Abstract: This paper analysed the impact of access to welfare information and perception of welfare labelling alongside socio‐demographic determinants (education, occupation and children) and welfare responsibility on
welfare friendly consumption behaviour of consumers in nine European countries. We used Eurobarometer data (2006) and structural equation models with observed and latent variables. The results show that the ranking of
determinants’ impact on behaviour is similar in the majority of models, with access to information as strongest determinant, followed by perceived responsibility of consumers and education with strong influence, then by
labelling with lower impact and ending with children, with the lowest influence on behaviour. The only determinant with a very different influence on behaviour between the different models was found to be occupation.
