Economic security To obtain insights into opinions on economic security, respondents were asked questions related to the perceived security and stability of their personal and household income at present and in the foreseeable future, their confidence in accessing jobs at present and in future and their opinion on the state of the Albanian economy. In total, 20 questions were dedicated to economic security. The following group of seven questions focuses on obtaining the sense of security towards personal and household income:“How would you judge the current financial situation of your household/family?”,“How do you expect your family’s finances will be in the next 1 to 2 years, compared with today?”,“Is your household/family’s financial situation better or worse than 12 months ago?”,“In 3- 5 years from now, do you think that your household/family’s financial situation will be better or worse than it is today?”,“How worried are you about not being as well-off and financially secure in the next 3- 5 years?”,“How worried are you of not being financially secure in your older age?”,“How worried are you that you may not be able to find suitable housing or keep the one you have?”. In terms of the current financial situation in their household, respondents are rather split: 35.7% say that their current household financial situation is good or very good, 22.4% think it is bad or very bad and 42% say that it is neither good nor bad. Differences are observed in terms of level of education: 36.3% of those with university education think it is good or very good against 20.7% of those with no university education who think the same.
