Ipsos

Ipsos Capibus uses a two-stage random location sample design which generates a very high-quality sample representative of the Great Britain adult population. Interviews are conducted via c170-180 sampling points, randomly selected every week, and CACI ACORN is employed to set interlocking quota controls specific to each interviewer location. This ensures consistent, accurate representation of the locations interviewed every week. By using this proven sample design, all sub-sectors of the population are represented – at a national and regional level.

All information collected on Capibus is then weighted to reflect the known profile of the adult population in Great Britain. Capibus uses a rim weighting system which weights the 2011 census and PAMCo-defined profiles for age, social grade, region, ethnicity and working status – within gender. Additional profiles used include tenure and car in household, for example.

Because the sampling process is repeated every week, the Capibus sample is matched wave on wave, making it ideal for taking successive measurements on the same issue.

Socio-economic grade is classified according to the occupation of the chief income earner in the household. A number of questions are asked by the interviewer in order to assign social grade accurately. The interviewer probes the respondent for information about the occupation of the chief income earner, the type of organisation they work for, job actually done, job title/rank/grade, and whether the chief income earner is self-employed. Additionally, questions are asked about the number of people working at the place of employment and whether the chief income earner is responsible for anyone, together with confirmation of qualifications. Once the interviewer is satisfied that sufficient information has been gathered in order to determine social grade, their estimate is recorded and this is later double-checked for accuracy by experts in social grading coding at Ipsos when it can be amended if necessary.
