Policy Advice
Demographic developments in Germany present politicians, administrators, industry and society with major and diverse challenges. We can assume that the challenges will increase rather than decrease in future. In order to be able to influence the long-term changes, it is important to know and take account of developments today.
The research results of the institute serve the basis for advice given to the Federal government and the Federal ministries. The BiB provides information on demographic facts and figures, interprets demographic trends and draws up expert scientific reports for the ministries. In addition, it supports the Federal government in its international cooperation on population issues within the framework of the United Nations.
