This Eurobarometer’s main focus is on public attitudes towards elderly. More specifically the data cover a wide range of topics, such as diffusion and perceptions of discrimination on the grounds of age, disability, gender, ethnic origin, religion and sexual orientation; employment opportunities with regard to discrimination, crisis impact on discrimination, and effectiveness of public policies combating discrimination. The survey also pays special attention to discrimination in access to social services, i.e. health care.

Data quality

The TNS Opinion and Social Network was responsible for carrying out the survey and partner institutes in each of the countries were assigned the task of completing the fieldwork in their respective countries.
No information about coding is provided.
Applicability
The greatest strength of this survey is that it covers in a great depth the topic of discrimination. It also allows for a cross-country comparison. Furthermore, as it is a follow up survey of the Special Eurobarometer 296 ‘Discrimination in the European Union: Perceptions, Experiences and Attitudes’, it allows for a detailed comparison over time.
