Sonar Postal Survey 1993: April

#Sonar Opinion Polls: #-------------------- #From August 1989 Sonar has carried out a number of opinion polls, i.e. surveys of attitudes and habits of life of the adult Danish population. The opinion polls have been carried out regularly in the period (approx. 10 times a year), and each opinion poll includes about six different subjects as well as the question of the respondent's voting intention at a hypothetical general election on the day of the interview. # The opinion polls have been carried out in collaboration with the daily paper Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten. The subjects for the individual opinion poll are agreed upon at a meeting between the editorial staff of Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten and Sonar; however, the wording of the questions is the sole responsibility of Sonar. # The following background information is included in the data material: #The household: #- Total number of persons #- Sex and age of the household members #- Type of dwelling #- Car in household #- Geocode-2 # #The respondent: #- Year of birth #- Sex #- Gainful employment #- Designation of occupation #- Membership of a trade organization #- If yes: Which organization #- Vote at the last general election #- Driving in own car # #Sonar Postal Surveys: #--------------------- #In addition to these opinion polls Sonar has carried out a number of postal surveys, often in connection with one of the individual opinion polls. # #The themes of this postal survey are: Voting intention at the coming EC referendum; attitude to the proposed schemes for absence on leave; whether the respondent will go on leave; assessment of the number of persons who will go on leave; whether the vacancies owing to leave will be filled; attitude to the proposal that parents with children under 2 years of age may go on leave with full unemployment benefit; attitude to creating jobs for the long-term unemployed in a number of fields without pushing the permanent staff out; the effect of such a scheme on unemployment; attitude to the unemployed having to accept the jobs assigned; attitude to the proposal that people should be allowed to deduct expenses to domestic help; attitude to the proposal that the unemployed get the opportunity of taking minor jobs against going down to 80% of the unemployment benefit; and general attitude to the size of the unemployment benefit
