Perception of problems

"Which do you think are the five most important problems in Switzerland?" 1988–2007 - Unemployment, health service, state retirement pension

Question wording: ‘On these cards you see some issues that have been intensely discussed and written about lately. Please look carefully at all of the cards and select those showing what you consider to be the five most important problems in Switzerland’. Percentages correspond to the proportion of respondents who selected the issue. Due to a change in the concept, data before and after 1995 are only partially comparable.

Sample size: 1000 per year.
