Non-probability: Quota
For this survey, we polled 2,000 subscribers/non-subscribers so that the sampling error of the ratio of answers between subscribers/non-subscribers would be about 2% at maximum. Further, based on the results of the 2010 Census by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the "2010 Life Insurance Survey" by the (Public) Life Insurance Culture Center, we calculated the composition percentages of members/non-members by gender and age (*)to determine sampling numbers. *For the calculation of the composition percentage of people in their 70s, we have used the enrollment percentage of people in their 60s, with the necessary modifications. The response rate for female members in their 70s was 86 responses short of our allocation number, but all other attribute classes met their allocation counts. |
