If the latter, members asked for own estimation of reasons why selected. The effects of panel membership financially, and in terms of time were ascertained, as was the importance of remuneration to the respondent. Particular satisfactions and dissatisfactions of participation are listed, as are respondent-perceived qualifications, experience and personal characteristics necessary in good lay and professional members. A final section asks for comments on the methods of recruiting and selecting members, any changes needed in the kinds of people appointed and, generally, on the work of the panel.<br> Background Variables<br> Age, sex, home town or nearest town, highest formal education or professional qualification, employment status (employed, self-employed, housewife, retired), last paid occupation, husband's occupation in case of married women, judicial or semi-judicial experience with details and dates, membership of professional, occupational or trade union organisations with details and dates, voluntary work done between 1961 and 1971 (with details and dates), membership of societies and associations with particular political connections, party voted for in last election, date of first appointment to Rent Assessment Panel and finally a detailed statement of income and salary from all sources.<br></h5> <h3>Coverage: </h3><h5> <br><i class='myclass'>Dates of Fieldwork: </i> October 1969 to June 1971<br> September 1971 to October 1972 <br><i class='myclass'>Country: </i> England and Wales <br><i class='myclass'>Spatial Units: </i> No information recorded <br><i class='myclass'>Observation Units: </i> No information recorded </h5> <h3>Universe Sampled: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Location of Units of Observation:</i> National <br><i class='myclass'>Population:</i> Members of Rent Assessment Panels for West Midlands Region and for the other 15 regions of the country (excluding Scotland) during latter period </h5> <h3>Methodology: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Time Dimensions: </i> Cross-sectional (one-time) study <br><i class='myclass'>Sampling Procedures: </i> No sampling (total universe) <br><i class='myclass'>Number of Units:</i> 591 (target) 462 (obtained) <br><i class='myclass'>Method of Data Collection: </i> Postal survey </h5><h3>Language(s) of Written Materials: </h3> <h5>Study Description: No information recorded<br>Study Documentation: No information recorded<br></h5> <h3>Access: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Access Conditions: </i> The depositor has specified that registration is required and standard conditions of use apply.
