Research at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences examines the current circumstances of people in the Mittelsachsen district. This helps to shape the future.

How is the population changing in individual local authorities? Where are employment rates highest? How many people rely on minimum income support? The new ā€˜Mittelsachsen-Sozial’ dashboard provides the answers – at the click of a button.

The Mittelsachsen district is thus making a key part of its social reporting – produced on an ongoing basis in collaboration with Mittweida University of Applied Sciences – publicly available in a digital and interactive format for the first time. 

Thanks to the dashboard, the findings from our social reports are now available to everyone involved in local decision-making – quickly, up to date and without the need for lengthy searches!

Professor Isolde Heintze, Faculty of Social Sciences at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences.

The dashboard brings together key figures on demographics, income, health and social participation in a manner that complies with data protection regulations – broken down by district as a whole, the seven social regions or individual local authorities. Regions can be compared directly and tables can be downloaded for personal use.

It is aimed at local government, local politicians, charitable organisations, associations, educational institutions, academia and civil society organisations – the information is freely accessible to all.

The data is drawn from a collaboration between the district and the university that has been in place for more than ten years, which has already produced three social reports. The dashboard now complements these reports by adding an interactive dimension: it starts with an initial selection of indicators, with more being added on an ongoing basis.
