Panel Composition

Vietnam is one of the most populous countries in the Asia Pacific region with an estimated population of nearly 95 million. Compared to the population composition, the ratio of panelists in the 40+ age range is small which may prove to be a challenge in collecting the data. Data collection and response rate for older panelists depend on the location and schedule. For this reason, we recommend checking the feasibility of the survey in advance by using our FREE IR Check tool.

Income

When targeting or allocating by income, it is common to design the survey according to the SEC.

 

*SEC is the socioeconomic category that a consumer falls into as defined by variables such as income, educational background, occupation and so on. It stands for Social Economic Classification.

Local Pro Tip:

In Vietnam, there are many ways to address others and yourself. For example, Vietnamese words such as minh, toi, to, and tui all mean 'I' or 'me', but with different contexts. You will need to pay attention to age and gender to use the right word to address yourself and others.

 

Ethnic Composition of Our Panels

According to the 2009 census by the official statistics bureau, the largest ethnic groups are the following:


Ethnic group Percentage
Kinh (Viet) 85.3%
