TRANSCRIPT
• The survey was conducted on behalf of the International Republican Institute’s Center for Insights in Survey
Research (CISR) by SIAR Research and Consulting.
• Data was collected between September 11, 2021 and September 26, 2021 through computer-assisted
telephone interviews administered via mobile and landline numbers.
• The sample consists of n=1,209 residents of Kyrgyzstan, aged 18 and older.
• A multi-stage sampling method was used to design a nationally-representative sample according to the
National Statistical Committee of the Kyrgyz Republic’s 2019 Demographic Yearbook of the Kyrgyz Republic
(January 1, 2019). The sample was stratified by oblast/city and urbanicity.
• An initial database of mobile and landline numbers was assembled that comprised two separate sources. Two-
thirds of the database's numbers are sourced from SIAR's proprietary database of previous survey participant
phone numbers. SIAR's database is derived from phone numbers collected during nationally-representative surveys
conducted throughout the past twelve months. The remaining third of the database's phone numbers are randomly
generated from operators' area codes at the time of this study. Numbers were randomly selected from the
combined database.
• The respondent selection methodology depended on the type of line used to contact respondents. For mobile
numbers, the mobile phone user is selected. For landline numbers shared by multiple individuals, the last
birthday protocol is used for randomized respondent selection.
• The data was weighted by age and gender according to the 2019 Demographic Yearbook.
• The response rate for the survey was 40%. The margin of error at the mid-range of the full sample does not
exceed ±2.8 points at the 95% confidence level.
• Interviews were conducted in Kyrgyz (74%), Russian (25%), and Uzbek (1%)
• Cited bases are unweighted. Charts and graphs may not add up to 100% due to rounding.
• The survey was funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development.

Educational Attainment Household Financial Status* Occupational Status
*Household Financial Status brackets are generated from the question “How would you assess the financial position of your family?”
- Barely subsistence = “Money does not suffice even for food stuffs” and “Money suffices only for food, but nothing else, it does not
suffice to pay the utilities bills”
- Subsistence = “Money suffices for food, but purchase of clothes causes difficulties”
- Adequate = “Income suffices for food and clothes, but purchase of expensive durable things, such as TV set, refrigerator is a
problem”
- More than adequate = “We can easily get durable things, but purchase of really expensive things, such as car, is a big problem for
us” and “At the present time we can afford much - a car, a summer residence, travel abroad”
