This survey looks into attitudes and perceptions of Europeans towards discrimination, based on different grounds (gender, ethnic origin, religion or beliefs, age, disability, sexual orientation and gender identity). As the last Eurobarometer on this topic, from 2009, this survey also includes several questions on the impact of the crisis on the implementation of anti-discrimination policies and efforts. New questions have been added to cover important or emerging topics, such as the situation of the Roma in Europe, discrimination outside the workplace or the links between discrimination and accessibility. Perceptions on discrimination against transsexual and transgender persons are also explored for the first time.
This survey provides an analysis of the young European citizens' social and democratic participation in society. It enquires about participation in organisations, such as sports clubs, NGOs or political parties and in political elections, including the European Parliament elections of 2014.
European citizenship does not replace citizenship of a Member State. Instead it supplements these rights and responsibilities, and includes electoral rights. This survey investigates the knowledge of EU citizens on their voting rights - in particular the right to vote for and to stand as a candidate for European and municipal elections in the state in which the person resides. Opinions are also expressed about voting rights for non-national EU citizens residing in other EU countries and ways to increase voter participation in European Parliament elections.
"What do patients and healthcare professionals think about an active role of patients in their healthcare? In a qualitative Eurobarometer study, we collected opinions of doctors and patients on patient involvement in healthcare. In depth interviews were held with practitioners, nurses and patients in 15 Member States to learn about what they experience in their clinical practice. It shows that patient involvement in healthcare is not a sharply defined concept and that the traditional patient-doctors relationship is still the most common."
