Position of clients of the unemployment insurance act ( WW ), PES 2/7 1992-1994

PES-2/7 ( Project Evaluatie Stelselherziening / Evaluation of the revision of the Dutch social security system ) investigates the position of clients of the Unemployment Insurance Act ( WW / Werkloosheidswet ) in the period 1992 to 1994. Two cohorts of applicants for an unemployment benefit were followed for 18 months at maximum. Both cohorts were interviewed twice with an interval that differed according to their intermediate employment status. Administrative data from relevant registrations were gathered twice too. The combined dataset contains all data from both cohorts. Cohorts can be distinguished by the variable MAAND. The various measurements can be inferred from the naming conventions of the variables: Xnumber = first interview, Ynumber= second interview (8th month after application), Znumber = second interview (18th month after application), Dnumber = first registration data (7th month after application), DTnumber = second registration data (18th month after application). Identical variables have the same number. application for unemployment benefit / employment situation previous / occupational career / additional jobs / income from social security benefits compared to last salary earned / unemployment / role of GMD ( Gemeenschappelijke Medische Dienst / Communal Medical Service ) / role of ergonomist / suitable employment / job seeking history / applications for job / GAB ( Gewestelijk Arbeidsbureau / Regional Labour Exchange ) / reasons for not being hired / reasons for refusing job / reasons for not seeking job / future job seeking plans / if reemployed: detailed data on current employment situation, job satisfaction, current financial situation, income / financial requisites for accepting a job / chances of finding a job / health, complaints / VOEG ( Vragenlijst Onderzoek Ervaren Gezondheid / standard health questionnaire, short version ) / social activity, participation / voluntary work / social contacts / work ethos , perception of and attitude regarding work and unemployment / social justice / height of social premiums and benefits justified ? / correct treatment by official institutions / opinions on Dutch social security system / opinions on duties of benefit receivers / political left-right selfrating / left-right rating of political parties / obstacles for accepting a job / household situation / income / financial situation / regular expenses for housing / satisfaction with the amount of unemployment money / economizing / ending or suspending of benefit / sanctions / cuts / reason for not getting benefit / satisfaction with procedure / problems with contact with GAK or BV ( Bedrijfsvereniging / industrial insurance board ) / opinion on tasks of GAK and BV / help received from GAK or BV / assessment of reasonable income / financial position, debts, savings / ( extra ) schooling and education / discharge / resignation / financial care for children / disablement benefits / extra benefits ( Toeslagenwet ) / work-sheets ( werkbriefjes ).

Legitimering van inrichtingsopvoeding 1986-1987 : Interdoel

Investigation into legitimation of pedagogic aims of residential educational institutes. Using the Delphi-method, a panel of experts, consisting of one staff-member per institute, representatives of referring institutes and external experts, were questioned about the aims of residential educational institutes and future policy regarding function and aims of this kind of educational service. Phase 0 consisted of making an inventory of the characteristic properties of the 14 institutes, the aims of residential youth aid and the policy issues at hand, to result in a common frame of reference for subsequent discussion and a final form for the questionnaire used in phase 1. Phase 1: Each specific expert-category responded to its questionnaire, evaluating and commenting specific aims in the framework of the five common characteristic aspects of the institutes: -national orientation, -closed character, -integrated help, -own educational facilities, -own recreational facilities. Phase 2: G: results of phase 1 were fed into the phase 2 questionnaire to refine discussion. Phase 3: G: results of previous phases resulted in several models for future policy to be evaluated by the expert panel

Nationaal Kiezersonderzoek 2012 - NKO 2012

Dutch Parliamentary Election Study 2012 (DPES/NKO 2012) The Dutch Parliamentary Election Study 2012 has been a collaborative enterprise of the Foundation of Electoral Studies in The Netherlands (Stichting Kiezers Onderzoek Nederland; SKON) and Statistics Netherlands (CBS). The Dutch Parliamentary Election Studies (DPES) are a series of national surveys carried out under the auspices of the Dutch Electoral Research Foundation (SKON). These surveys have been conducted since 1970. Many questions are replicated across studies, although each has questions not asked in the others. The major substantive areas consistently covered include the respondents' attitudes toward and expectations of the government and its effectiveness in both domestic and foreign policy, the most important problems facing the people of the Netherlands, the respondents' voting behavior and participation history, and his/her knowledge of and faith in the nation's political leaders. The DPES 2012 consists of two parts: A first round of interviews (CAPI) and a self-completion questionnaire (PAPI). The interviews with respondents were held in the first seven weeks after the elections. After the interview the interviewee obtained a self-completion questionnaire to fill out. About one week after the interview, a new appointment was made in order for the interviewer to collect the questionnaire. This was done in order to increase the PAPI-response. An important difference with earlier versions of the Dutch Parliamentary Election Study is that usually there were two rounds of interviews held, one before and one after the elections. In 2012 the two rounds were put together into one combined round of CAPI-interviews after the elections. Several variables have been excluded from the public data file in order to protect the privacy of individual respondents. Examples are municipality, zip code and the regional newspaper a person is reading. These variables are available for scientific purposes only at Statistics Netherlands.
