There are a number of benefits and drawbacks to stratified sampling. Two benefits are:
- You have a cross-section of the population, so this is more likely to be representative and thus easier to generalise.
- You are less likely to get a "freak" sample.
Two drawbacks are:
- This is a very long and difficult form of sampling. It could be inconvenient or costly.
- You may not stratify the population by the relevant factors - what if their gender isn't important, but their economic bracket is?

What are the Advantage and disadvantage of purposive sampling?
Purposive sampling involves selecting participants for a study based on some characteristic that you know they have. There is nothing random about their selection - it was done with intent. An advantage of this type of sampling is that it allows the researcher to quickly hone in on the target population. A disadvantage to this form of sampling is that researcher bias can creep in to influence results, if subjects are not chosen very carefully.
