Regular Reporting and Expert Reports on Research and Current Practice in the Fields of Income and Wealth Distribution as well as Social Indicators 2015-2017 (Infobasis)

The regular reporting on questions of income and wealth as well as of social indicators is a central source of information for the public debate and for the government’s economic and social policies. It is fundamental in shaping our understanding of the distribution of financial resources as well as of the impact on people's participation and realization opportunities in Germany. Furthermore, the reporting aims at clarifying the definition of poverty on social and politico-economic grounds. The aim of the project is to stimulate and to rationalize the public debate on poverty and wealth.
