Can we break out of our bubble?
As always, the Gender Census is getting a great response from Tumblr - 34% of respondents so far! Thank you so much, I am really grateful for all the signal-boosting. đ Now that the response rate is slowing down after the initial peak, my main goal is reaching new people and under-represented groups.
The most common country entered is the USA (53%). In the USA over 60% of the population are aged 30 and over. [Source.] In the Gender Census at the moment it's 25%, and the average age is only 26. Since the main way we reach new people is by word-of-mouth, the survey needs your help.
The following are really effective for getting the word out:
Flyers! On noticeboards, on tables, in eBay parcels, etc. Printable PDF here, or Google Doc here for easy copying and editing. This is a top method for reaching people who aren't super-online.
Sharing this Facebook post in local LGBTQ+ groups. Facebook is particularly good for reaching under-represented age groups.
WhatsApp forwarding. We have a WhatsApp channel here with regular shareable posts that you can drop into LGBTQ+ groups or share one-on-one.
Any creative idea you have for sharing the survey URL: survey.gendercensus.com
Thank you everyone!
