Euro Barometer 28 PDF Download

The Standard Eurobarometer survey 89 was carried out between 13 and 28 March 2018 in 34 countries and territories: the 28 Member States of the European Union, the five candidate countries (the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Turkey, Montenegro, Serbia and Albania) and the Turkish Cypriot Community in the part of the country not controlled by the government of the Republic of Cyprus. The full Standard Eurobarometer 89 survey report consists of several volumes. The first volume presents the results of the general questions on the state of public opinion in the European Union, and economic issues in the European Union. Four other volumes present the views of Europeans on the following subjects: the European Union’s priorities, the budget of the European Union, European citizenship and Europeans and the future of Europe. This fifth volume is devoted to Europeans and the future of Europe. Several special Eurobarometer surveys about “Future of Europe” have been conducted in 2006, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2017. This report can be considered as the eighth one of the series and presents a snapshot of the way Europeans perceive the EU and its future direction. The first chapter of this report considers citizen’s views of the EU’s present circumstances – including their opinions about the EU’s main assets – and its main challenges. The second chapter focusses on life in the EU – whether Europeans are happy, and whether they have benefited from a number of the EU’s achievements. In the final chapter, the focus shifts to Europe’s future. A range of topics are covered, including the prospects for young people in the Europe of the future, whether there should be more or less EU-level decision-making, and the factors that would be most helpful for Europe’s future. The methodology used is that of the Standard Eurobarometer surveys carried out by the Directorate-General for Communication (“Media monitoring, media analysis and Eurobarometer” Unit). It is the same for all countries and territories covered in the survey. A technical note concerning the interviews conducted by the member institutes of the TNS Opinion and Social network is annexed to this report. It also specifies the confidence intervals.
