At <span>CRRC<\/span>, we think that the new name better reflects the essence of the survey and is more understandable for the general public and the journalists.<\/p>\n<p>The Data Initiative was first launched in 2004. Since 2007, a representative sample of approximately 2,000 respondents is interviewed annually in each of the counties. They answer core questions about household composition, social and economic situation of households, employment status, assessments of social and political situation in the countries, as well as respondents&#8217; perceptions about direction of life. In addition, we include questions about media, health, crime, and other topical issues.<\/p>\n<p>The change of the name, however, will not cause any changes in the way the survey is carried out &#8211; it is still an annual survey conducted every fall in all countries of the South Caucasus, employing the same methodology and the same survey instrument. Its major goal is to get reliable longitudinal empirical data to understand various aspects of the processes of social transformation in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. We are committed to ensure the highest possible scientific quality through all the steps of survey implementation.<\/p>\n<p>The data and the survey documentation are open to all interested researchers and represent a unique tool for further quantitative analysis.
