Trust in people and organisations; personal characteristics

This table provides information on the extent to which the Dutch population aged 15 and over has confidence in random other people. This trust in fellow human beings has been established by asking if other people are generally to be trusted or that you cannot be careful enough in dealing with people. The table shows the proportion that other people generally find to trust. In doing so, persons who did not respond because they do not know or do not want to say the answer have been disregarded. In addition, the table contains data on trust in various organisations and their functioning. These are the following institutions: churches, army, judges, press, the police, the House of Representatives, politicians, the city council, civil servants, health care, banks, large companies and the European Union. It has been asked whether the respondent has a lot, quite a lot, not so much or no confidence in this. The table shows the proportion that has a lot or a lot of confidence in these organisations. Also, those who did not give an answer were not taken into account. Data available from: 2012 Status of the figures: The figures in this table are final.
