Coverage
Data collected from August 28th to September 17th 2009
Sample size of 26,719
Target sample size of 1,000 per country with the following exceptions: the United Kingdom was divided between Great Britain (1,000) and Northern Ireland (300); Germany was split between West (1,000) and East (500); Luxembourg, Malta, and each side of Cyprus had a target of 500
The first Special Eurobarometer survey was conducted in 1970, but this particular survey was first carried out in 2009
Based on population size, population density and urbanisation
multi-stage random (probability)sample
Used NUTS II to divide the regional units
All 27 EU member states participated
Division made between EU-15 and NMS-12
15+
This Eurobarometer’s main focus is on well-being. It is a fairly in-depth survey about poverty, exclusion in social and financial terms, access to social services, and opinions about policy actions for social and financial assistance. With regard to poverty, the survey provides data about causes of poverty, self-perceived poverty and homelessness, availability and costs of housing, and risk of poverty. The survey also provides data about life satisfaction, optimism and perceptions of being left out of society. With regard to social services and intergenerational relations, the survey provides data about long-term care and childcare.

Applicability
The greatest strength of this Special Eurobarometer is its relation to one of the ‘Europe 2020’ Strategy goals, namely to reduce poverty. Researchers who used these data suggest that the survey has a great advantage of harmonised EU-27 coverage, as well as a sufficiently big number of variables, which allows for a fairly comprehensive picture on how Europeans think about income inequalities. Furthermore, because it provides information regarding opinions about policy actions, it could serve as a good complement to objective measures for policy making. Finally, in view of the fact that a slightly similar Eurobarometer survey was carried out in 2007, it is possible to track changes over time. Yet, it should be noted that the 2007 and 2009 Eurobarometers are not fully identical and thus comparable.
