The CANS Survey in Three Spanish Regions: Preliminary Advancement of Results on Solidarity Matters Enric Martínez-Herrera RSCAS, Firenze, 15 June 2009
Warning on Weighting • Careful selection of pollster that could really conduct interviews in Catalan and Galician • Galician (and Basque) elections • The samples have to be weighted in order to attain the proportions of international and national migrants at the census and hence producing valid results • International migrants under-represented on purpose but ensuring they are represented (in special, Africans) by at least 75% of their numbers in census • National migrants (seriously) under-represented by pollster dessign-effect in Catalonia E.
