ALLBUS/GGSS 1984 (Allgemeine Bevölkerungsumfrage der Sozialwissenschaften/German General Social Survey 1984)

ALLBUS (GGSS - the German General Social Survey) is a biennial trend survey based on random samples of the German population. Established in 1980, its mission is to monitor attitudes, behavior, and social change in Germany. Each ALLBUS cross-sectional survey consists of one or two main question modules covering changing topics, a range of supplementary questions and a core module providing detailed demographic information. Additionally, data on the interview and the interviewers are provided as well. Key topics generally follow a 10-year replication cycle, many individual indicators and item batteries are replicated at shorter intervals.

Since the mid-1980ies ALLBUS also regularly hosts one or two modules of the ISSP (International Social Survey Programme).

The main question module of ALLBUS/GGSS 1984 is “Social Inequality and the Welfare State,” with questions on objective and subjective social inequality, the social safety net, preconditions for upward social mobility.
