Sisällön kuvaus

The Citizens' Pulse surveys examine Finns' opinions on current issues, the activities of public authorities, and respondents' state of mind and concerns. The data include questions on, for example, democracy, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, physical activity, and respondents' views on societal issues that the Government should pay attention to.

This collection round surveyed the respondents' views on well-being, state of mind and trust. The questions covered satisfaction with the functioning of democracy, perceptions of the fairness of society, trust in other people, and concerns about one's own livelihood. The next set of questions focused on trust in key societal institutions and the respondents' sense of safety. Questions relating to safety examined, among other things, the impacts of Finland's NATO membership and concerns arising from the war in Ukraine. In addition, the survey explored recycling and waste sorting behaviour and the factors influencing it. The survey also examined respondents' views on racism, including their observations of racist behaviour and their assessments of the adequacy of anti-racist measures. The section on physical activity and mobility examined respondents' level of physical activity in relation to current recommendations and changes in exercise behaviour.

Background variables include the response language, respondent's gender, age group, region of residence, level of education, and information on household composition, financial situation, and type of housing.
