Abstract

The second “Family and Lifestyle Survey” is a registered consumer tester-based survey designed to collect information about (1) the basic attributes, education, job history, and quality of life of households in Japan; (2) household receipts of gifts and inheritances; (3) household income and expenditures; and (4) the employment history of respondents and their spouse, while also (5) inquiring into attitudes towards various policies such as the rise in the consumption tax rate and the child allowance policy. This survey is a follow-up survey of households that responded to the first survey carried out in 2011, allowing us to create a panel. This paper presents a summary of this most recent survey (the second round), including its objectives, questions, and methodology, along with basic tabulation results. In Appendix 1 at the end of the paper, we also briefly discuss the characteristics of survey subjects from which we were unable to obtain responses in this round of the survey.
