Abstract
"The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of non-response on the representiveness of the GHS [General Household Survey] achieved sample by comparing respondents and non-respondents to the 1981 GHS in terms of their characteristics as recorded in the 1981 [United Kingdom] Census of Population." The predominant finding is that "households containing dependent children and individuals in age-groups most often found in such households were over-represented in the sample and non-family households and individuals in some of the older age-groups under-represented."
