Impact of COVID-19 on Human Security (III): Lithuanian Population Survey, July 2020
No full textThe purpose of the study: to explore the views of the Lithuanian population on the social consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and quarantine with a particular focus on everyday life practices, changes in employment, working practices and the quality of democracy.
Major investigated questions: respondents were asked if they were happy. Given the block of questions, they were asked to assess the overall impact of the quarantine on normal daily routine in various areas (financial situation; work - 7 choices in total). The survey was about the most important positive and negative effects on a personal level. Respondents were asked whether they would accept tackling the coronavirus pandemic more effectively by having the surveillance and filming equipment installed in all public spaces; having travel abroad banned for Lithuanian citizens; the arrival to Lithuania banned for foreigners; the freedom of the press restricted, while the personal health data would be open to access. They were asked who is more responsible for preventing a second wave of the coronavirus pandemic from happening – the respondents personally or the government. Later, they were asked to assess the statement that "it would be better to dismiss Seimas and elections, and have a strong leader who can quickly solve anything instead". Later, the survey evaluated respondents’ trust in various institutions (the mayor of the municipality where they currently live; the government of Lithuania), scientists, medical professionals and politicians. Given the block of questions, they were asked whether they felt worried about certain aspects (getting infected with coronavirus; getting infected and not receiving the treatment - 5 choices in total). Respondents were asked whether they currently feel anxious leaving the house and staying in public areas with people once after the quarantine the restrictions on direct contact with others have been lifted. Moreover, they were asked when their daily life will come back to the one they had before the coronavirus pandemic. Later, they were asked how safe they felt before the pandemic and quarantine, during the quarantine, and at present (July 2020). They were asked whether they intend to get vaccinated once the vaccine arrives. Next, the Lithuanian citizens were asked to respond whether during the quarantine period they had given help to anyone outside their family without monetary compensation and if there were enough people to turn to in case of trouble. They were asked to assess the financial situation of the household over the next 12 months. Respondents were asked whether during the quarantine period they had ever needed to see a doctor and how they felt about the risk of a second wave of the coronavirus pandemic affecting Lithuania. Later they were asked about the change in personal income and consumption habits as a result of the quarantine in Lithuania. Respondents were asked to indicate their occupation. Those who reported being unemployed (looking for work) were asked whether they had lost their job as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and the quarantine, and what their chances of finding a job were because of the pandemic. Those who indicated that they were employed were asked whether the quarantine in Lithuania had changed their workload and whether during the quarantine they had started working remotely at least partially. Those who had started working remotely were asked to identify the advantages and disadvantages of remote work, whether they would like to work remotely in the future, and whether the coronavirus pandemic had increased the risk of losing a job. At the end of the survey, both employed and unemployed were asked whether due to the coronavirus pandemic they might need to change their current qualification and/or elevate their existing skills.

After a block of questions, the aim was to find out how much effort the respondents put into preparing for the master's degree. After another block of questions, they were asked what they needed to do differently to be better prepared for graduate study. Respondents were asked if they had heard about the possibility of receiving state support (scholarship, loans, benefits, compensation, etc.) for students studying in non-state funded places (VNF) in Lithuanian HEIs.

It was asked whether they had siblings at the time of enrolment, whether the respondent's family had support from the municipal social services, and whether there was at least one tutor in the school to help prepare for the exams in the last school year. After a block of questions, respondents were asked to rate the learning environment in the completed school. The approximate yearly average of the respondents in the school in the last year was explained. Respondents also assessed the current situation in general education and higher education and expressed their views on current and planned changes in higher education. It was asked whether the motivation of first-year students should be assessed when entering higher education and how it should be assessed. Furthermore, it was explained how admission to humanities courses should be and what the minimum score for a state matriculation examination should be in order for graduates to attend a college or university. Finally, it was asked who should receive public funding for studies.
Socio-demographic characteristics: age, gender, education, whether living in dormitory, average of grades in last session in master's program, previous field of study, enrolment in undergraduate program or motivation, thesis or final exams in previous program, overall average of bachelor's program, work status, number of hours worked per week, reasons for work, connection of work with studies, intention of graduates to work in an institution of science and studies, education of parents (guardians), or parents (guardians) held senior positions in the school year, financial situation of parents (guardians) in the last school year, income.
