CARD 55
Literal question
E37. It has been proposed that there should be a European Union-wide social benefit scheme for all poor people. In a moment I will ask you to tell me whether you are against or in favour of this scheme. First, look at the highlighted box at the top of this card, which shows the main features of the scheme. A European Union-wide social benefit scheme includes all of the following: ...READ OUT... - The purpose is to guarantee a minimum standard of living for all poor people in the European Union. - The level of social benefit people receive will be adjusted to reflect the cost of living in their country. - The scheme would require richer European Union countries to pay more into such a scheme than poorer European Union countries. INTERVIEWER: PAUSE TO GIVE THE RESPONDENT TIME TO READ CARD. Overall, would you be against or in favour of having such a European Union-wide social benefit scheme?
