News

News from SOEP Survey Management: Field Start 2026

In March, the Leben in Deutschland (Living in Germany) study of the SOEP will launch its 43rd survey wave. Of the SOEP Core samples, 55% of households will be invited to participate via the face‑to‑face method (CAPI) and 45% via the online mode (CAWI). For the first time, this allocation was based on SOEP’s own data analyses, after an initial plan for 2025 that would have assigned households randomly with a 50/50 split between CAPI and CAWI. SOEP staff plan to present results from this mode‑assignment experiment during the 2026 conference year.

The new survey wave of the IAB‑BAMF‑SOEP Survey of Refugees in Germany will also begin in March. This marks the 11th survey year of this collaborative study.

 

Project Extension: SUARE 2026–2029

The longitudinal study on refugees from Ukraine in Germany (SUARE) was granted a second funding phase by the German Research Foundation (DFG) covering 2026 to 2029 (SUARE II). The project, led by Sabine Zinn, Elena Sommer, Louise Biddle, and Adriana Cardozo Silva, examines the specific characteristics of Ukrainian forced migration, shaped by legal frameworks such as the EU Temporary Protection Directive and by distinct family structures.

Over the next three years, the study will focus specifically on the long‑term effects on the education and health of children and adolescents, as well as on the role of discrimination experiences within family and school contexts. Through the use of innovative, AI‑supported survey methods, SUARE II will make an important contribution to understanding integration trajectories, including in comparative perspective with other migrant groups.

More cohesion on climate issues?

Based on the dataset of the second wave of the Social Cohesion Panel (more information under Data Service), the Research Institute for Social Cohesion (FGZ) published its Second Social Cohesion Report on November 13, 2025. The report is titled “(Im)possible Transformation? Social Cohesion and Attitudes Toward Climate Change in Germany.” Since 2020, the institute has been using various data sources to research what unites and divides people in Germany.

The vast majority (71 percent) of Germans would like to see their politicians do much more to protect the climate, with 83 percent reporting they are worried about climate change. At the same time, many people are concerned about the potential economic consequences of climate policy. Only eight percent are clearly opposed to ecological transformation – a small but potentially divisive group.

A central finding of the report is the identification of five “climate types” within German society:

  • The Determined (18 percent), who are strongly convinced of the dangers of climate change and the need for a socio‑ecological transformation;
  • The Concerned (18 percent), who worry equally about climate change and about potential negative consequences of climate protection;
  • The Supportive (31 percent), who want more climate protection but also have certain concerns about transformation;
  • The Indifferent (25 percent), who hold neutral or undecided views; and
  • The Rejecting (8 percent), who view climate change as less dangerous and disagree with climate protection measures.

The findings attracted considerable media attention (all in German): The press conference was broadcast live on Phoenix, and major news outlets—including tagesschau24, Deutschlandfunk, and the FAZ (accessible to subscribers)—reported on the results.

You can find out which climate type you are at https://fgz-risc-data.de/klimatypenrechner.

 

Do regional inflows of refugees affect the mental health of the native population?

A recent study by Prashant Bharadwaj, Daniel Graeber, Stephanie Khoury, and Christian P. R. Schmid investigates how the allocation of asylum seekers affects the mental health of the resident population in Germany and Switzerland. The findings were published in the Journal of Development Economics.

For Germany, the analysis combines quasi‑random regional allocations of asylum seekers with administrative health insurance data and SOEP data on self‑reported mental health. The results show no economically meaningful changes in depressive or anxiety‑related symptoms among native residents in regions with higher inflows of asylum seekers.

The authors conclude that public debates about migration may have stronger effects on perceived stress and anxiety than the actual local presence of refugees.

How has the distribution of income in Germany changed since reunification?

A recent study published in the European Economic Review by Stefan Bach, Charlotte Bartels, and Theresa Neef examines the distribution and composition of national pre‑tax income in Germany from 1992 to 2019, using SOEP data, income tax records, and national accounts. Their results indicate an increase in national pre‑tax income inequality since the 1990s, though to a lesser extent than previously assumed.

