Employers' attitudes and actions towards the extension of working lives in Europe (2012, background): “However, there is no minimum for an “acceptable” response rate: research suggests that in many cases surveys with varying response rates yield results that are statistically indistinguishable (Keeter et al., 2006).”
Do low survey response rates bias results? Evidence from Japan (2015, background): “These findings are consistent with a line of research on attrition in labor economics (Lillard and Panis 1998; Ziliak and Kiesner 1998; van der Berg, Lindeboom, and Ridder 1994; MaCurdy, Mroz, and Gritz 1998; Fitzgerald, Gottschalk, and Moffitt 1998), in the survey research field (Curtin, Presser, a”
Violence, crime, and abuse exposure in a national sample of children and youth: an update. (2013, background): “These are good rates by current survey research standards(23-25) given the steady declines in response rates that have occurred during the past 3 decades(26) and the particular marked drop in recent years.(24,27,28) Although the potential for response bias remains an important consideration, several”

Do Child Development Accounts Promote Account Holding, Saving, and Asset Accumulation for Children's Future? Evidence from a Statewide Randomized Experiment.

Public climate-change skepticism, energy preferences and political participation (2013, background): “…achieved lower or similar response rates, e.g., a response rate in Canada was 10% (Ackerlof et al., 2010) and response rates of 27% and 28% were obtained in the US (Malka et al., 2009); for a broader discussion and more examples of similar response rates for phone surveys, see Keeter et al.
