• In Event: 2301 - Research Funding Opportunities and Data Resources Presentations: Session I

Abstract

The East Asian Social Survey (EASS) is a collaboration of four East Asian societies: China, Japna, Korea, and Taiwan. Modeled after the US General Social Survey, each EASS participating team has conducted its own version of the General Social Survey (Chinese General Social Survey, National Survey Research Center at the Renmin
University of China, Japanese General Social Survey, JGSS Research Center at Osaka Univeristy of Commerce; Korean General Social Survey, Sungkyunkwan University; and Taiwan Social Change Survey, Institute of Sociology, Academy Sinica). Every two years, each society's General Social Survey includes an EASS module: Family in 2006 and 2016, Culture and Globalization in 2008 and 2018, Health and Society in 2010, Network Social Capital in 2012, and Work Life in 2014. The EASS has become an important social science data source to understand social life in East Asia. For more information about the EASS, please see http://www.eassda.org
