EUI-YouGov SiE survey on solidarity in Europe : trendfile and yearly datasets

Abstract

The SiE dataset on European solidarity is built on a large yearly survey designed by the EUI 'Solidarity in Europe' and SOLID ERC research teams and implemented by YouGov. The survey is implemented every Spring since 2018 and covers a number of topics including: the concept of solidarity among EU states and beyond; support for cross-border solidarity, also against hypothetical crisis scenarios; evaluation of responses to different crises through various instruments, including the recent Covid-19 outbreak and the war in Ukraine; preferences concerning taxes and welfare policy; satisfaction and trust concerning governments, the EU and international actors; security and defence, Russia, NATO and a European army; strength of national and European identities; value of democracy; salience of various issues and threats to citizens and countries; intention in a EU-membership referendum and other EU integration-related indicators; world politics; political ideology, religion and voting preferences; as well as other individual attributes such as gender, age and occupation. The data available here contains the yearly datasets for each of the 2018 - 2023 waves as well as a trendfile merging the most relevant questions repeated across the five waves. The survey team has increased its geographic scope and number of respondents; the last wave inquired over 24.261 respondents in 16 EU countries and the United Kingdom.
