Reference
Data on consumer administration
- In this document, consumer affairs consultation information registered with PIO-NET is current as of Wednesday, March 31, 2021.
- With regard to consumer affairs consultation information registered with PIO-NET, it will take a certain amount of time from accepting consultations at local consumer affairs centers to registering the consolations, so the number of consultations in this document may increase slightly in the future.
- M.T. in the attitude survey means the ratio that is calculated by dividing the total number of responses with the number of respondents (N). In questions with multiple answers, this value typically exceeds 100%.
- In principle, unit figures are rounded. Due to the unit rounding, the total of values in the breakdown may not match the figure shown in the corresponding total field.
