This chapter presents the detailed discussion on the effect of non-response on the estimator of population mean in a frequently used design, namely, stratified random sampling. In this chapter, our aim is to discuss the existing allocation schemes in presence of non-response and to suggest some new allocation schemes utilizing the knowledge of response and non-response rates of different strata. The effects of proposed schemes on the sampling variance of the estimator have been discussed and compared with the usual allocation schemes, namely, proportional allocation and Neyman allocation in presence of non-response. The empirical study has also been carried out in support of the results.
