Survey methodology

THE Indian Express-CNN-IBN-Dawn-CSDS “State of the Nation Survey” was designed and analysed by the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, Delhi. The findings are based on a purely urban sample of 2,030 respondents in India and 1,011 respondents in Pakistan. The findings represent the views, opinions and attitudes of urban India and urban Pakistan and not a cross-section of population in the two countries.

In Pakistan, the sample was drawn from the top 10 cities in terms of population, while in India the sample was drawn from the top 20 cities. The number of interviews conducted in each city is in proportion to the population of the city. There were more interviews from bigger cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Karachi and Lahore than in cities like Lucknow, Patna and Quetta. In Pakistan, the interviews were randomly conducted in 40 locations in the sampled cities, and in India the respondents were randomly interviewed across 136 locations. Keeping in mind the diversity within the urban population, the locations were selected in order to get a representative sample in terms of gender, economic classes, age groups and caste-communities. Muslims were over sampled in India, as their number in a probability sample would have been too small. But the findings presented are based on a weighted data set, which adjusts for the over sampled cases. The sample comprised 43 per cent women in India, and 50 per cent women in Pakistan.
