Gender balance in surveys

Source

Class Emerald included the boys from the Salesians school in their survey.

Why did we try to have gender balance in our survey?
So that one group is not under-represented or that the survey is not largely dominated by one gender or the other.
Women make up over half the world's population.
Millennium Development Goal No 3 is all about gender balance.

Gender equality is about enabling male and female respondents to contribute to and benefit from participation - when we shared our results this meant that the boys from the Salesians would also learn why young people find it difficult to pray.
