Skickas
The sixteen neighbors of the European Union are a very mixed bunch. They range from the oil states of Algeria and Libya to wealthy Israel and impoverished Moldova. This group of countries, owing to deep mutual tensions and large geographical distances, either do not or barely talk to each other. The European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) aims to promote prosperity in and relations with the neighboring countries of the EU. The challenge is to understand the economic situations of this very mixed group of neighboring countries. The emphasis is on the importance of good trade relations and the supportive role of the European neighborhood policy. The volume also examines differences among the twenty-seven member states on a broad spectrum of attitudes and preferences. It considers the latest developments in support for EU membership (high) and involvement with the EU (limited).

Surveying Ethnic Minorities
The Impact of Survey Design on Data Quality
AvJoost Kappelhof

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The relationship between survey design and the quality of survey data is the central focus of this book. With regard to data quality, the emphasis is on two aspects that seem to be the most relevant in this context: accuracy and comparability. For accuracy, we mainly focus on representativeness, or how well the population under study is represented by the respondents of a survey, as well as measurement, i.e., how the way in which data is collected from respondents might affect the responses they give. The focus in regards to comparability is on the comparability of data collected from different minority groups. The data is drawn from several large-scale surveys conducted among non-Western minorities in The Netherlands. Attention is also paid to the costs of surveys among non-Western minorities.

How many vulnerable elders live in the Netherlands? Will this number increase remarkably in the years ahead?

In addition, it explores how elders can be protected against vulnerability, compares characteristics of the residential setting and lifestyle of vulnerable and healthy elders, and examines what care and support vulnerable elders receive, including elders who donâ€™t receive care or support.

How is the Dutch population faring? The Social State of the Netherlands 2011 (De sociale staat van Nederland 2011) , the sixth in this series of reports, describes changes that have taken place in key areas of Dutch people's lives over the last ten years. Europe is now in the throes of an economic crisis of unprecedented magnitude. The crisis began in 2008, but the direct consequences for the life situation of most Dutch citizens are only now becoming apparent. The Social State of the Netherlands 2011 covers many domains of Dutch life: education, public opinion, income and work, health, prevention and care, social and political participation and engagement, use of leisure time, mobility, public safety, and housing and the residential setting. By bringing these diverse themes together, placing them in the context of the economic and demographic developments taking place in Dutch society and describing trends over time, this report presents a picture of the overall life situation of the Dutch population.

Intersex/DSD is an umbrella term used to describe various congenital conditions in which the development of sex differs from what medical professionals generally understand to be "male" or "female." The differences may be chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical. There is growing international political attention for the position of people with intersex/DSD. At the same time, there is as yet little solid, research-based knowledge. This exploratory study documents what is currently known about the social situation of people with intersex/DSD in the Netherlands and what problems they may encounter.
