TL;DRAbstract

Social surveys are facing new challenges due to the cuts in public funding, the pressure to deliver high quality survey data and the need to develop new sampling procedures. As a consequence, social surveys are undergoing major changes that affect different aspects of their design: the contents, sampling methods, data collection methods, and weighting procedures. This paper provides a brief overview of some of these changes in the light of the conceptual framework of the total survey error. Focusing on the biosocial surveys, the linkage of survey and administrative data and the mixed-mode surveys, the paper highlights their research potential and discusses major issues concerning their implementation.
