How the Summer Barometer™ 2017 was conducted?
- The survey was conducted by Ferratum Group who surveyed its active customers in 16 countries across Europe and Commonwealth countries via a standardised web survey. Income is stated in local currency, and relative summer consuming is calculated by the ratio of a family’s monthly disposable income in each country. Disposable income was adjusted by each country, and individual purchasing power parity based on 2014 figures by The World Bank.
- Over 10,000 households participated in the survey. Respondents were aged between 18 and 65 and 55% of participants were women. The average available net income of participating households was between €643 – €4,287. The average household size among respondents was 2.6 people.
- In addition to demographic factors, respondents were asked about their disposable monthly net income, how much they spend on their summer holidays, what activities they spend their money on, if they will be using Airbnb for their accommodation, and if they will use online banking while traveling abroad.
- The survey utilised each country’s respective currency. Responses were evened out to reflect the respective purchasing power of each country. All survey respondents were anonymous.
