Further Remarks

NotesQuestions on ´occupational and domestic patterns´ (TR.1 to TR.29) are repeated from Eurobarometer 34.0 but only put to female respondents aged 22 to 60 years. Meaningful results are obtained for the total population on the 34.0 data; for the target group of women and specific needs of this questionnaire topic, one should combine the 34.1 sub sample with the corresponding 34.0 data. The 12,733 cases of the data set are distributed among the individual countries as follows: Belgium 1012 cases, Federal Republic of Germany East 962 cases, Federal Republic of Germany West 1020 cases, Denmark 100 cases, France 1007 cases, Greece 996 cases, Ireland 1004 cases, Italy 1053 cases, Luxembourg 298 cases, Netherlands 1047 cases, Portugal 1000 cases, Spain 1000 cases, United Kingdom 1031 cases, Northern Ireland 303 cases. Previous Eurobarometers (2-33) are archived under ZA Study Nos. 1544, 1712-1715 as well as 1750-1753. A cumulated data set of the Eurobarometers (1970-2002) is archived under ZA Study No. 3521.

  •  EB - Standard and Special Eurobarometer
     Since the early nineteen seventies the European Commission´s “Standard and Special Eurobarometer” are regularly monitoring the public opinion in the European Union member countries at times. Interviews are conducted face-to-face, in each spring and each autumn, at all times based on new samples with a size 1000 respondents per country. Separate samples are drawn for Northern Ireland and East Germany. After the EU enlargement in 2004, remaining and new Candidate Countries are also regularly included in selected surveys. The Standard Eurobarometer modules ask for attitudes towards European unification, institutions and policies, complemented by measurements for general socio-political orientations, as well as by respondent and household demographics. Intermittently special Eurobarometer modules extensively address topics, such as environment, science and technology, health or family issues, social or ethnic exclusion, quality of life etc. The “European Communities Studies” 1970-1973 can be considered forerunner studies, as well the “Attitudes towards Europe” from 1962.
