Equal number of responses collected from each prefecture in Japan (63 people per prefecture) Equal number of responses collected from people who are married with no children/married with one child/married with two or more children → 47 (number of prefectures) x 3 (each category) = 21 people in each of the 141 cells, totaling 2,961 responses. After collecting responses, (1) the composition ratio of each prefecture among all married people and (2) the composition ratio of the number of children the married people have were calculated using the 2010 (Heisei 22) Population Census of Japan and weighted. *The above respondents were selected using the results of a screener survey. The figures in the report are the scores after weighting. |
