ESS-24 / Health, climate & fairness
Equal in which sense?
Do Europeans define fairness as equal outcomes, equal opportunities or rewards for merit?
PlannedWave 2Research question, not a published result
The question
Distinguish moral principles that are often compressed into one word, then test how citizens combine them.
What the analysis will test
- Primary quantity
- Weighted profiles of equality, opportunity and merit principles.
- Evidence
- ESS rounds 9. Modules: fairness.
- Primary comparison
- Fairness profile comparison. The final form depends on validated data and uncertainty.
- Publication threshold
- Pinned source editions, reviewed questionnaire comparability, survey-design-aware intervals, disclosure checks and reproducible aggregate outputs.
What this evidence does not prove
Respondents may support several principles simultaneously; they are not automatically mutually exclusive shares.
The ESS interviews different probability samples in each round. It measures structural differences and change, not today's mood or the same individuals over time.
