    Socio-Economic/Monitoring Survey [hh/sems]
    Abstract

    The COVID 19 outbreak lead to significant challenges. From efforts to contain the spread of the virus to policy aimed at dampening the economic pain of the virus, policy makers have been presented with numerous decisions. In support of informing these efforts in Georgia, CRRC Georgia conducted six surveys between late April and early June, with the support of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Tbilisi. The results were presented on a weekly basis to stakeholders in the Government of Georgia, international organizations, diplomats, and NGOs working on the crisis.

    Weighting

    CRRC-Georgia used demographic information from the 2014 Georgian National Census for adjusting results based on respondents’ gender, age, ethnic identity, education, and residence. This helps balance the proportions of those groups which might be underrepresented in the raw data.

    Survey instrument

    Questionnaires

    The surveys covered a wide range of subjects. A set of core questions about institutional performance and approval of newly introduced policies were asked on each wave of the survey to track changes in public opinion. Each survey also included questions on the economic situation and a number of practices. Aside from these blocks, a set of new questions were introduced on a weekly basis to explore specific sets of issues in depth. Topics included religion, education policy, disinformation, gender, and democracy.