A comparison with the United States and France shows greater similarities with the United States in terms of the structure and concentration of top incomes. Around half of the top one percent of income earners are self‑employed in labor‑intensive occupations outside corporate structures (in France, more commonly within corporations). The concentration of national pre‑tax income in Germany also resembles that of the United States and is higher than in France.

This analysis provides policymakers and researchers with nearly three decades of empirical evidence to support informed debates on tax policy, social security, and labor market structures.

What is the added value of linking SOEP data with administrative health records?

This contribution, published as a Ruhr Economic Paper, by Alexander Lepe, Ingo Kolodziej, and Sabine Zinn examines gaps in Germany’s pandemic data infrastructure revealed during COVID‑19. The authors argue that linking the Socio‑Economic Panel (SOEP) with administrative health data would improve the state’s ability to track infectious diseases and their spread within the population.

Drawing on insights from the RKI‑SOEP Study, the authors illustrate the benefits of linking extensive household survey data with infection‑related health data and discuss why such linkages remain limited in Germany. They outline practical implementation pathways and highlight the potential of data integration: it could enable faster and more balanced insights during future public health crises while also enriching health and social research more broadly.

Is there public support for a social media ban up to age 16?

A new SOEP Flash Survey, presented in DIW Weekly Report 10/2026 (PDF, 438.15 KB), shows: while around 90% of the population see risks in children and adolescents using social media, only 50% support a ban up to age 16. A ban up to age 12, however, receives broad support from 71%.

More popular than age restrictions are differentiated protective measures: over 90% support stronger media literacy education, mandatory platform regulations, and increased parental oversight. A smartphone ban in schools is also strongly supported (59%).

Strikingly, attitudes in households with children aged 9 to 16 differ little from those without children. Younger respondents (“Gen Z”) and people with lower education levels are somewhat more likely to see opportunities in social media.

Study author and Head of Survey Methodology and Management at SOEP, Christian Hunkler, emphasizes:

“Social media are perceived as mostly risky by the population, yet there is also awareness of their benefits. The debate is therefore much more nuanced than blanket calls for bans suggest.”

In light of the survey results, the authors argue for balanced regulation—focusing on education, platform responsibility, and moderate restrictions.

How much net income is needed for a dignified life in Germany?

A recent SOEP Flash Survey reveals significant gaps between the legally defined subsistence minimum and societal expectations. While many people consider their own income sufficient, respondents report that a dignified life is only possible starting at around €2,000 in net equivalized household income. Below this threshold, two‑thirds say a dignified life is not achievable.

Currently, the legally defined subsistence minimum, including housing and heating costs, ranges between €1,000 and €1,200 for single adults, depending on location. However, SOEP data show that the public’s subjective expectations are much higher. People with low incomes, part‑time or marginal employment, and younger age groups assess their situation particularly critically.

Assessments of the Bürgergeld benefit level also vary, those without experience receiving Bürgergeld are more likely to consider it adequate, whereas only 3% of current recipients agree.

Presented in DIW aktuell 118 (PDF, 497.81 KB), these findings offer important guidance for the upcoming 2026 recalibration of benefit levels. They highlight the gap between societal expectations and legal definitions—and the importance of a socially accepted understanding of what constitutes a “dignified life.”

    DIW Berlin Appoints Sabine Zinn to the Executive Board

    As of December 1, 2025, Sabine Zinn has not only formally taken over the leadership of the Socio‑Economic Panel (SOEP), but has also officially joined the Executive Board of DIW Berlin.

    With her recognized expertise in empirical social research and her many years of experience in major panel studies, she contributes substantially to the continuous development of the SOEP—one of the most important longitudinal studies in the social sciences worldwide. At the same time, she will now contribute this perspective even more strongly to the strategic orientation of the institute.

    With this step, DIW Berlin underscores the importance of excellent research infrastructures and evidence‑based policy advice for its work.

