The report on poverty and wealth is based on the guiding idea that a detailed analysis of a country’s social situation provides the necessary basis for a policy aimed at strengthening social justice and improving social integration.
The report entitled "Lebenslagen in Deutschland - Der 3. Armuts- und Reichtumsbericht der Bundesregierung" (Lives’ situations in Germany – the German Federal Government’s 3rd Report on Poverty and Wealth) analyses the social trends in Germany since 2003 and, where the required data are available, allows for a comparison of the development over the period of ten years.
Commissioned by the Standing Committee of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder in the Federal Republic of Germany and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the German Institute for International Educational Research (DIPF) in 2008 issued the 2nd National Report on Education in co-operation with the statistical offices of the Federation and the Länder and with other partners. The report takes stock of the German education system as a whole, starting from education and care during early childhood through to the wide range of continuing education measures for adults. Based on indicators, the report provides information on the current state of the German education system, its efficiency and problems. Furthermore it includes a detailed analysis of transitional processes such as the transition from school education to vocational training, to study courses or the labour market.
The Health monitoring system (GBE) of the Federation gives information on the health status of and the health services provided to the population in Germany. It is based on data and indicator assisted descriptions and analyses. The thematic fields of federal health monitoring cover all areas of the healthcare system, namely its framework conditions, the health status, behavioural aspects of health, diseases, health services, health expenditure, and the costs and financing of the healthcare system.
Progress in the field of science and technology has to be measured and analysed to enable a reliable assessment of the current situation. The basis of such measurements and analyses are well-established indicators describing the scientific and technological development. A selection of indicators in this field was compiled from various data sources. In addition to figures from official statistics, data from the science statistics of the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft (the business community’s innovation agency for the German science system) and the German Patent and Trade Mark Office were drawn upon.
