A number of clients\u2019 questions are combined into one questionnaire. This questionnaire is usually administered to probability sample of 2 200 respondents in the whole country (South Africa). The HSRC undertook 2 Omnibus surveys in 1995 - in February and September. The September 1995 omnibus survey was undertaken over the period 04 September to 06 October 1995. The data from this survey was available in December 1995. The fieldwork was done on a countrywide basis including all nine provinces.","coll_dates":[{"start":"1995-09-04","end":"1995-10-06","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"South Africa","abbreviation":"zaf"}],"geog_coverage":"The survey had national coverage, including coverage of the 'homelands\" of Ciskei and Venda.\n\nThe lowest level of geographic aggregation for the data is Magisterial district.","geog_unit":"The lowest level of geographic aggregation covered by the data is magisterial district","analysis_unit":"Units of analysis in the survey included individuals","universe":"The universe included all household residents 18 years old or older","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"The 1995 Omnibus survey conducted in October collected demographic data (sex, age, marital status, education, language, income, occupation, population group), as well as data on the following topics: The economy, quality of life, local elections, the police services, non-South Africans living in the country, crime and victimization, and perceptions of the government"},"method":{"data_collection":{"sampling_procedure":"The South African population of persons 18 years and older was stratified according to: \nProvince (Western Cape, Eastern Cape, Northern Cape, Orange Free State, Natal\/KwaZulu, Eastern Transvaal, PWV, North Western Province, Northern Transvaal)\nSocio-economic classification:\nRural areas in former self-governing and TBVC states\nSquatter areas in former non-white urban (metro and non- metro areas)\nHostels and hotels\nFormer urban areas for coloureds\nFormer urban areas for a Asians\nFormer urban areas for blacks\nFormer urban (non- metro) areas for whites\nFormer urban (metro) areas for whites\nRural areas, excluding the former self-governing and TBVC states\n\nThe sample allocation to these strata was done roughly proportional to the adjusted 1991 populatio n census figures with a few exceptions, among which was to ensure a minimal provincial total of 120. Multistage stratified cluster (probability) sampling was used to draw the respondents with the adjusted 1991 population census figures as measure of size. Census enumerator areas and similar areas were used as the clusters in the pen-ultimate sampling stage, from which an equal number, viz. one or two by four households were drawn. All clusters were drawn with probability proportional to size, whilst households were drawn from the final clusters with equal probability (systematically). Respondents were drawn at random from qualifying household members. In addition, population of live-in domestic workers was sampled in relation to their residence in already drawn households.","coll_mode":"Face-to-face [f2f]","coll_situation":"MarkData of the Human Sciences Research Council conducted the fieldwork for the survey","weight":"The sample design allocation per population group was not proportional to the population figures as given in the adjusted 1991 census figures as well as updated figures for certain areas such as the former TBVC states. The population total for each region and socioeconomic category was divided by the actual realisation in the particular cell. The figure derived is the pre-weight that was used. The data was weighted for the age group 18 years and older, in other words, the population that qualified as respondents.\n\nThe aim of the factor weighting was to correct the disproportions which were incorporated in the sample design (minimum number of 120 respondents per province, over-sampled population of Asians) and the only weighting targets were stratification variables: \u2018province\u2019 and \u2018socio-economic category\u2019."}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"contact":[{"name":"DataFirst","affiliation":"University of Cape Town","email":"info@data1st.org","uri":"http:\/\/www.datafirst.uct.ac.za"}],"cit_req":"Human Sciences Research Council.
