| pn18a071 | The exact same state pension age should apply for everyone. |
| pn18a072 | It is reasonable that if we live longer on average, we should retire at a more advanced age. |
| pn18a073 | If people want to retire before they reach state pension age, they should pay for that out of their own pocket. |
| pn18a074 | The social partners (employers and employees) should enable early retirement for workers with physically demanding jobs. |
| pn18a075 | It is better to invest in younger than in older employees. |
| pn18a076 | When state pensioners work, they rob young people of their livelihoods. |
| pn18a077 | Older employees should step aside (take a job that demands less of them) in order to create career opportunities for younger employees. |
| pn18a078 | When an organization has to reduce staff, younger employees should be given preference to keep their jobs. |

| pn18a083 | Are you satisfied with the manner in which the union fulfils its duties? |
| pn18a084 | How important do you consider unions to be with regard to the conclusion of employment contracts in your industry? |
| pn18a085 | Suppose that somewhere in the coming months, you receive an offer from the union for your industry to become a member for [9/18] euros per month. Would you become a member of the union for your industry? |
| pn18a086 | We must prioritize the environment, even if it is at the expense of economic growth. |
| pn18a087 | I am very concerned about global warming. |
| pn18a088 | We must do everything we can to prevent the extinction of animal species. |
| pn18a089 | Everything that is being said about global warming is highly exaggerated. |
| pn18a090 | When a country’s population shrinks, it is necessary to encourage people to have more children. |
| pn18a091 | When a country’s population shrinks, it is necessary to encourage immigration. |
| pn18a092 | Encouraging pregnancies largely solves the problem of population ageing. |
