Study title

The European Values Study is a large-scale, cross-national and longitudinal survey research program on how Europeans think about family, work, religion, politics, and society. Repeated every nine years in an increasing number of countries, the survey provides insights into the ideas, beliefs, preferences, attitudes, values, and opinions of citizens all over Europe. As previous waves conducted in 1981, 1990, 1999, 2008, the fifth EVS wave maintains a persistent focus on a broad range of values. Questions are highly comparable across waves and regions, making EVS suitable for research aimed at studying trends over time. The EVS 2017 Ukrainian dataset follows all EVS standards regarding methodological and data quality. It is already integrated into the EVS Trend File 1981-2017; and will be integrated into the EVS 2017 Integrated Dataset in a future update.
