General description
Surveys
Seven major surveys will be carried out during the lifespan of this project. Four of these are national surveys and the remaining three are European surveys. In addition to these surveys, LifeObs will facilitate the use of other data, such as the EDP (Échantillon démographique permanent / Permanent demographic sample) and TCM (Tronc commun des ménages / Common household questionnaire).
- National surveys
  4 french surveys
- European surveys
  3 european surveys
- Others data : TCM et EDP
  The LifeObs project will promote and facilitate the re-use of other databases, such as the EDP (Échantillon démographique permanent / Permanent demographic sample) and TCM (Tronc commun des ménages / Common household questionnaire).

LifeObs

LifeObs, the French Life History Observatory, is a research infrastructure aimed at developing innovative longitudinal survey programmes on family behaviour, improving the dissemination of data, as well as training new and existing users of data.

Eight major and representative national surveys will be conducted covering all stages of life, from childhood to old age. Three of these surveys are part of European research infrastructures: the Generations and Gender Programme (GGP2020), the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), and the first European child cohort, GUIDE EuroCohort. Innovative practices will be developed, most notably in terms of how data are collected and how administrative data can be leveraged. To increase the visibility and use of these surveys in France and abroad, the documentation will be translated into English and the data will be disseminated on international data platforms. Moreover, training tools on the use of these surveys will be designed and aggregated data will be made available online.

This multi-partner observatory brings together key institutions in France in life history, family, and population studies: INED (project leader); the universities of Paris Dauphine - PSL, Bordeaux and Strasbourg; INSEE; and the very large-scale research facility (TGIR), Progedo.
