Surprising findings on social cohesion
February 12th, 2021
In 2020, in the context of the dislocation of Australian society by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Scanlon Foundation conducted two national surveys, its thirteenth and fourteenth since 2007, providing insight into the resilience of Australian society during a major crisis.
The surveys, employing large probability samples (3,090 respondents in July, 2,793 in November) are sufficiently large to provide insight not only into opinion at the national level, but also into segments of the population differentiated by age, educational attainment, financial status and political alignment.
