All about Establishment Surveys - Fourth in the India Peoplemeter Update series ( new )
As the name suggests, the Establishment Survey (ES) establishes a number of facts about the survey universe that are needed for the establishment and continuous running of the TAM panel. The ES sample is often designed in multiples of the proposed or existing TAM panel size. Typically for an already existing panel, the size of the ES is six to eight times the TAM panel size. For a fresh panel, this figure typically is ten to twelve times the design TAM panel size. This means for a panel of 5000 homes, the ES sample size should roughly be about 60,000 homes. This of course will increase should one expect more depth of analysis and projectability from the ES and the eventual TAM panel.

After extensive meetings with the RDSC and the TC, the total sample size for this coverage - ~ 100% urban India was calculated at 5800 homes.

While the ultimate aim is to get to the above coverage, feedback received by TAM indicated that this is best done in stages.

Accordingly the expansion has been broken into two stages, each stage emphasising a different aspect of the expansion plan.

Since then, the Joint Industry Body’s (JIB) Technical Committee (TC) was reconstituted under the chairmanship of Mr. B.V.Pradeep of Unilever. The Technical committee constituted two core groups to study two important aspects of the service – The Research Design and User Software.

While the Software sub-committee conducted a user survey and recommended the common user software to the TC, the Research design sub-committee (RDSC) held several meetings with the service on sampling, reporting and other research design aspects.

The document given is a summary of the decisions taken in consultations with the Research design sub-committee (RDSC) as well as the action steps taken by the service in agreement with the JIB TC.
