Given the block of questions, they had to assess how the quarantine has affected their daily routine in general in various areas (financial situation, work - 7 choices in total). They were asked how they assess the risk of contracting COVID-19 personally. They were asked to assess the financial situation of the household over the upcoming 12 months and to provide their work status. Opinions on how life in Lithuania and their personal lives have changed over the last 12 months and when the coronavirus pandemic will end were analysed. Later, respondents were asked whether there was a change in the average number of working hours, earnings, workload and stress at work since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. There was a need to know how work relationships with colleagues, supervisors and clients have changed as a result of the pandemic and whether respondents had received help at work from these individuals since the pandemic. They were asked if they had experienced any inappropriate behaviour at work from supervisors, colleagues or clients (e.g., harassment, intimidation, terror, psychological abuse, insults, threats, physical aggression) and where or to whom they would first turn if they encountered such inappropriate behaviour in a workplace. The survey assessed the views on whether the coronavirus pandemic has increased the personal risk of losing a job. The aim was to find out whether there was a period of self-isolation due to the pandemic and its impact on respondents' incomes. Lithuanian workers who had lost their jobs in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic were asked what economic activity they were engaged in. They were asked whether it be difficult or easy to find a new job that suited them if they were to lose their job now. Later on, the survey went on to find out how the respondents' current employer takes care of the safety of its employees and whether there is an existing trade union or a works council in a workplace, and how the activities of these institutions have changed since the pandemic. The question about an average monthly net income was asked. Those Lithuanian workers who had to work remotely in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic were asked to rate a number of statements related to remote work (I have the right conditions at home for remote work, I have the necessary technical tools for remote working - 8 choices in total). The aim was to find out whether the employer provided the necessary tools for remote work (computer, telephone, printer, etc.) and what impact remote work has on work performance. The statement that "once the pandemic is over, I will no longer have my own workspace at my workplace or I will have to share it with another worker" was assessed. All respondents were then asked whether they would like to work remotely in the future and whether the coronavirus pandemic might require them to change their current qualifications and/or elevate their existing skills. They were asked whether they intend to get vaccinated once the coronavirus vaccine becomes available and whether they have any loans. At the end of the survey, there was a block of statements provided about different experiences and respondents had to answer whether they were suitable to describe their current experiences (there are enough people I can turn to in times of trouble - 6 choices in total). <br> <b><i>Socio-demographic characteristics</i></b>: gender, age, place of residence, size of settlement, marital status, education, household size, age of children, nationality, economic activity, category of workers, square metres of living space, number of rooms in the apartment.SPSS, 25Dataverse collection “Monitoring Social Problems” contains surveys studying public opinion about social policy and social issues.<p> The main language of the study is Lithuanian (lit). </p> <p> Standardized questionnaire was provided for the respondents in Lithuanian (lit). </p>Vilnius, LithuaniaResearch Council of Lithuania (Projects for applied research to develop solutions to the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic)S-COV-20-26
