IAB-BiB/FReDA-BAMF-SOEP Survey “Refugees from Ukraine in Germany”

Study Information

More than 950,000 refugees from Ukraine have sought protection in Germany since the Russian invasion on February 24, 2022. The project “Refugees from Ukraine in Germany” will create the first representative database on this group of people, on the conditions that led them to flee, and on their integration into German society. The findings drawn from these data will lay the foundation for groundbreaking policy research and political decision-making.

The project partners plan to present the first scientific findings at the end of 2022. Researchers who are interested in analyzing the survey data will be able to obtain them from the SOEP Research Data Center (SOEP-FDZ), the IAB, and FReDA based at the BIB.

The current study ties in with the IAB-BAMF-SOEP Survey of Refugees, which has been ongoing since 2016, and FReDA. After the first two waves of the survey are completed, the panel on Ukrainian refugees will continue within these existing social scientific data infrastructures. This second phase of the project will create the possibility to gain long-term knowledge about refugees from Ukraine - both about their integration experiences in Germany and about their possible return or onward migration.
