Institutional Trust 2001 - Insitutional Trust 2001

The survey has focused on major social institutions, such as the parliament, big business, the daily press, and TV/radio, as well as some specific companies such as Sveriges Television, TV4, IKEA, Skandia, and Volvo. The number of institutions included has varied somewhat over the years.

Some of the institutions and companies have been measured every year while others have been investigated more irregularly. The survey was carried out by NFO Infratest and involved 759 individuals who were interviewed by telephone between October 16 and November 5, 2001. The 2001 survey also included questions about how people perceive the Swedish democratic system, as well as their assessments of how politicians, the business world, the Swedish royal court, and the media function.
