5.1. Survey setup

Every EU Member State collected the data for the

survey through a CATI system and all versions of

CATI were eective. Table 5 shows the dierent

CATI systems used by each Member State.

Initial samples were obtained through two

channels: mobile phone numbers and landline

phone numbers. At times, only one of these

means was used to get a representative national

sample, e.g. in Latvia, Greece, Spain and the

United Kingdom.

The information was collected in May and

June 2015 and meets the stratication criteria

described above. The collected data allow for

segmentation by the suggested age groups:

18-39 years old, 40-64 and ≥ 65. The population

criterion is also met (at least 25 % live in rural

areas, with a maximum uctuation of 10 %), and

at least 35 % of respondents were employed

(see Table 36 in Annex 3).

It should be noted that the aected vari-

ables were re-encoded to create Table 36

(see Annex 3) and determine compliance

with stratication criteria. More specically,

Q4: Where do you live? had four types of

response: 1. The open countryside or a vil-

lage; 2. A small town; 3. A medium to large

town; and 4. A city or cit y suburb. Responses

were dichotomised to calculate the percent-

age of respondents living in rural vs urban

areas: category 1 (rural area) is made up by

subjects living in the open countryside, a vil-

lage or small town, while category 2 (urban

area) comprises those living in a medium

to large town or a city or city suburb. Like-

wise, Q5: Could you please tell me what is

your current employment status? had six

types of answer: 1. Student; 2. Housewife/

Stay-at-home husband/partner; 3. Retired

or pensioner; 4. Self-employed; 5. Employee;

and 6. Unemployed. Again, responses were

dichotomised to calculate the percentage of

employed respondents in the sample: cate-

gory 1 (employed) includes self-employed

and employee, while category 2 (unem-

ployed) includes the remaining respondents

and thus includes more than simply unem-

ployed people.
