Is there a decoupling of social groups in Germany? And what role do social networks - understood here as a person's circle of acquaintances - play in social cohesion? We explore these questions in this cohesion report. The report is available in German.
This report presents the central results of a pilot study on the analysis of social cohesion in Germany, which was already conducted during the founding phase of the "Research Institute Social Cohesion" (RISC). The RISC pilot study 2020 was intended to prepare the longitudinal study "Cohesion Panel", which was launched in September 2021, by developing and testing the basics of the study design and the survey programme. The report is available in German.
