Description:
The German Family Panel pairfam is a multidisciplinary, longitudinal study on partnership and family dynamics in Germany. The annually collected survey data from a nationwide random sample of more than 12,000 persons of three birth cohorts (1971-73, 1981-83, 1991-93) and their partners, parents and children offer unique opportunities for the analysis of partner and intergenerational relationships as they develop over the course of multiple life phases.
