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 Talent Booster Mechanism supports eleven EU regions that are suffering from a decline in the working-age population and a low proportion of university graduates. The first pillar has been successfully implemented.
A shrinking workforce, digitalisation and decarbonisation: Prognos examined the specific effects of global trends on regional labour markets.
The results of the OVERLAP project show that demographic changes, digital transformation and the need for a green transition are simultaneously affecting regions across the EU.
How effective are EU cohesion and structural policies in driving green change in Europe? We examined this and other questions together with COWI, Milieu and CSIL on behalf of the European Commission (DG REGIO).
Prognos and its partners evaluated how effectively ERDF funding was used for research, technology, development and innovation in the 2014–2020 funding period.
Traffic jams and train delays increased significantly. But there were slight improvements in all other dimensions of the ADAC Mobility Index 2025.
For the European Observation Network for Territorial Development and Cohesion (ESPON), we are investigating how regions can work together more effectively to protect the climate.
Our study identifies the key cost components for low-carbon blue and green hydrogen and calculates the cost of supplying hydrogen to industry.
We conducted a mid-term evaluation of the Programme Interreg Bavaria-Czech Republic 2021-2027 on behalf of the Bavarian State Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy.
We combine economic research and strategy consulting for sustainable decisions in politics, business and society. Our robust data, precise analyses and scientifically based findings enable fact-based progress – financially independent, politically neutral.
