Japanese General Social Survey (JGSS), 2015

The Japanese General Social Surveys (JGSS) Project is a Japanese version of the General Social Survey (GSS) project closely replicating the original GSS of the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago. It provides data for analyses of Japanese society, attitudes, and behaviors, which make possible international comparisons. Respondents were asked about employment and career growth, family and household composition, education, entertainment, technology and Internet usage, status and opinions on mental and physical health, alcohol and tobacco use, participation in gambling, addiction, life satisfaction, voting behavior, opinions on political and social issues, income, taxes and government expenditure, family beliefs and issues, trust in people and institutions, membership in organizations, views on burial, sustainability measures, and their neighborhood environment. Demographic questions included age, sex, marital status, household income, and religious orientation and behavior.
