Sisällön kuvaus

The 2019 International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) studied economic inequality in Finland. The respondents' attitudes were surveyed on income disparity between social groups, occupations and societies as well as which actors in society should solve these disparities. In addition, the survey charted the respondents' socio-economic situation, Finnish taxation, and conflicts between social groups. The previous ISSP survey regarding inequality was collected in 2009.

First, the respondents' opinions were charted concerning the importance of different factors for succeeding in life, such as parents' wealth, ambition, social networks, corruption, or gender. Additionally, views were canvassed on fairness of differences in wealth between rich and poor countries. The respondents were also asked to estimate what persons in different occupations earned (euros/month, gross) and what the respondents thought they ought to be paid.

Next, the respondents were presented with a set of statements that they were asked to agree or disagree with on a 5-point Likert scale. The questions concerned, for example, whether income disparity was too great in Finland, who should intervene with income disparity, whether the policies of the government were justified and whether the current level of taxation was justified. The respondents also placed themselves on a 10-point scale according to whether they considered themselves to be at the top or the bottom in society - currently, in childhood home and ten years into the future. Their views were also enquired on which factors they deemed important in deciding one's level of pay.

Views on the hierarchical structure of society were examined by showing the respondents five figures representing differently built societies and asking which of the figures corresponded most closely to the situation in the respondent's own country, and which figure corresponded most closely to an optimal situation. The respondents were also asked questions regarding their economic situation at the time of the survey.

Background variables included, for instance, gender, year of birth, region of residence (NUTS2), occupation, educational background, religious affiliation, which party the respondent voted for in previous elections, number of children, income, marital status, and statistical grouping of municipalities (urban, semi-urban, rural). The survey also included questions concerning the respondent's spouse/partner and parents' occupations.

Otantamenetelmä

Probability: Systematic random

The respondents were drawn from the Finnish population register using systematic random sampling. Sample size was 2,500 persons, of whom 991 responded. Before sampling, the population was sorted according to municipality of residence and time of birth. Respondents were reached out to a maximum of six times using invitation letters, e-mail and paper questionnaires mailed to respondents. Total non-response was 1,509 persons, of which 7 were unable to respond, 7 denied, 2 were otherwise disqualified and 1,493 had unknown reason for non-response.

Aineiston käytössä huomioitavaa

To prevent identification of respondents, the following anonymisation measures were taken: open-ended variable k52muu of the type "other, please specify" charting ethnic group was deleted; variable bv2 denoting region of residence was classified into NUTS2 major regions; variables k53a-k53c charting number of persons in the household and variables k54-k55 charting income were top-coded; parents' countries of birth in k58a-k58b were coarsened; rare categories were combined in k47 charting religious communities. Additionally, responses from persons residing in the Åland Islands were classified as missing values in variables k47 (religious communities), k52_1 and k52_2 (ethnic group), k11a, k21a, k44a, and k44b (respondent's and their spouse's and parents' occupation) and k58a and k58b (parents' countries of birth).

Painokertoimet

The data contain two weight variables, which were created using a calibration method in order to improve estimation efficiency and to correct non-response bias. The weights are based on the following population distributions: 1) gender, 2) age groups (15-24, 25-34, ..., 65-74), 3) NUTS3 regions so that Greater Helsinki area was treated separately, and 4) municipality type (urban, semi-urban, rural). The first weight variable (bv6) weights the results to match the whole Finnish population (the sum of the weights equals the size of the Finnish population). The second weight variable (bv5) does not produce this kind of extension (the weighted mean is 1 and the sum equals the number of cases). Both variables are based on the same calibration process, only the scale is different.
