5 Instructions 1. The report was analyzed through the use of weighted value based on sampling in order to provide statistics related to North Korean refugees. 2. If respondents age is not specified, they are considered as 13 years old or older, and if it pertains to those aged 19 to 60, the subjects are specified in pertinent questions. 3. As for items compared with South Korea, comparisons were made with statistics indicated in NSO Social Survey and footnotes of each item. As statistics subject to comparison vary depending on subjects to survey, methods of survey and the time of survey, make sure to use precautions when interpreting. 4. Since statistics and figures (including names) within diagrams are rounded off to the nearest integer, the total of the detailed items might not correspond with the total. 5. As for individual questions aimed to figure out details, the number of respondents might be small, therefore make sure to use precautions when interpreting a statistical chart based on a small number of samples. 6. Unknown/No response was included in analyses aimed to figure out specific gravity, but it was excluded in analyses aimed to obtain average. 7. Statistical value might change in data used in analyses in the process of classifying additional data. 8. Names in each statistical chart indicate the number of surveyed samples and weighted value-applied rate was indicated based on the assumption of population. 9. The 2013 social survey was conducted of respondents aged 20 or older and the 2015 social survey was conducted of respondents aged 13 or older, so precautions need to be used in interpreting results at a time of direct comparison of survey results.
