  • C.4. - Socio Professional Status
    (en)
  • Derivation:
    Roughly half of the representative sample of the European Community public was without paid work. Basing cross- analyses on "occupation" (D.17/V257) would exclude half of the respondents from analysis. An alternative, also used in past Euro-barometer reports, is to base analyses on a (non-Marxist) concept of "objective social class" using "occupation of the head of household" as reference. In order to classify as many respondents as possible with respect to their socio- professional setting, a new classification was created called "socio-professional status."

    The following standards were used:
    For those in paid work (D.17/V257), it is based on their own present occupation.

    For those not in paid work, "former occupation" (D.18/V258) was used, if applicable (retired, housewives having been in paid work in the past, temporarily not working, unemployed).

    For those never having been in paid work, "occupation of the head of household" (D.23/V263) was used. If the head of household was not in paid work at the time of the interview, his or her "former occupation" (D.24/V264) was used, if applicable.

    Consequently, socio-professional status is a classification "that comes as close to the respondent himself/herself as possible" but that draws upon additional background information to the extent necessary and available, in order to avoid a single measure of interviewees' socio-professional setting and to include the maximum number of respondents in the respective analyses.

?:groupDescription
  • Seit Anfang der siebziger Jahre erhebt die Europäische Kommission mit dem "Standard and Special Eurobarometer" regelmäßig die öffentliche Meinung in den Mitgliedstaaten der Europäischen Union. Die Befragungen werden jeweils im Frühjahr und im Herbst auf der Grundlage neuer Stichproben mit einer Größe von 1000 Befragten pro Land persönlich durchgeführt. Für Nordirland und Ostdeutschland werden gesonderte Stichproben gezogen. Nach der EU-Erweiterung im Jahr 2004 werden auch die verbleibenden und die neuen Beitrittskandidaten regelmäßig in ausgewählte Umfragen einbezogen. Die Standard-Eurobarometer-Module fragen nach der Einstellung zur europäischen Einigung, zu den Institutionen und zur Politik, ergänzt durch Messungen zu allgemeinen soziopolitischen Orientierungen sowie zu den demografischen Merkmalen der Befragten und der Haushalte. In unregelmäßigen Abständen befassen sich spezielle Eurobarometer-Module ausführlich mit Themen wie Umwelt, Wissenschaft und Technologie, Gesundheit oder Familie, soziale oder ethnische Ausgrenzung, Lebensqualität usw. Die "European Communities Studies" 1970-1973 können als Vorläuferstudien angesehen werden, ebenso wie die "Attitudes towards Europe" von 1962. (de)
  • 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.
