The data report is a social report that is published every two years by the Federal Agency for Civic Education (bpb) together with the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), the Berlin Science Center (WZB) and the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) of the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) . It combines data from official statistics with those from social research and creates a comprehensive picture of the living conditions and attitudes of people in Germany. In the individual chapters, social issues are highlighted: population development, for example, or current changes in the education sector and on the labor market. What social security systems are there, what about social participation ? Key data on the state of health of the population and the housing, income and living situations in private households complete the picture of social life in Germany.

The report is aimed primarily at students, teachers, schoolchildren and journalists, but also at experts from science, politics, business and administration.

In addition to the book edition, the data report - complete or by chapter - is also available as a free online edition on the websites of the participating institutions.

Content and development

The data report first appeared in 1983. In the first edition, the main focus was on presenting important facts and figures from official statistics in an easily understandable form. In the second edition in 1985, the data report was expanded to include Part II, “Objective living conditions and subjective well-being”. The results of surveys etc. a. of the Center for Surveys, Methods and Analyzes (ZUMA), Mannheim, and the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW), Berlin. The data report thus bridged the gap between the facts and figures from official statistics and the findings of social science about subjective facts, i.e. opinions, evaluations and ideas that are outside the survey program of official surveys.

The articles in the data report are designed to reflect social change, i. H. Changes over time, to capture and analyze. For example, since the 1992 edition (5th edition), the data report has documented the growing together of reunified Germany and the differences that still exist. To this day, it provides information about still existing disparities in different areas of living conditions as well as differences in behavior, attitudes and value orientations, but also about the successes achieved so far in the unification process and the gradual adjustment of living conditions in East and West Germany.

But the data report also takes account of the significantly increased importance of an international comparative perspective. Since the 1999 edition (8th edition), another focus has been on Germany's role in Europe, especially in the context of the European Union. With the 2008 data report , the previous strict division of the report into the contributions of official statistics and those of scientific social reporting was abandoned in favor of an integrated structure structured exclusively by topic.

In the 2013 data report , the focus was on the German labor market after the effects of the financial market and economic crisis in 2008/2009 with the distribution of income and poverty risks.

Due to the immigration movements, the topics of migration and displacement were at the center of public debates in Germany in 2016 - this was also the case in the 2016 data report .

The 2018 data report focuses on the question of how do children live in Germany? He examines the family relationships in which children grow up, how the socio-economic situation of parents affects the health of their children, to what extent individual educational paths depend on the educational level of the parents, how the leisure activities of children and adolescents differ depending on the type of school and which factors Particularly affect the risk of child poverty.
