Non-probability: Quota
In the planning stages, we decided to aim for 10,000 responses. With reference to the estimated populations of survey areas and age groups given in the employment structure basic survey, we set our composition ratio of individuals in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s at 2:3:3:2 as a guide. Additionally, we referenced the employment structure basic survey for composition ratios of regular employees, other employees, self-employed business, and unemployed individuals to come up with a 5:2:1:2 ratio. We concluded our survey after getting close enough to achieving our composition ratio target. |
