Response Burden Barometer
The Federal Statistics Law 2000 stipulates that the institutions of official statistics have to organise their statistical system in a way that the response burden is as small as possible. Thus, it was seen necessary to investigate into the size of the actual response burden and to develop a system with which the monitoring of the response burden can be undertaken.
In the context of a co-operation contract between Statistics Austria and the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber signed in 2001, one of the aims was to develop a system to monitor the development of the response burden. Based on experience in other countries this monitoring system was named “response burden barometer”. The response burden barometer should provide a quantitative and objective indicator on the response burden and its development over time. It should consider the various surveys as well as the different situation over the branches and size bands. It should therefore be an instrument that could show the structure and distribution of the burden, the development of the burden over time and the causes of the changes of the burden.
