<b><i>Major investigated questions</i></b>: respondents were asked about their attitude towards work: if work is just a way to earn money and if they would like to have a paid work even if they do not need the money. When analysing which criteria are the most significant in work, respondents were asked how important is workplace security, good opportunities for advancement, high income, work usefulness to the society, etc. It was questioned if respondents have given up or would give up good work opportunities for the benefit of their family life and vice versa, if respondents have remained or would remain in a work that is not satisfying for them for the benefit of their family life. It was analysed if over the past five years interviewed Lithuanian residents felt discrimination related to work, for example when applying for a job, or considering pay increase or promotion. If so, they were asked to indicate the main reason of discrimination: age, race or ethnicity, political beliefs, etc. Also, respondents were asked if over the past five years they have been harassed by their superiors or co-workers in work, for example if they been bullied, physically or psychologically abused. Questions about importance of trade-unions were asked: if workers need strong trade unions to protect their interests and if strong trade unions are band for Lithuania's economy. Further, respondents who are currently working for pay were asked to think about the number of hours they work and the money their earn in their main job, including regular overtime and answer if they would choose to work longer hours and earn more money or vice versa, work fewer hours and earn less money. Question block about work characteristics was presented: workplace security, promotion opportunities, possibility of working independently, work usefulness to the society, etc. were analysed. Work conditions of working respondents were analysed: if respondents have to do hard physical work and if they find their work stressful. It was questioned how often they work at home on usual working hours and how often they need to work on weekends. Respondents were asked to describe organization of their daily work and how difficult it is to take an hour or two off during working hours, to take care of personal or family matters. Work and family balance was analysed: if demands of work interfere with family life. It was questioned how past work experience or/and work skills are useful in current respondents work. Ir was questioned if over the past 12 months respondents had any training in workplace or somewhere else to improve their work skills. Relations between management and employees and between workmates (colleagues) in a workplace were analysed. It was questioned how satisfied respondents are with their main job. Question block to assess employees relations with their firm or organization was presented. It was questioned how difficult or easy it would be for respondents to find a job at least as good as the current one and how likely it is that respondents will try to find a job with another firm or organization in the next 12 months. Respondents were asked how worried their are about possibility of loosing their job. Question block was asked to determine to what extent respondents would agree to accept a job that requires new skills, takes longer to get to work, position with lower pay, etc. in order to avoid unemployment. It was questioned if over the past 12 months, respondents had other jobs in addition to their main one and how much did respondents earn for their additional job compared with their main one. Respondents who are not working for pay were asked if they ever had a paid job for one year or more. It was questioned how satisfied they were with the last job and what was the main reason that their job ended. Respondents were asked if they would like to have a paid work either now or in the future and how likely is that they will find a job. Further, respondents were asked to what extent, if at all, they worry about the possibility of not finding a job and what they are willing to do in order to get a job. Question block to analyse if respondents did something to find a job was presented: registered to national Labour Exchange, answered advertisements for jobs, applied directly to employers, etc. It was questioned if over the last 12 months respondents trained to improve their work skills and if currently they are looking for a job. Respondents were asked what is their main economic support and to what extent, if at all, they worry about the possibility of loosing their support. It was questioned how respondents overall evaluate their financial situation. Respondents were asked how their financial situation changed compared to 5 years ago and what their financial situation will likely be in 5 years.
