Voices of the People

Data Mining and Analysis Study

Public Opinion in Guinea-Bissau

The data mining and analysis inquiry generated unique insights from the 2018 survey data set, based on a national sample of 1,184 interviews. It devised an original method using statistical instruments to develop 55 indexes clustered around six themes: social strata, support for democracy, engagement in public life, capacity for social coexistence, disposition towards social equality, and risk of religious sectarianism. All these indexes were combined with a variety of demographic and identity indicators to produce an informational ‘gold mine’, of exceptional value for understanding life conditions, perceptions, opinions, and values among the Bissau-Guinean people. This report includes nine annexes (mostly Excel tables) that amount to 6,190 pages.
