Measuring Support for Economic Reform
• User fees – It is better to raise educational standards, even if we have to pay school
fees
• Job cuts – The government cannot afford so many public employees and should
lay some of them off.
• Economic impact – The government’s economic policies have helped most people; only a
few have suffered (percent agree/agree very strongly).
• Economic patience– In order for the economy to get better in the future, it is necessary for
us to accept some hardships now.

avoiding a fine or arrest)? – And during the XXXX election, how often (if ever) did a
