In November 2010 the Public Opinion Research Centre survey has focused extensively on issues of social policy. The survey examined some more general issues like a question, what should be the role of the state and what the role of citizens in social security, whether it should be a strictly targeted system, and whether the social security system in our country is too generous or too weak. People were asked also, how much they think the government cares about the social situation of citizens, and how much the social security system in Czech Republic is abused by its beneficiaries.
