You'll get more responses if you explain who you are, what data you are collecting and why. I know it's on the information page once you click through, but a lot of people will be wary of clicking an unknown link, especially when they've been asked to divulge personal information.

This appears to be legitimate research with a proper university and funding behind it, telling people that will reassure them.

You've divided Asia into three subsections, but the entire western hemisphere, half the planet, is "other"?

if I tell you my Paypal details, will you compensate me for those 15 minutes?

One day, you might want to do research. Why not help other people?
Compared to some surveys, this was fairly short.

I can say that it was short. Perhaps a coincidence but about an hour after doing this I got an email offering me a job paying 15k a month in Hong Kong (which I promptly deleted).

Coincidence? Maybe....

I suspect that it was a coincidence. I received no such job offer (unless my answers revealed me to be useless).

ROFL...I did three years research with my Master's and spent four years in field linguistics, so pick me out of that box and put me in another mate. Believe me, I know how to prepare, compensate and provide feedback to sources.

And seeing as you asked why, there were some items that were badly designed on that survey. I started it but, after encountering a few of those, I decided not to complete it, because if a survey is badly designed it doesn't help anyone and in fact can be counterproductive. As someone who has been paid to do research and design many many surveys in the past, that is a good reason NOT to help in this particular instance.
