Harmonized Histories - Austria

The harmonized history of Austrian women is based on the Austrian Fertility and Family Survey (FFS) and its successor, the first wave of the Generations and Gender Survey (GGS). Both are nationally representative surveys. At the moment Austria is not in the data base but will be included when the date becomes available.
