Calling ALL Mumsnet users to complete the Mumsnet census - vouchers to be won

[JustineBMumsnet]

Here at MNHQ it's census time again! This survey is open to everyone, and we'd love to hear from as many of you as possible, as it's really useful to us to find out a bit more about the people who use Mumsnet.

As a thank you for completing the census, all who complete the survey and leave their details at the end will be entered into our monthly prize draw where they could win one of three £150 vouchers.

Thanks and good luck!

got as far as what topics I like to see, and errored out. Sheesh. Will my answers still be submitted?

Made it to question 3, I'm still eye rolling now..

@Ylvamoon

Q12: why can't I be self employed & work part time???

I thought I saw that as an option, maybe they've added it?

Q3 seemed like an attempt to please everyone which probably pleases very few (who bother to read beyond the first two choices). It would have been more sensible for this 'census' to have followed what the U.K. census did.

MNHQ: you missed out the "feminism" option in q20 (the why do you use Mumsnet question)

In case you’re reading this thread for additional data, I am excluded from the survey after the sex/gender conflation, similar to how I’m excluded from single sex services that really are mixed sex because they also conflate sex & gender and as a female that demonstrates a lack of care for my safety and actual biological sex class.

done. It kicked me out but when I went back in it continued from where I left off, so all done now.

Another one who won't be filling in due to the conflation of sex and gender

Would have been good to ask some questions about usability of the mobile app, and also users views on important things happening (pandemic, Brexit, climate control etc), these are far more important questions than people's favourite influencers

You don't want ALL Mumsnet users to do the census, only the users in the UK, which is fine but you need to specify that at the outset. Not everyone will read the terms and conditions.

I worry the results will be skewed because the questions were very much concentrated on the fluffy; beauty tips, parenting tips, influencers, product tips. No room given to feminism, political debate, even covid etc. Plus yeah to what they said re q3

#NoThankYou to that nonsense.

Done.

Why isn't Carer an option for question 10?

Or are we supposed to be embarrased that the main income in the household is via Tax Credits, disability benefits and Carers Allowance?

Another one objecting to the conflation of sex and gender - on here, of all places.

I answered in the 'other' category

Me too on that

It could at least have mirrored the actual census (post judicial review, obvs).

Also not answering with the conflation of sex and gender.

I am a woman, but I don't 'identify' as anything. I'm just me.

Really short-sighted of MN.

Done xx

@Sacreblue said it better than I could.

This. On Mumsnet of all places 🙄

Are these standard categories? Placing of teachers and ‘junior’ doctors seems odd.

Oh my word. I didn't get that far. What a bizarre set of groupings.

The highly skilled registrar I saw today is technically a 'junior doctor'!

Ahhh one of my feedback things was that, at the moment on MN trans and gender issues are shoehorned into everything…. This comment thread proves me right. Just tick whichever box is closest to what you are / feel whatever - this isn’t legally binding, it’s just a bloody survey!!
