de Jacques-René Rabier, Ronald Inglehart, Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research

To mark International Women's Year and to arrive at a better understanding of men's and women's attitudes, this study focused on the status of women in the European Community. Respondents were asked about the importance of this topic, and their perceptions and evaluations of changes in the status of women. The study also inquired into the desires of both men and women to see fewer differences between the sexes. Finally, the survey probed attitudes toward the political role of women. A second section of the survey dealt with attitudes toward the European Community and the unification of Europe. A variety of measures were used to obtain information on support for European unification and to determine what problems faced the European Community. A third section studied the respondents' satisfaction with the quality of life. Six life domains were assessed: economics, housing, occupation, society, leisure, and social relations. The survey also includes standard demographic information for each respondent.
