Attitudes of Elites and Population towards the EU Development: Mass Media Leaders Survey, 2015
No full textThe purpose of the study: to explore the attitudes of mass media leaders towards the development of European identity and citizenship in the context of EU change and enlargement.
Major investigated questions: respondents were asked how often they had come into contact with people from the EU institutions, organisations and companies, as well as with contributors and institutions from the EU's Eastern Partnership countries in their professional activities over the last 12 months. They were asked how often they use Western European or US and Russian media sources (daily newspapers, including news online, radio, TV, etc.) in order to obtain information. Given the list of various institutions and contributors (EU institutions; leaders of parliamentary majority political parties - 12 choices in total), the survey analysed their power in influencing changes in Lithuania. Next, people were asked to assess the influence of different individuals concerning important national issues (ordinary citizen; member of the European Parliament - 11 choices in total). Respondents had the opportunity to assess the importance of European unification and whether it is more important to grow a competitive European economy within global markets or to ensure better social protection for all its citizens. Respondents were asked to reveal the extent to which they associate themselves with their region, their country or Europe (EU). Given the block of questions, they were asked what it means to be Lithuanian (to be Christian; to follow Lithuanian cultural traditions - 8 choices in total). Given the list of threats, they were asked to rate the risk those threats pose to the EU (non-EU immigrants; EU expansion by including Turkey - 6 choices in total). Respondents had the opportunity to assess European unification and viewpoint on how much of the €100 that an EU citizen pays in taxes should be redistributed at the local, national and EU levels. Given the block of statements, respondents were asked to indicate what it means to be European (being a Christian; following European cultural traditions - 8 choices in total). Then, trust in the EU and in the ability of Lithuanian institutions to take the right decisions was assessed. The aim was to find out whether respondents felt that decision-makers at the EU level did not take Lithuania's interests into account sufficiently, and whether the interests of some EU Member States were given too much weight. The survey went on to analyse whether different policy areas should be dealt with at the national level or at the EU level (fight against unemployment; immigration policy [from non-EU countries] - 8 choices in total). Given the next set of questions, respondents were asked what the EU will look like in 10 years time (unified EU tax system; mutual social security system - 4 choices in total). Next, they were asked how satisfied they are with the way democracy works in the EU and Lithuania. The survey went on to analyse whether the European Commission should be politically accountable to the European Parliament. Given another block of statements, respondents were asked whether or not different EU policies pose a risk to Lithuania (5 choices in total). Next, the survey went on to assess whether the redistribution of resources between EU Member States in order to protect the single currency is fair. Respondents were asked whether there should be a mutual EU army or whether each EU Member State should have its own national army, and which institution is best suited to take care of Europe's security. Respondents were asked whether they were personally content with the introduction of the euro in Lithuania in 2015 and to describe their political views on a left-right scale. While having the future of the EU in mind, respondents were asked what the EU economy, the economic disparities between EU member states, the social disparities between EU citizens, the importance of the EU as a geopolitical power in the world and what the EU politically will be like in 10 years. The survey went on to analyse whether or not Lithuania has benefited from EU membership Respondents were asked whether politicians in the Seimas and the Government should have the right to replace public officials and senior civil servants once the governing majority in Lithuania changes. The survey went further on to assess the social guarantees and legal status of journalists in Lithuania in comparison with the corresponding guarantees for journalists in Western Europe. The survey was concluded by asking respondents to share their viewpoints towards the relationship with the electorate, as well as their understanding of what is the most important function of elections in the political system.

Impact of COVID-19 on Human Security (II): Lithuanian Employed Population Survey, December 2020
No full textThe purpose of the study: to explore the views of the Lithuanian employed population on the social consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and quarantine with a particular focus on changes in employment and working practices.
Major investigated questions: respondents who are working were asked how safe they currently feel in general. Given the block of questions, they had to assess how the quarantine has affected their daily routine in general in various areas (financial situation, work - 7 choices in total). They were asked how they assess the risk of contracting COVID-19 personally. They were asked to assess the financial situation of the household over the upcoming 12 months and to provide their work status. Opinions on how life in Lithuania and their personal lives have changed over the last 12 months and when the coronavirus pandemic will end were analysed. Later, respondents were asked whether there was a change in the average number of working hours, earnings, workload and stress at work since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. There was a need to know how work relationships with colleagues, supervisors and clients have changed as a result of the pandemic and whether respondents had received help at work from these individuals since the pandemic. They were asked if they had experienced any inappropriate behaviour at work from supervisors, colleagues or clients (e.g., harassment, intimidation, terror, psychological abuse, insults, threats, physical aggression) and where or to whom they would first turn if they encountered such inappropriate behaviour in a workplace. The survey assessed the views on whether the coronavirus pandemic has increased the personal risk of losing a job. The aim was to find out whether there was a period of self-isolation due to the pandemic and its impact on respondents' incomes. Lithuanian workers who had lost their jobs in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic were asked what economic activity they were engaged in. They were asked whether it be difficult or easy to find a new job that suited them if they were to lose their job now. Later on, the survey went on to find out how the respondents' current employer takes care of the safety of its employees and whether there is an existing trade union or a works council in a workplace, and how the activities of these institutions have changed since the pandemic. The question about an average monthly net income was asked. Those Lithuanian workers who had to work remotely in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic were asked to rate a number of statements related to remote work (I have the right conditions at home for remote work, I have the necessary technical tools for remote working - 8 choices in total). The aim was to find out whether the employer provided the necessary tools for remote work (computer, telephone, printer, etc.) and what impact remote work has on work performance. The statement that "once the pandemic is over, I will no longer have my own workspace at my workplace or I will have to share it with another worker" was assessed. All respondents were then asked whether they would like to work remotely in the future and whether the coronavirus pandemic might require them to change their current qualifications and/or elevate their existing skills. They were asked whether they intend to get vaccinated once the coronavirus vaccine becomes available and whether they have any loans. At the end of the survey, there was a block of statements provided about different experiences and respondents had to answer whether they were suitable to describe their current experiences (there are enough people I can turn to in times of trouble - 6 choices in total).
