The survey was a project of the HSRC’s Public Opinion Analysis Programme, which aimed to provide regular and reliable data and analysis of national social priority issues. South Africa The survey had national coverage The lowest level of geographic aggregation covered by the data is magisterial district Units of analysis in the survey were individuals 18 years and older. The survey covered all people in the country, 18 years and older. Sample survey data [ssd] The survey collected data on individuals, including gender, age, highest educational qualification, employment status, marital status, and population group, as well as household income data. Public opinion data collected included citizens' political affiliations, and their perceptions of democratic development, national priorities, the economy, government performance and service delivery, and gender and sociopolitical issues. The population was stratified according to nine socio-economic area types. The allocation was roughly proportional to the adjusted 1991 population census figures. Multistage cluster (probability) sampling was used to draw the respondents, using the adjusted 1991 population census figures as a sampling frame. Census enumerator areas and similar areas were used as the clusters in the penultimate sampling stage, from which an equal number of households were drawn. All the clusters were drawn from the final clusters with equal probability (systematically). The respondents were drawn at random from qualifying household members.
