ESS 1 – European Social Survey 2002, Sweden
https://doi.org/10.5878/001558
This survey is the Swedish part of the 2002 'European Social Survey ' (ESS), and is focusing on immigration and citizen involvement in particular as well as on media and social trust, politics, subjective well being, household characteristics and socio-demographics as well as human values which are part of the core model of ESS.
Purpose:
The European Social Survey (the ESS) is an academically-driven social survey designed to chart and explain the interaction between Europe's changing institutions and the attitudes, beliefs and behaviour patterns of its diverse populations.
Data were checked for logical coherence and for correct use of filter instructions, and edited via both individual and automatic corrections.

Population:
Individuals born before 1 September 1987
Sampling procedure:
Description of sampling:
Single stage (without clustering) probability sampling. Fully random sample of individuals (equal probability selection) born before 1 September 1987.
The sampling frame is the register of the population, which includes all individuals living in Sweden. The register is updated continuously. Individuals that do not reside on the address stated in the register will be traced through the use of complementary registers. Individuals residing in the country illegally cannot be selected, but the proportion of such individuals is small in Sweden and is thus unlikely to cause any substantial bias. The sampling frame includes those living in institutions, since there is no way to filter them.
