Local politicians 1979-80 - Local government councillors

https://doi.org/10.5878/002360
The survey forms part of the project ´Local government - an evaluation of the reform of amalgamation of municipalities´. The main issues dealt with how the organisation of political representatives looks like, its size, who becomes a local politician, and the working conditions for local politicians. It also deals with the part the political parties play in the parliamentary arena in the municipalities. Another topic is the reasons for people to leave their municipal positions of trust. The study is partly a replication of Local representatives 1968 (SSD 0110).
