In November 2013, respondents had to assess security threats related to selected groups in the Czech Republic and they were also expressing views on threats by war, epidemics, natural disasters, economic crisis or resource crisis.

In the November investigation the Centre for Public Opinion Research included issues related to social policy. First, we examined the extent to which social security should be ensured by the state in the view of Czech citizens, what the level of social security is and whether the social benefits should be granted all the citizens, or just certain groups of society. Next, we asked how the government cares about citizens' social situation and how the citizens themselves take care about their social situation. The research also looked at the evaluation of the level of abusing of the social security system.
