Trendy ve vývoji výpadků návratnosti českých šetření po r. 1990

Non-response rates among Czech respondents in surveys between 1995 and 2005 were almost twice the rate between 1991 and 1995. Such trends point to a decline in the “survey climate.” While non-contacts and refusals are a significant problem, issues relating to how fieldwork is undertaken are equally important. The large fluctuations in non-contacts and the relative success of the Czech Statistical Office and the ESS II. survey demonstrates that prudent surveying strategies can be effective.