    Jürgen Schupp enters well-deserved retirement

    In December 2025, SOEP celebrated Jürgen Schupp and his (then) upcoming retirement. During the ceremony, he humorously referred to himself as SOEP's “dinosaur.”

    During his 41 years at DIW Berlin, he initially worked as a research assistant, then as the survey manager in the infrastructure unit. Subsequently, he was its director for many years. His impressive career as a researcher was intertwined with SOEP from the very beginning: after graduating with a degree in sociology from Johann Wolfgang Goethe University (now Goethe University) in Frankfurt am Main in 1983, he worked as a research assistant at Collaborative Research Center 3, “Microanalytical Foundations of Social Policy,” in a subproject based at Goethe University. There, he became enthusiastic about another newly launched project of Sfb 3 (led by SOEP founder and DIW President Hans-Jürgen Krupp), which was the forerunner of SOEP.

    Jürgen Schupp moved to DIW Berlin at the end of 1984 and played a key role in the successful early expansion of SOEP in the former GDR. In 1994, he earned his doctorate from Ruhr University Bochum. In 2006, the Department of Political and Social Sciences at Freie Universität Berlin appointed him honorary professor of sociology.

    Starting in 2004, he was SOEP’s deputy head. In February 2011, he took over the interim management of the research-based infrastructure unit SOEP together with Joachim R. Frick. In 2013, he was appointed university professor (W3) for sociology, specializing in empirical social research, at the Free University of Berlin in cooperation with DIW Berlin. He remained director of SOEP until 2017. Under his scientific leadership, SOEP repeatedly received the rating “excellent” in various evaluations. His ongoing interest in scientific knowledge led to the continuous introduction of innovations at SOEP on his initiative, which promoted scientific excellence, thus forming an important pillar of SOEP's success.

    We wish Jürgen Schupp the best of health and all the best for the next stage of his life. In keeping with Trude Herr's saying, “You never really leave,” it should be noted that Jürgen Schupp now holds the title of “DIW Honorary Fellow”—thus his expertise will remain available to DIW Berlin and SOEP.

     

    Uta Rahmann leaves DIW Berlin

    It is hard to imagine SOEP without her – Uta Rahmann has been an integral part of the team since July 1999. She began developing SOEPlit and assisting the then team assistant, Christine Kurka. Early on, she developed a remarkable skill for transforming Gert G. Wagner’s dictated notes and handwritten comments into clean digital text.

    Over the years, she took on numerous responsibilities: maintaining and further developing the SOEP website – from custom Python scripts to multiple CMS relaunches; organizing SOEP trainings (the predecessors of today’s SOEPcampus events, together with Joachim Frick); co‑organizing SOEP conferences; and supporting the SOEPpapers and SOEP Survey Papers series. She also contributed to many other areas, including secretariat duties, the SOEPhotline (today: SOEP Community Management), data distribution, support with project proposals and evaluations, as well as initiatives to improve internal information flows.

    She initially supported the SOEPnewsletter through editing work for Elke Holst and later took it over entirely. In 2012, during the institute’s evaluation, she briefly stepped in as an advisor to the Executive Board before returning to SOEP.

    For many years, she has also been active on the Works Council, serving as its chair in recent years – another example of her long‑term and deeply committed engagement for the institute.

    On March 31, 2026, after more than 26 years, Uta will leave SOEP. We wish her all the very best for her next – certainly just as active – chapter in life, and above all, good health!

    The award ceremony took place during the 10th International NEPS Conference at LIfBi in Bamberg. Sascha dos Santos gave a keynote speech on the award-winning comparative study on the cumulative benefits of work-related continuing education measures in Germany and the UK, which was also available online as part of the LIfBi Lectures series. For him, the NEPS Publication Award is a special recognition of the joint research work carried out by the team. At the same time, he sees it as a signal that, in times of technological change, education and labor market research must not stop at initial training but must consider continuing education processes throughout the entire working life to adequately understand social inequalities.

    With Sascha dos Santos, a SOEP researcher has been selected as the NEPS Publication Award winner for the second time in a row after Emilija Meier-Faust in 2024.
