The World Values Survey

The goal of the World Values Survey is to study the beliefs and basic values of the publics of countries throughout the world. The project has carried out five waves of surveys since 1981 and is currently completing its sixth. The survey explores people's orientations toward economic, social, political, religious and other aspects of life: it provides insight into the worldviews of representative national samples of the public of each country. So far the World Values Survey has been carried out in more than 100 countries containing more than 95 percent of the world's population. Data from the World Values Surveys is made freely available to the public, and has been used in publications by the United Nations, the World Bank, the Economist, and many other leading sources of information and policy analysis.
