Swedish election study 1982

This study is part of the collection of Swedish election studies fielded continuously since 1956. Many of the questions are replications of questions asked in previous election studies. Specific for the 1982 study are a number of questions on the labour market situation and the economic situation. The respondents had to give their opinion on the tax reform decided by the parliament during spring 1982. There are also a number of questions on the respondents´ opinion of different social systems. Furthermore the respondents had to mention what issues the different parties put strength on before election day.

Purpose:

Explain why people vote as they do and why an election ends in a particular way. Track and follow trends in the Swedish electoral democracy and make comparisons with other countries.
