Erin’s Teenager & Fair Trade Survey Update!

Preliminary Results are in on my Teenagers and Fair Trade Survey!

So far I have about twenty responses on survey 1 and about fifteen on survey 2. Even though there

are not many responses, there is an apparent trend.

Survey 1:

The results of this survey made me extremely happy. For starters, all teenagers say they care about what

fair trade stands for and would mostly make a fair trade purchase over a non fair trade purchase if the

products are similar. The last question asked if you would now purchase a fair trade item, knowing what

a purchase represented, and all said yes.

The most interesting results we acquired from this survey is that most people do not know of a fair

trade store in their city and the number one factor that drives teens away from a fair trade purchase

is availability. Another interesting piece of information was found when asked if they can tell the

difference between a fair trade product and non fair trade product. About 35 percent said yes, 28

percent said no, and 35 percent said sometimes.

I hope to get more responses soon!
