| Summary |
The AsiaBarometer represents the largest ever, comparative survey in Asia, covering East, Southeast, South and Central Asia. The AsiaBarometer distinguishes itself from many others in that it focuses on daily lives of ordinary people. It is not primary about values or democracy. It is primarily about how ordinary people live their life with their worries, angers, desires, and dreams. It focuses secondarily on their relationship to family, neighborhood, workplace, social and political institutions and market place. In a good contrast for others, the AsiaBarometer originates from the genuinely academic interest in the daily lives, views and sentiments of ordinary people in Asia as registered in survey data. And the AsiaBarometer makes utmost efforts to be sensitive to cultures and languages. The AsiaBarometer is a direct and extended successor to the Asia-Europe Survey, an 18 country survey conducted in 2000. The AsiaBarometer is to be conducted every year in 20 countries in East, Southeast, South and Central Asia at least for the next 10 years. The AsiaBarometer is headquartered at the Institute of Oriental Culture, University of Tokyo. It funded by a number of sources: business firms, the University of Tokyo, the Ministry of Education and Science, and a few foundations. Its surveys are conducted by the Gallup International networks coordinated by the Nippon Research Center. |

| Sampling Procedure |
Probability: Systematic random
Probability: Stratified
Probability: Stratified: Proportional
Probability: Multistage
Japan ・First stage: They classified all municipalities in Japan into 5 regions, Hokkaido & Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu & Hokuriku, Kinki, and Chugoku & Shikoku & Kyusyu. Then, in each region, municipalities are stratified into 5 categories corresponding to their population sizes. Two hundred twenty primary sampling units are allocated to each block through proportionate allocation based on the population sizes of age 15 to 79. ・Second stage: Within each block, primary sampling units (census tracts) are randomly chosen through probability proportionate to size sampling. ・Third stage: Ten individuals are systematically chosen from each resident registration ledger of the census tracts. ・The collect rate of the survey is 58.8%. Originally this survey was conducted for the population aged between 15 and 79. However, to compare the results with other countries, the data of the people aged between 20 and 59 are reported. Therefore, valid responses, 857 are mush smaller than 58.8% of the total samples, 2200. (Sampling methodologies of other each country are also mentioned. So refer to the report for details.) |
