The anchor persons of the FReDA-pairfam sample are people who live in Germany and belong to one of four birth cohorts: They were born either between 1971-1973, 1981-1983, 1991-1993 or 2001-2003. In addition, the now adult children of the original respondents are part of the sample. This sample was recruited as part of the predecessor pairfam study and some have been interviewed since 2008/2009. Beginning in 2022, it will become part of the FReDA surveys.
Like the anchors of the FReDA-GGS sample, the anchors of the FReDA-pairfam sample are also interviewed twice a year. Here, too, both sub-surveys from the same year form one wave that provides the complete information for all questions. These waves can be linked with the survey data from the pairfam predecessor project in order to be able to conduct longitudinal analyses over long periods of time.
Every three years, FReDA is part of the Generations and Gender Survey (GGS). This makes international comparative analyses possible.
FReDA also asks the partners of all anchor persons to participate in the study. This makes dyadic analyses possible.
Beginning in 2022, the sample from the German Family Panel pairfam will be part of the FReDA study. The surveying of the pairfam cohort can continue.
