Summary
The emergence of the presented project was prompted by some specific circumstances. The first is the gradual transformation of social survey data collection methods, where face-to-face or telephone interviewing have dominated, into online research. In this way can the results obtained be generalized to the as a whole, and compared between countries or over time. The risk in this context is the so-called offline population These are people who do not have access to the Internet or do not have adequate ICT competences and were left outside the reach of research agencies. The size of this group in individual countries depends on the internet penetration Overcoming these limitations are the probability based online panels that include the originally offline population, but there are only a few in Europe (Blom et al, 2016). These respondents are usually retrofitted with electronic equipment and an Internet connection, as well as trained to complete questionnaires
