Trust in institutions (i80)
Description
Definition: trust in institutions is the average share of respondents of the European Social Survey (ESS) that gives a score of at least 6 out of 10 on each of the following four questions: “Could you assess your personal trust in each of the following institutions: the Belgian parliament, the judicial system, the politicians and the political parties”. For each institution, the interviewees can answer on a scale of zero (absolutely no confidence) to ten (complete confidence). This question was covered in nine biannual ESS surveys. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the survey for 2020 was postponed to 2021. The FPB calculates the indicator using the ESS data. Since these data are based on a survey, a margin of uncertainty must be taken into account. The confidence intervals for these data are available on request.
