On behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, a scientific expertise on the further development of the „Representative Survey on the Participation of People with Disabilities“ (short: participation survey) will be developed. In two panel rounds so far, the participation survey did collect information on the social participation of people with impairments and disabilities in Germany. The data on migrants and people seeking protection with impairments should be improved. On the one hand, the response rate of migrants should be increased and on the other hand, the specific group of people seeking protection is yet to be included in the survey.
