“This survey was commissioned by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. They initiated it. Overall, the Ministry of Science sent out a request for this survey as part of a comprehensive study. They aimed to explore, among other things, perceptions regarding the change of time zones and how it affects daily routines,” said Zhaslan Madiyev.
According to him, it was initially planned to close the survey after reaching 200,000 participants.
“Once 200,000 participants were reached, they were ready to further analyze the survey results. Therefore, the survey was concluded upon reaching this number of respondents. For more details, one can contact the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. 200,000 is a sufficiently good representative sample. This is research, not a voting process. This survey was launched for research purposes over a specific period to gather insights,” the minister concluded.
