Summary This survey is an Internet-based weekly fixed-point observation survey, conducted with the same question items every Wednesday (starting at 19:00).

Macromill started the public opinion survey, Macromill Daily, in April 2010 (concluded in October 2010) and the consumer survey, Macromill Weekly Index, in March 2011.

The main survey content concerns the amount of money spent in the past one week, what was consumed in the past one week, planned purchases in the coming week, expected changes in spending, and dinner on Sundays.

Further, from March 2013, when the ban on electioneering activities on the Internet was lifted, new question items regarding level of interest in domestic politics, policy themes of interest, emotions/mood, and perception of the state of the economy, etc., were added.

This data is from a survey carried out between April and June 2019.

The main survey content of the Macromill Weekly Index is as follows (see also “Major Survey Items”):
(1) Regarding lifestyle over the past week
(2) Regarding future lifestyle
(3) Regarding the economy
