EB - Eurobarometer
The Eurobarometer survey is designed to provide regular monitoring of public social and political attitudes in the EU through specific trend questions. Therefore, the general aim of EB is to know the attitudes and evaluations of European citizens about large general themes. The questions concern to the European integration issues, but sometimes they regard also specific problem about single country or common problems of economic, political or social nature.
The arguments of Eurobarometer 88.2 are as follows:
- Attitudes towards immigrants and integration: opinions about some topics and data related to the wider theme of immigration (ex. estimated share of legal immigrants compared to the share of illegal immigrants, immigration as opprtunity or as a problem, proportion of immigrants in the total national population).
Interactions and relationships with immigrants in everyday life: in the school, at the workplace or in public spaces.
Specific aspetcs considered important for a successful integration into the country of residence; role of national and european institutions in the integration process. - Corruption: attitude towards offering extra money or gifts to a doctor or a public healthcare institution for a health service.
Opinion about how acceptable is offering favour/material goods in order to obtain something from public administration.
Opinion and personal experience about: how common is corruption in different fields (tangents and power abuse); reporting a corruption episode. - Demography: political position, household composition, occupation, possession of technology devices and of an internet connection, current financial status and opinion about a future improvement, frequency of political discussions (national and european politics).

Question module QA ‘Integration of immigrants in the European Union’ was newly introduced.
Question module QB ‘Corruption’ is partly based on questions asked in the context of the corresponding module surveyed in the framework of Eurobarometer 79.1.
Starting with Eurobarometer 81.3 (with 84.1 for Germany), the category scheme for country specific protocol variables P6 (SIZE OF COMMUNITY) has changed considerably. Categories for all countries have been harmonized among each other to three values (Rural area – Towns and suburbs/small urban area – Cities/large urban areas).
Starting with Eurobarometer 81.3 the category scheme for country specific protocol variables P7 (REGION) has changed for some countries, in particular introducing NUTS categories for Ireland, Estonia, and Croatia.
Please note that gen1 to gen6 are based on age instead of year of birth, which may entail a slightly inaccurate categorization for some respondents. Moreover, additional discrepancy in the categorization might be due to the potential use of 2016 as reference year instead of 2017.
Please note for variable p6lv ‘SIZE OF COMMUNITY – LATVIA’ the unusual distribution for the Riga region.
Data for protocol variables p8 (postal code), p9 (sample point number) and p10 (interviewer number) have not been made available.
