Here are a few ideas for improvement that may be worth considering:
This Year’s Survey Results Document
1) Add page numbers for ease of reference
2) Revise the document so that the Key Findings on page 2⁄3, the table on page 11⁄12, the table on page 12⁄13, the table on page 18⁄19, the table on page 28⁄29, and the abbreviations on page 31⁄32 each display on a single page
3) Add percentages to the age histogram on page 14, the location table on page 15, the career table on page 18⁄19, and the graph on page 22
4) For the table on page 26, add a “Total” column and a “Total” row that show both the number and the percentage of respondents choosing each option for each of the two questions
Future Surveys
1) Ask people for the dollar amount they donated to each broad cause area to get an estimate of what percent of money donated by EAs goes to each cause area
2) Ask people who changed their career or career plan because of EA which career type (earning to give, direct work, research) they are now pursuing instead
3) It might be interesting to ask people whether they tell non-EAs about EA and if yes, the number of non-EAs they have convinced to become an EA
4) It might be interesting to have a marital status question as well as a question about whether those who are married are married to another EA
Overall it’s a great survey with very useful information. Thank you for all of your effort!
It may also be a good idea to a) change “meta” to “movement building” because the latter term is clearer and b) change “prioritization” to “prioritization (causes, careers, and charities)” to clarify that it is more than just cause prioritization.
