Special #Eurobarometer: How fair do Europeans think life in the EU is?
A new poll, published today (23 April), shows that most Europeans think life is generally fair, but have concerns over justice, political decisions and income inequality.
Education, Culture, Youth and Sport Commissioner Tibor Navracsics, responsible for the Joint Research Centre, which conducted the Eurobarometer, said: "Fairness is a crucial part of building a more resilient, cohesive Europe. Our initiatives in this area need to be based on sound evidence, but at the same time take Europeans' values and perceptions into account. I am proud that the JRC’s work is helping us increase our knowledge on both counts, making a vital contribution to our efforts to build a better Europe for the future."
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker made fairness in the EU the cornerstone of his political priorities. To support this effort with scientific evidence, the Commission's science and knowledge service, the Joint Research Centre, produced its first Fairness Report last year.
The results of the Special Eurobarometer survey published today will help shed light on the wider questions of perceived unfairness in employment, education, health and society at large. The Eurobarometer, a report and accompanying country fiches for all EU member states are published here.
