18. Sozialerhebung (2006)

The 18th Social Survey is part of the series of studies on the economic and social condition of student life in Germany, which exists since 1951. It is a cross-sectional survey that is usually conducted every three years. The core of the Social Survey includes questions on access to higher education, structural characteristics of studies and the course of studies, the social and economic situation (financing of studies, cost of living, gainful employment, housing situation), topics relating to the fields of activity of the Studentenwerke as well as socio-demographic characteristics. The data from the 18th Social Survey provide a snapshot within the process of the Bologna reforms, which, for the students, was primarily associated with the introduction of a tiered study structure. At the same time, the legal conditions for the reintroduction of general tuition fees had been created in seven federal states ("Bundesländer"). A supplementary questionnaire for students with children was used to examine their particular life and study situation and, for the first time since 1991, to present it in a special report.

第十八届社会调查是德国学生生活经济与社会状况系列研究的组成部分，该系列研究自1951年起持续开展。本次调查为横断面调查，通常每三年开展一次。本次社会调查的核心议题涵盖高等教育入学机会、学业结构特征与学业进程、社会与经济状况（含学业资助、生活成本、有偿就业、住房情况）、与德国学生事务机构（Studentenwerke）业务领域相关的话题，以及社会人口统计学特征。第十八届社会调查的数据展现了博洛尼亚改革（Bologna Reforms）进程中的一个时间切片，彼时该改革对学生群体而言，核心关联内容为分级学制结构的引入。与此同时，德国七个联邦州（Bundesländer）已确立重新征收普通学费的法律框架。本次调查配套面向育有子女的学生增设了补充问卷，用于调研其特殊的生活与学业状况，并自1991年以来首次以专项报告形式呈现该群体的相关调研成果。
