Abstract:

This database integrates the portuguese part of ESS Round 8 - European Social Survey 2016 - with country-specific variables, which were only applied in Portugal. These variables are related with the subjects of the multi-country survey and have been elaborated by the portuguese research team.

Sources Statement

Weighting:

(from ESS website) DESIGN WEIGHTS: The purpose of the design weights (DWEIGHT) is to correct for unequal probabilities for selection due to the sampling design used. In general design weights were computed for each country as follows. 1.w = 1/(PROB1*...*PROBk)  is a  nx1 vector of weights ; k depends on the number of stages of the sampling design. 2. All weights were rescaled in a way that the sum of the final weights equals n, i.e. Rescaled weights = n*w/sum(w). POST-STRATIFICATION WEIGHTS: The purpose of the post-stratified design weights (PSPWGHT) is to reduce sampling error and non-response bias, using auxiliary information. The post-stratification targets use information about age, gender, education and region. Raking (iterative proportional fitting) has been used in the production of the post-stratified weights, using the ipfweight procedure in Stata v15. For most countries population targets are weighted estimates from the European Union labour force survey 2016 (Eurostat). Exceptions are Israel (Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics website), Russia (Census 2010; data from ESS NC), Sweden (Statistics Sweden website), Netherlands (ESS NC for region (other variables from ELFS)) and Austria (Statistics Austria website for region (other variables from ELFS)). POPULATION SIZE WEIGHTS: The Population size weight (PWEIGHT) corrects for population size when combining two or more country's data, and is calculated as PWEIGHT=[Population aged 15 years and over]/[(Net sample in data file)*10 000]
