Special Eurobarometer 508 on Values and Identities of EU citizens
Values are called the dominating forces in life while our identity determines nothing less than who we are. Both are therefore very important in explaining citizens’ policy preferences. But what exactly are these values and identities? To what extent are they shared among EU citizens? In what sense do they differ among different EU Member States? How do they relate to how citizens identify themselves? What parallels can be drawn between the answers to different questions, and to what extent do more traditionally important socio-demographic factors such as gender, age, education, financial situation, Internet use, political leanings or other determinants relate to both? These are the questions this survey seeks to answer with a representative sample of citizens from all EU Member States.
