Second release of Round 11 data now available
The second edition of European Social Survey (ESS) Round 11 (2023/24) data is now available to view or download via the ESS Data Portal.
Compared to the first edition released in June 2024, the dataset now includes a further 11 participating countries.
Data is now available from 24 countries in total: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
In addition, data from Czechia (conducted as self-completion rather than face-to-face) has been published under Study documentation: Country Documentation for Czechia.
31 countries participated in this latest round of our survey – a final data release including the remaining countries is expected to be published in spring 2025.
The second release now includes post-stratification weights for all countries. The release also includes data from the interviewer's questionnaire and contact forms.
Respondents in Round 11 were asked questions during face-to-face interviews following a mixed-mode approach implemented in Round 10 due to pandemic-related restrictions.
Data is available for more than 200 questions asked in all countries, including respondents’ ancestry; education; employment; financial circumstances; household composition; and other socio-demographics including sex, age and information about their partners and parents.
Attitudinal data collected in every round focuses on climate change and energy; crime and justice; democracy and government; immigration; health and wellbeing; institutional and social trust; media and internet use; European, national and ethnic identity; perceived discrimination; political affiliation, interest and participation; religion; social exclusion; and values.
Additionally, Round 11 included two modules on dedicated topics.
Led by Susan Banducci (University of Birmingham), the gender module explores attitudes towards feminine and masculine identities, sexism, gender discrimination and gender equality.
This is the first time there has been a dedicated set of questions on gender included in the ESS.
The health module was designed by a team led by Mirza Balaj (CHAIN Scientific coordinator Norwegian University of Science and Technology).
Most of the items in this module, which explores the social determinants of health outcomes, were repeated from Round 7 (2014/15).
