Summing Up
I think that 3 questions on min wage are too many... our focus is Poverty, not the minimum wage. I tried to finalize the first 4 questions in terms of wording. Feel free to edit this (PLEASE :), these are just my little ideas!
1)How does poverty DIRECTLY affect you and your family? A) Greatly B)Slightly C)Not at all 2)Do you believe poverty reduction is the responsibility of private charities, government action or private individuals? 3)Do you believe increasing the minimum wage in BC will help to reduce the poverty level? Yes or No 4)Would you be in favor of a provincial wage increase? Yes or No
5)How about something about satisfaction with the current level of poverty in BC?? Something like "how important to you is the issue of poverty in BC?" Very important, moderately important, neutral, moderately unimportant, very unimportant. OR "Do you think that the current number of people living in poverty in BC is acceptable?" yes or no
anyone have thoughts they can add??
1)How does poverty DIRECTLY affect you and your family? A) Greatly B)Slightly C)Not at all

3)Do you believe increasing the minimum wage in BC will help to reduce the poverty level? Yes or No
4)Would you be in favor of a provincial wage increase? Yes or No
as for 5 i think : 5) Something like "how important to you is the issue of poverty in BC?" Very important, moderately important, neutral, moderately unimportant, very unimportant. rather than : "Do you think that the current number of people living in poverty in BC is acceptable?" yes or no
What does everyone else think
ya thats good Nadine!
as for question 5 i prefer "how important to you is the issue of poverty in BC?" because we will get a more accurate respond from the individuals we are surveying since i doubt that people actually know the current number of people living in poverty in BC
I also like the first question for number 5 because the second question assumes everyone already knows the number people living in poverty.
I think question 4 by itself is not really relevant to poverty in BC. "Would you be in favor of a provincial wage increase? Yes or No" Whether they answer YES or NO, it won't help us concerning the topic of poverty.
