Acknowledgement of assistance to by made by users of the data
All manuscripts utilizing the data documented in this codebook should identify the original collectors of
the data. All users are urged to include some adaptation of the following statement in their publication
(the brackets indicate items which can be inserted or deleted as appropriate):
Data collection was carried out as part of the EUREQUAL project ‘Social Inequality and Why It
Matters for the Economic and Democratic Development of Europe and Its Citizens: PostCommunist Central and Eastern Europe in Comparative Perspective’, funded by the European
Commission under contract No 028920 (CIT5), Framework 6. Fieldwork was conducted by
national survey/polling institutes in each country (face-to-face interviews) on the basis of stratified
national random probability samples.
Any publication based on these data should be noted in the EUREQUAL Working Papers page available
from the homepage of the EUREQUAL project: http://eurequal.politics.ox.ac.uk/papers/

Organization and Design
Introduction and Study Design
The EUREQUAL mass public surveys are sample surveys of the electorates of 13 Central and Eastern
European (CEE) and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS): Belarus, Bulgaria, the Czech
Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, and Ukraine.
It primarily focuses on the issue of social inequality and includes a wide variety of individual-level
attitudinal variables related to current reforms, the perception of government, affiliations; socioeconomic location and status variables (including demographics, perceptions of changes in the standard
of living, work situation, marital status, family circumstances, health, background, and class); political
behavior (including voting, political efficacy, participation). It also includes appended macro-level
variables related to political and economic contexts (described below).
Every attempt was made for the questionnaires of this study to be identical across the various member
states. As such, the data provide wide opportunities for comparative analyses across the post-communist
region.
The contents of the questionnaire are briefly described in the VARIABLE DESCRIPTION LIST, and
verbatim (in its English version) in the section containing the TEXT OF QUESTIONS IN
QUESTIONNAIRES. Appendices and further documentation follow this section. Finally, a master
English Language copy of the survey is provided as additional documentation.
The coded data from the study have been organized in a single SPSS data file (also available in STATA).
The number of interviews conducted in the different countries is below:

Cleaning and Data Preparation
The preparation of the final datasets and their documentation was carried out by Matthew Loveless. This
data processing included the following:

Cleaning: The data were checked for non-documented or incorrect codes. The data were
evaluated separately (by country) for basic coherency and consistency and, where possible and
necessary, assigned missing data codes for 'don't know', 'not ascertained' and 'inappropriate'.
Inasmuch as possible, the data include as much information for each country as possible.

Systematization of coding: As far as possible, and where this was originally not the case, the
same numerical values were assigned to categories of different variables which had the same set
of response options. For example, various questions involve coding of political parties. A second
systematization involves the checking the ordering of the response codings to assure a consistent
direction, e.g. from low to high codes for the different response options. A final case involves
the systematization of missing data codes, to facilitate their uniform handling by the analyst.
Country-specific discrepancies from the master English questionnaire are noted in the
questionnaire at the end of this document.

Adding of analytical variables and tools: The data file contains a series of variables added for
the convenience of users. They are comprised of variables such as weighting factors,
standardization of common cross-national variables (the codings are also included in the
questionnaire), and national level measures. For any addition to the original data, documentation
is included in the questionnaire and this document.

Ordering of variables into coherent blocks: the ordering of the variables in the files has been
arranged in such a way that identification of relevant information and navigation through the
files is greatly facilitated. Quick reviews of the contents of the EUREQUAL data files can be
attained by scanning the VARIABLE DESCRIPTION LIST.

b) Next, please think about the other people in your household and what sources of income they have.
Can you tell me how much is their total income before taxes? NOTE: All of the countries labelled variable ‘l6b’
as “household/total”. However, the question asks about additional income from other members of the household not
total. For some of the countries, the responses are often lower than the amount in the previous question and thus likely coded
correctly as additional, not total. Other countries did not. No changes have been made to these data.

APPENDIX 9: Class Variables
Respondents, partners, and parents’ ISCO-88 codes (International Classification of Occupation) were
transformed to reflect the 10 category EGP (Erikson, Goldthorpe, Portocarero) class schema.
Source: Ganzeboom, Harry B.G.;Treiman, Donald J., International Stratification and Mobility
File: Conversion Tools. Utrecht: Department of Sociologie,
http://www.fss.uu.nl/soc/hg/ismf.
ISCO-88 Reference: ILO (International Labour Office). (1990). International standard
classification of occupations : ISCO-88. Geneva: International Labour Office.

mobility in three Westen European Countries: England, France, and Sweden. British Journal of
Sociology 30: 415-451.
In order to match the data demands of this conversion, the transformation used the question:
[for respondent, from above] H8. Which of the descriptions on this list best describes the position you have
(had) at work? CODE ONE ONLY; IF MORE THAN ONE APPLIES, CODE THE HIGHEST ON
THE LIST. (PEASANTS WHO PRIMARILY WORK THEIR OWN LAND SHOULD BE CODED
2. PEASANTS WHO PRIMARILY WORK ON A COLLECTIVE FARM SHOULD BE CODED 5).
Employer
Self-employed or own account worker
High and middle level manager (supervises people who have subordinates)
Low level manager i.e. foreman (supervises people who have no subordinates)
Employee (without control over anyone)
1
2
3
4
5
For respondent’s second job (if applicable), J8; for partner, K7; for father, N7; and mother, N13.
This conversion requires two additional pieces of information to the ISCO-88 occupational codes.
1. Self-employment status: To determine self-employed, all responses with “Self-employed or own account
worker”, ‘2’ [from H8/J8/K7/N7/N13] were included. Other responses were coded as non-selfemployed.
2. Supervisory Status: Supervisory roles were determined similarly with H8/J8/K7/N7/N13 responses of
“Low level manager i.e. foreman (supervises people who have no subordinates”, ‘4’, “Employee (without
control over anyone)”, ‘5’, and “Self-employed or own account worker”, ‘’2’, coded as a supervisor of
zero (‘0’). “Employer”, ‘1’, was coded as a medium level supervisor (=5). “High and middle level manager
(supervises people who have subordinates)”, ‘3’, was coded as a supervisor who have many (>25)
subordinates.
Give the nature of the data, if in the rare instance that the first occupation was either ISCO-88 noncompliant or missing, the second job was used to replace the first. Codes were also created for “Never
had a paying job”, ‘97’. Specifically, in the case that the ISCO-88 code was missing and the response to
question ‘H5b’ (“Have you ever had a paying job?”) was ‘No’ (i.e. coded ‘2’).

for 1996-2006. Note: The governance indicators presented here aggregate the views on the quality of
governance provided by a large number of enterprise, citizen and expert survey respondents in industrial
and developing countries. These data are gathered from a number of survey institutes, think tanks, nongovernmental organizations, and international organizations. The aggregate indicators do not reflect the
official views of the World Bank, its Executive Directors, or the countries they represent. Countries'
relative positions on these indicators are subject to indicated margins of error that should be taken into
consideration when making comparisons across countries and over time.
