generations and Gender Survey and its implementation. Interviewing the same people several times raises methodological questions, such as data representativeness, since not all participants in the first wave took part in subsequent waves. Data consistency may also be a problem, as respondents may give different answers to the same question when asked several years apart.
