Abstract:

This is a guide to the general Social Survey, cycle 11. Cycle 11 collected data from persons
15 years and older and concentrated on help given or received during temporary difficult times or out
of necessity due to long-term health or physical limitations in daily activities either inside or
outside the household. The target population of the General Social Survey consisted of all
individuals aged 15 and over living in a private household in one of the ten provinces.
