Abstract

The "Family and Lifestyle Survey" is a registered consumer tester-based survey designed to collect information on (1) basic household attributes, education, and employment history; (2) parent household attributes (including education and employment history); (3) household asset holdings (financial assets, tangible assets, and human assets); and (4) household inheritances, while gauging the attitudes of surveyed households on public services, level of national burden, and the child allowance policy. This paper presents the summary of the survey, including its objectives, questions, and methodology, and also provides a comparison of the survey sample distributions with those from the Population Census of Japan (henceforth "the census"), in order to identify bias and other characteristics of the sample and thus facilitate future use and analysis of the survey.
