Allocation of sampling individuals to each stratum according to the size of the population aged
20-89.
a) Sampling of spots
Primary sampling units are based on basic unit districts used for the 2005 Census (about 50
households).
About 15 individuals are sampled per basic unit district in each stratum.
The selection of basic unit districts for sampling is based on the equal interval sampling method
starting with a randomly determined basic unit district.
The interval among sampling spots is computed for each stratum based on the following formula:
( No. of the total population) / (No. of sampling spots assigned)
The order of municipalities for sampling follows the municipal code set by the Ministry of Home
Affairs.
b) Sampling of individuals
Using the basic resident registers, 15 individuals are sampled as the first targets for each spot starting
from a random starting point.
Sampling interval: 21 for a city whose population is over 40,000
11 for a city/suburban district whose population is less than 40,000

Calculation of variable WEIGHT in JGSS-2012
The JGSS-2012 dataset has a variable “WEIGHT” to weight data for population estimates.
This is produced by calculating the number of people which one respondent represents by taking into
consideration the following factors:
Sex (2 categories) x 10-year Age Group (7 categories) = 14 categories
“WEIGHT” for each category was calculated by dividing the population for the category by the
number of respondents for that category.
** The estimated 2011 population for each category is obtained from Population Estimates
(October 1, 2011) by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.
The following table shows the population, the number of respondents and “WEIGHT” thus
calculated for each of the 14 categories.
