In previous surveys, we have already been able to find out how social policy preferences are distributed among the participating respondents. Another survey is now planned for the fall of 2022 that will look at the mechanisms behind these preferences. More specifically, the aim is to understand how the distributional effects of social policy reforms are perceived by the respondents. On the one hand, it is therefore of interest to find out which social policy reforms are generally perceived as effective in achieving goals such as social and economic equality. On the other hand, we also want to find out how effective social policy reforms are perceived to be in achieving these desired goals with respect to specific socioeconomic groups. This will bring us closer to answering the question of why certain individuals support certain social policy reforms and others do not.
The survey institute Bilendi will conduct the survey between October and November 2022. In the process, 1500 people will be surveyed in each of Sweden, Denmark, Gemrany, the Netherlands, France, Italy, Spain, Ireland and the United Kingdom. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Bilendi for the good and constructive cooperation.
