1. Confidentiality/Disclosure Risk: In order to protect respondent anonymity and

prevent disclosure risk, the variable PREF was removed from the data collection.
2. English Dataset: Users may notice that the Original P.I. Documentation
references a Japanese dataset, however, ICPSR currently only provides the
English version of the dataset.
3. Sequential Record Identifier: ICPSR created a unique sequential record

identifier variable named CASEID.
4. Duplicate Value labels: The variables XXJOBE and SSXXJOBE contain

duplicate value labels. No additional information was provided.
5. Recodes: Age variables (AGEB, AGESTPWK, SPAGEX, PPAGE, MMAGE,

CC01AGE, CC02AGE, CC03AGE, CC04AGE, CC05AGE, CC06AGE,

List of Variables Requiring Attention
JGSS is repeated cross-sectional survey, but even if the question items are the same as in foregoing survey
years, subtle changes may have been made. For instance, the wording for response choices may be slightly
different.
With SPSS data, even in such cases, the same variable names and the latest wording for choices are used, but
slight differences depending on the survey year could influence interpretation of the results of data analysis.
The following list is the notes for each variable. Variable names are sorted in alphabetical order. When using
these variables for analysis, check the contents of the notes.
CC[**]AGE
Until 2002, this question had asked the age of the respondent's own children only. Since 2005, this question
has asked for all children including adopted children and stepchildren. The questionnaire in 2006 asked the

was asked directly.
CC[**]JOB
The questionnaire in 2006 asked the job status of children who were “not living together,” and totals were

been included in the target range. You can make the target range almost identical by removing students
(TP5UNEMP) from the target range after 2002. See the survey questionnaire of each year for details.
WEIGHT
Different classifications were used between surveys up through 2003 and surveys from 2005. See JGSS-2006

Population: Males and Females 20-89 years of age
Sample Size: 8,000
Sampling Method: Two-stage stratified random sampling
Number of Sampling Spots: 529 points
Form of Register: Basic Resident Register
Survey administration: Both face-to-face interview and placement (self-administered) method
Number of Valid Responses: Form A: 2,060
Form B: 2,160
Response Rate: Form A: 58.2%
Form B: 60.6%
1. Sampling process
Stratification of population, by region (6) and by population size of cities/districts (4)
Largest cities: Sapporo, Sendai, Saitama, Chiba, Tokyo Metropolitan Area, Yokohama,
Kawasaki, Niigata, Shizuoka, Hamamatsu, Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka, Sakai,
Kobe, Hiroshima, Kitakyushu, Fukuoka
Cities with population of 200000 or more
Cities with population of less than 200000
Town / village
Allocation of sampling individuals to each stratum according to the size of the population aged
20-89.
a) Sampling of spots
The number of sampling spots for each stratum is adjusted so that the number of the sampling
individuals in each spot would be around 15.
The interval of sampling spots is computed for each stratum based on the following formula:
(No. of primary units) / (No. of sampling spots)
Primary sampling unit: Primary unit (about 50 households) used for the 2005 Census.
From a list of primary units for each stratum (units are ordered according to the code of
cites/wards/towns and villages made by the Ministry of Home Affairs), sample the necessary number
of spots starting from a random starting point.
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-2008
The JGSS-2008 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 2008 population for each category was obtained by adjusting the
estimated 2008 population based on the 2005 Population Census.
The following table shows the population, the number of respondents and “WEIGHT” thus
calculated for each of the 14 categories.
