Abstract:
This paper concentrates on the role of social survey researchers as middle man between the citizen and government in this information interface. It draws attention to some of the factors, from both sides, affecting the quality of survey material, and shows how and why many surveys have to compromise between what government wants to know and what it is feasible to collect.
