Intercultural Trends in the Euro-Med Region Country results: Algeria 1
Methodological note The Anna Lindh Foundation commissioned Ipsos to undertake its third opinion poll to measure intercultural trends in the Euro-Mediterranean Region. The opinion poll was carried out in eight European countries (Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Romania, Sweden) and five SEM countries/territories (Algeria, Jordan, Lebanon, Mauritania, Morocco). The target population consists of all individuals aged 15 or older (16 in Czechia and Sweden), resident in each of the countries covered. In all countries, the target sample size was 1,000 fully- completed interviews. Fieldwork for all countries bar Mauritania took place between 9 March 2020 and 16 June 2020, with a suspension of fieldwork part-way through due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fieldwork in Mauritania took place between 28 August 2020 and 09 October 2020. In all countries, a CATI (Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing) methodology was implemented. Random probability sampling was used in all countries except Mauritania, where quota sampling was used. All findings presented are based on weighted data. A post-stratification weight was calculated that corrects for imbalances in the samples with respect to gender, age and activity status. Where the percentages provided do not add up to or exceed 100%, this may be due to rounding. 2 Intercultural Trends in the Euro-Mediterranean Region Results by country
