The Korean General Social Survey (KGSS) is the South Korean version of the General Social Survey (GSS), closely replicating the original GSS of the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago. Each round of the KGSS typically includes the topical module surveys of the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP), and/or the East Asian Social Survey (EASS), an international survey network of four GSS-type surveys from countries in East Asia (including China, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea). Respondents were asked about their trust of people and institutions, their opinions about Korean society, economic conditions, government performance, and labor unions. Additional questions were asked regarding the health care system, respondents' health behaviors, medical treatment, human rights, attitudes toward aging and the elderly, household composition and household income. Demographic information collected includes age, sex, education level, household income, employment status, religious preference, political party affiliation, and political philosophy.Cf: http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR35334.v1
