Sisällön kuvaus

The survey explores Finnish people's views on the status of the Swedish language in Finland. The data was collected as part of the Citizens' Opinion panel, which is part of The Finnish Research Infrastructure for Public Opinion (FIRIPO).

First, respondents were asked for their views on statements concerning, among other things, the position of Swedish in Finnish society, the advantages and disadvantages of bilingualism, the provision of Swedish-language services, language choices at school and the position of Swedish-speaking Finns. Respondents were then asked whether they had any Swedish-speaking relatives, friends or colleagues. Finally, respondents assessed their own Swedish language skills.

Background variables included the respondent's age, gender, NUTS3 region of residence, highest level of education, main activity and political party preference.

Otantamenetelmä

Mixed probability and non-probability

The sample was collected using two methods. First, a random sample of 40,000 Finns was obtained from the Finnish Population Information System and a physical invitation letter was sent to them by post. In addition, the survey was advertised on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, as well as in three major Finnish online newspapers (Helsingin Sanomat, Ilta-Sanomat and Iltalehti). This survey was sent only to Finnish-speaking Citizens' Opinion panellists, of whom there were 1,899 at the time the survey was sent.

Painokertoimet
