Social inequality in Denmark (ISSP 2009)

Social Inequality in Denmark (ISSP 2009) is the Danish contribution to a cross-national collaboration on topics which are relevant to social science research. In 2009 forty-six countries participated in the ISSP (International Social Survey Programme). This study deals with different aspects of the attitudes of the Danish population towards social inequality in Denmark. This includes what is seen as the causes of the inequality, the responsibility for it and how fair society is perceived to be. Furthermore the survey examines the perceived conflicts between the different social groups. The respondents were also asked to identify their social ranking on a scale from 1 to 10. The following demographic variables were part of the questionnaire: Age, sex, marital status, number of persons living in the household, education, annual income, occupation, trade union membership, religious denomination, church attendance and voting at the latest general election.
