COVID-19 and Social Inequality - April 2020

To develop a better understanding how people in Germany handle the social and political consequences of the Corona (COVID-19) crisis, the Cluster of Excellence "The Politics of Inequality" has installed a surveys program with the participation of researchers from several different departments and disciplines at the University of Konstanz (Sociology, Political Science, Economics and Psychology). <br> The surveys focus on the social and political consequences of the Corona crisis and cover multiple topics, such as the perceived individual and social consequences of the pandemic and the measures taken to contain it, trust in health and social policy and the welfare state, support for government aid given to businesses, gender inequalities, questions of solidarity within the EU, opinions on the "Corona app", on debates on loosening the emergency measures, and on perceived infection risks in the working place. <br> The survey program took the form of several online surveys conducted in 2020. This dataset is the survey that took place in April 2020. The other survey and the second wave of this survey can also be found in the GESIS repository (https://doi.org/10.7802/2118 , https://doi.org/10.7802/2334).

为更深入理解德国民众如何应对新冠（COVID-19）疫情引发的社会与政治后果，“不平等的政治学”卓越集群（Cluster of Excellence "The Politics of Inequality"）联合康斯坦茨大学多个院系、跨多学科的研究者（涵盖社会学、政治学、经济学与心理学领域）启动了一项调查计划。
本次调查聚焦新冠疫情的社会与政治影响，涵盖多重议题：民众对疫情及其防控举措的个体与社会影响感知、对卫生与社会政策及福利国家的信任水平、对政府企业救助政策的支持程度、性别不平等问题、欧盟内部的团结议题、对“新冠应用（Corona app）”的看法、关于放宽应急管控措施的讨论，以及职场中的感染风险感知等。
本调查计划以2020年开展的多轮线上调查形式实施，本数据集对应2020年4月开展的首轮调查。本项目的其余调查及该调查的第二波数据均可在GESIS知识库中获取（https://doi.org/10.7802/2118，https://doi.org/10.7802/2334）。
