A new European Social Survey (ESS) publication that explores attitudes towards economic and educational inequalities and the fairness of income will be launched by a selection of its authors at this online event.Written by the team of external academics who initially proposed the module of questions in 2016, the report also explores views on the fairness of life chances and political procedures. ESS Round 9 - fielded in 2018/2019 amongst respondents in 27 countries - featured questions on the perceptions of justice for self and others regarding different outcomes such as income, education and job chances for the first time. Drawing on this rich pool of information, this webinar will give an introduction to the module and present initial results on the normative views people across Europe hold - on the principles that should guide the fair allocation of goods and burdens within a society, the fairness of incomes for self and for others, the fairness of life chances, and the fairness of political procedures.
