Special Eurobarometer 350: The European Social Fund

The key findings of this survey are that Europeans: ♦ Want the European Union to address unemployment as a priority for the EU (63%); ♦ Consider poverty as the second EU priority (42%); ♦ See job creation as the priority area for the investment of EU resources (56%); ♦ Accept the ESF’s commitment to focus on the EU as a whole (59%), rather than only on the poorer regions (27%); ♦ Are now more likely to have heard of the ESF (40%) than a year ago (33%). However, very few Europeans actually know what the ESF does (13%). #####The results by volumes are distributed as follows: * Volume A: Countries * Volume AA: Groups of countries * Volume A' (AP): Trends * Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries * Volume B: EU/socio-demographics * Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics * Volume C: Country/socio-demographics ---- Researchers may also contact GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences: [https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer](https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer)
