A. Social Sector Surveys

Social Research is a method used by social researchers to learn about people and societies so that they can design products/services that cater to various needs of the people. Different socio-economic groups belonging to different parts of a county think differently. Various aspects of human behavior need to be addressed to understand their thoughts and feedback about the social world, which can be done using Social Research. Any topic can trigger social research – a new feature, new market trend, or an upgrade in old technology.

Social Research is conducted by following a systematic plan of action which includes qualitative and quantitative observation methods.
  • Qualitative methods rely on direct communication with members of a market, observation, and text analysis. The results of this method are focused more on being accurate rather than generalizing to the entire population.
  • Quantitative methods use statistical analysis techniques to evaluate data collected via surveys, polls, or questionnaires.
Social Research contains elements of both these methods to analyze a range of social occurrences such as an investigation of historical sites, census of the country, detailed analysis of research conducted to understand reasons for increased reports of molestation in the country, etc.
A survey to monitor happiness in a respondent population is one of the most widely used applications of social research.
