Europa is going through an eventful period. The economic crisis, large migration flows and terrorist attacks are cross-border events that put pressure on international solidarity and attitudes towards civil liberties such as freedom of movement. To what extent are the inhabitants of European countries in favour of immigration and receiving refugees? Or, more generally, to what extent do they trust policymakers and politicians, institutions and one another, and are they satisfied with their lives? More far-reaching questions are whether Europeans share values, beliefs and attitudes, and whether Europeans from different countries are becoming more similar over time. Preliminary answers to these questions are given in this report, which is an update of an earlier report entitled Nederland in Europees perspectief (‘The Netherlands in a European perspective’), published in October 2015. This publication is based on the most recent data from the European Social Survey (ESS), a large-scale biennial study of attitudes and values. It devotes special attention to attitudes towards immigration as measured in the seven rounds of the ESS that have been fielded since 2002, and which were measured in greater depth in the 2002/2003 and 2014/2015 rounds. The data for 2014/2015 are currently available for 15 countries in various parts of Europe

"Obtaining accurate survey data on ethnic minorities is not easy. Ethnic minorities are usually underrepresented in surveys, and it is moreover not certain that those who do take part in surveys are representative of the group the researcher is interested in. For example, is it only people with a high education level who take part? To ensure that everyone can participate, a tailor-made approach is needed, for example by translating the questionnaires and using interviewers with the same ethnic background as the intended respondents. This tailor-made approach can lead to higher response rates, but can we be certain that a translated questionnaire still measures the same things as the original? In order for the results to be regarded as reliable, survey data need to be of good quality, different groups need to be readily comparable-despite linguistic differences-and ideally the data should also be available quickly. How quickly the results are needed and the overall budget also determine the upper limit of the data quality: obtaining a high response, for example, requires a longer fieldwork period"--Page 4 of cover.

Surveys are an important tool to assess quality of life, measure public opinion, gauge trust in institutions, and many other purposes. They are used in academia, health, education, statistics and marketing, and give citizens a voice. These same citizens, however, increasingly cannot or will not participate in surveys. Nonresponse is a serious threat to the reliability and validity of survey results.Although it is clear that survey nonresponse is a problem, it is less clear how to calculate response rates, what are the causes of nonresponse, and when and why it is a problem. For instance, in a web survey on health, nonresponse can be caused by the web server temporarily being out of order or by the respondent not receiving the survey invitation because they are in hospital. In the first case, nonresponse is a nuisance; in the second case, nonresponse will result in an underestimate of sick people.The entry provides guidance on how to enhance response rates and on how to analyze nonresponse and possibly to adjust for it. It also discusses the tension between efforts of survey agencies to get everyone to participate (and thus obtain good and useful data) and the right of potential respondents to be left alone.
