About this data
Figures come from Global Vox Populi's proprietary panel coverage records and show panel membership as of October 2026. They describe the people available on the Global Vox Populi panel, not the total population of children reachable via parents in each country. Countries without current panel coverage are not listed. Totals across different Global Vox Populi panels should not be added together, because some people belong to more than one panel.
For live panel coverage and feasibility for a specific study, see the Children and parents panel explorer or use the survey feasibility calculator.
