Special Eurobarometer 315: Social climate

This report explores Europe’s social climate from three perspectives: personal situation; general situation; and social protection and inclusion.
This report explores Europe’s social climate from three perspectives. These are:
1. The respondents’ view of their personal situation. The focus lies here on citizens’ life satisfaction and other general indicators of the quality of their personal everyday situation.
2. The perception of the general situation. Of main concern here are respondents’ views on the more general building blocks of the social conditions of European countries, including factors such as employment, housing and perceptions of the economic situation.
3. Finally, Europeans’ feelings toward social protection and inclusion are explored. The central factors here are Europeans’ opinions on policies in the areas of pensions and unemployment as well as inequalities and cultural diversity.
