ICPSR instructional subset

This instructional subset consists of items from Euro-Barometer 3, conducted in May 1975, by Jacques-Rene Rabier, special advisor to the Commission of European Communities, and Ronald Inglehart of The Institute for Social Research, The University of Michigan. The Euro-Barometer surveys are an ongoing program of public opinion research sponsored by the nine nations of the European Community. Field work for the project was done by a consortium of European polling organizations for all nine nations. To commemorate International Women's Year, this study focused attention upon a wide range of topics relevant to the status of women--the first international survey of its kind on the subject. The survey also included questions about economic and political issues of interest to the European Community, as well as items about respondents' assessment of the quality of life. Sixty selected variables from Euro-barometer 3 are contained in this subset, with a respondent pool drawn from three of the European countries: Denmark, Great Britain, and Italy. The items are primarily concerned with respondents' attitudes toward changes in sex roles and the importance of issues related to the status of women. Questions asking the respondent to evaluate the various aspects of the quality of life are also contained, as well as demographic information. Contained in this subset are 1,043 respondents from Italy, 1,073 from Denmark, and 1,028 from Britain.
