Indicators of equal living conditions
Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (BMWK)
ongoing
Kantar Public, Berlin Institute for Population and Development
On behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection, together with Kantar Public and the Berlin Institute for Population and Development, Prognos is investigating the current status as well as the progress made in the equivalence of living conditions in Germany.
Prognos creates a differentiated set of appropriate indicators.
Prognos will conduct regional level analysis in 400 districts and district-free cities over a longer ex-post period of five to ten years, so that regional specificities can be observed over time.
The Germany-wide results will then be put into a European comparison to enable the changes to be classified into overarching trends (such as demographic developments, structural change processes, etc.).
The description in the context of the developed set of indicators will be contrasted with real-life perspectives given by the population. Kantar Public will use a broad-based survey – also at regional level – to investigate how citizens perceive and assess the aspects of equal living conditions in Germany.
The results of both projects are to be used to derive political recommendations for action.

The Harnessing Talent Platform supports selected regions within the EU that are particularly affected by demographic change and the brain drain. The technical support that Prognos is providing in some regions has now been launched with kick-off meetings.
Creatives in the countryside? As scientific partner in the model project KreativLand Baden-Württemberg, Prognos examined the status quo, the opportunities and the challenges facing creatives living and working outside of the urban centres and regions.
For over 15 years now Prognos has been bringing together the actors concerned by the expansion of the electricity grid and facilitating dialogue between them – from the Danish to the Swiss bor-der.
Through the Just Transition Platform (JTP), the EU supports the member states and regions in achieving their climate targets in a fair manner. Prognos provided the JTP with in-depth analyses and knowledge management.
Where does Germany stand on its path to digital administration? The Trendreport 2024 gives an update and recommendations for the digitalisation of the public administration system.
The electromobility of the future will interact with other intelligent systems. But for this to be pos-sible digital technologies will have to be standardised. The study shows in which areas standard-isation is particularly relevant and how standards are established.
Once again, Prognos has compiled the Innovation Index Germany on behalf of the Vodafone Institute for Society and Communications. The index quantifies the impact the expansion of Germany’s digital infrastructure has had on its innovation strength.
The 2024 Status Report gives a comprehensive picture of the whole Recycling Economy sector and its future challenges.
Environmental organisations have tasked Prognos with adapting selected assumptions from the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure transport forecasts to facilitate climate-friendly transport development.
The Rhineland-Palatinate Innovation Agency was co-developed by Prognos in 2022. Prognos has continued to support the innovation agency throughout the start of its operational work.
Prognos is one of the oldest economic research centres in Europe. Founded at the University of Basel, Prognos experts have been conducting research for a wide range of clients from the public and private sectors since 1959 – politically independent, scientifically sound.
