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.
Intangible assets are increasingly recognised as playing an important role in the growth of developed economies, although their impact has been identified as difficult to quantify. This survey was designed to explore companies' investment in a range of intangible assets such as training, software development, reputation and branding, or research and development. It provides useful information on the kinds of intangibles companies invest in, whether internal or external resources are used, as well as the incentives and barriers to investing in intangible assets.
This survey analyses young EU citizens' involvement with organisations such as sports clubs, NGOs and political parties, as well as their experience of democratic life. Four in ten of those surveyed do not currently take part in any such organisations. Almost three in ten say they are certain to vote in the 2014 European Parliament elections, whereas just over a third say they are unlikely to vote. Those who participate in youth-related organisations are more likely to vote.
"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."
