Data from the ninth round of the European Social Survey covering attitudes on health, climate change, democratic values, and social trust across 30+ European countries. Used in data engineering for longitudinal survey analysis, cross-national comparison pipelines, and social science research datasets in Python.
ESS Round 9 data is downloadable as CSV or SPSS from the ESS website. Engineers load it with `pandas.read_csv()` or `pyreadstat.read_sav()`, applying design weights for nationally representative estimates. The `esspy` library simplifies ESS-specific analysis tasks.
ESS Round 9 microdata trains AI models for European public opinion analysis. The module on justice and fairness provides labeled attitude data for fine-tuning sentiment models. Build a RAG system on ESS Round 9 country reports to answer questions about European social attitudes with survey-backed evidence.
