Nahtstellenbarometer 2023 Umfrage Jugendliche und Unternehmen
No full textAnhand des Lehrstellenbarometers ermittelte das SBFI von 1997 bis 2017 via Umfragen bei Unternehmen und Jugendlichen vor der Ausbildungswahl zweimal jährlich die Situation auf dem Lehrstellenmarkt. Für die Periode 2018 bis 2026 wurde das Forschungsinstitut gfs.bern mit dem Auftrag betraut. Ziel des Nahtstellenbarometers ist die Erfassung von Bildungsentscheiden von Jugendlichen am Ende ihrer obligatorischen Schulzeit und das Einschätzen der Situation auf dem Schweizer Lehrstellenmarkt. Zu diesem Zweck wird jährlich eine Online-Umfrage in zwei Erhebungswellen bei Jugendlichen im Alter von 14-16 Jahren (ab 2023: 15-17 Jahren) und Unternehmen mit mindestens 2 Angestellten dreisprachig durchgeführt. Die erste Befragung im April (Stichtag 15. April) liefert erste Hinweise auf die Bildungsentscheide der Jugendlichen nach der obligatorischen Schulzeit sowie auf die Situation auf dem Lehrstellenmarkt und zeigt auch Tendenzen für die Entwicklung bis zum Sommer auf. Die zweite Befragung im August (Stichtag 31. August) liefert abschliessende Resultate sowie einen Ausblick auf das kommende Jahr. Die Aufgaben des Forschungsinstituts gfs.bern liegen in der Konzeption und Vorbereitung der Erhebungen in Koordination mit dem SBFI, in der Durchführung der Feldarbeiten sowie in der Datenauswertung und der Ergebnisanalyse.Dal 1997 al 2017, la SEFRI ha utilizzato il Barometro dell'apprendistato per determinare la situazione del mercato dell'apprendistato due volte l'anno attraverso sondaggi tra le aziende e i giovani prima che scelgano un apprendistato. Per il periodo 2018-2026, il compito è stato affidato all'istituto di ricerca gfs.bern. L'obiettivo del Barometro Seam è quello di registrare le scelte formative dei giovani al termine della scuola dell'obbligo e di valutare la situazione del mercato svizzero dell'apprendistato. A tal fine, ogni anno viene condotto un sondaggio online in due ondate tra i giovani di età compresa tra i 14 e i 16 anni e le aziende con almeno 2 dipendenti in tre lingue. Il primo sondaggio di aprile (data limite 15 aprile) fornisce le prime indicazioni sulle scelte formative dei giovani dopo la scuola dell'obbligo e sulla situazione del mercato dell'apprendistato, oltre a mostrare le tendenze per gli sviluppi fino all'estate. Il secondo sondaggio di agosto (data di chiusura 31 agosto) fornisce i risultati finali e le prospettive per l'anno successivo. I compiti dell'istituto di ricerca gfs.berne consistono nell'ideazione e nella preparazione delle indagini in coordinamento con la SEFRI, nell'attuazione del lavoro sul campo e nella valutazione dei dati e nell'analisi dei risultati.De 1997 à 2017, le baromètre des places d'apprentissage a permis au SEFRI d'évaluer deux fois par an la situation sur le marché des places d'apprentissage par le biais d'enquêtes menées auprès des entreprises et des jeunes avant le choix de leur formation. Pour la période 2018 à 2026, le mandat a été confié à l'institut de recherche gfs.bern. L'objectif du baromètre de la transition est de recenser les décisions de formation des jeunes à la fin de leur scolarité obligatoire et d'évaluer la situation sur le marché suisse des places d'apprentissage. A cette fin, une enquête en ligne est menée chaque année en deux vagues auprès des jeunes de 14 à 16 ans et des entreprises comptant au moins deux employés. La première enquête, réalisée en avril (date de référence : 15 avril), fournit de premières indications sur les décisions de formation des jeunes après la scolarité obligatoire ainsi que sur la situation sur le marché des places d'apprentissage et indique également des tendances pour l'évolution jusqu'à l'été. La deuxième enquête, réalisée en août (date de référence : 31 août), fournit des résultats définitifs ainsi que des perspectives pour l'année à venir. Les tâches de l'institut de recherche gfs.bern consistent à concevoir et à préparer les enquêtes en coordination avec le SEFRI, à réaliser les travaux sur le terrain ainsi qu'à évaluer les données et à analyser les résultats.Using the training place barometer, the SBFI determined the situation on the training place market twice a year from 1997 to 2017 via surveys of companies and young people prior to the choice of training. For the period 2018 to 2026, the research institute gfs.bern was entrusted with the task. The aim of the seam barometer is to record educational decisions made by young people at the end of their compulsory schooling and to assess the situation on the Swiss apprenticeship market. To this end, an annual online survey is conducted in two survey waves among young people aged 14-16 and companies with at least 2 employees in three languages. The first survey in April (deadline 15 April) provides first indications of the educational choices of young people after compulsory schooling and of the situation on the apprenticeship market, and also shows trends for the development up to the summer. The second survey in August (deadline 31 August) provides final results and an outlook for the coming year. The tasks of the research institute gfs.bern are to design and prepare the surveys in coordination with the SBFI, to carry out the fieldwork, to evaluate the data and to analyse the results

Systematische Schreibförderung in der Grundschule (Schreib-BiSS)
No full textDas übergeordnete Ziel der Studie war es, die Implementation eines Programms zur systematischen Schreibförderung im Unterricht der dritten Klassen zu untersuchen und Bedingungen zu identifizieren, die einen erfolgreichen Einsatz und die Verstetigung der Schreibförderung besonders begünstigen. In einem Studiendesign mit Wartekontrollgruppe nahmen Lehrkräfte an einer Blended-Learning-Fortbildung teil und führten anschließend ein Training zur Schreibflüssigkeit sowie ein Schreibstrategietraining in ihren dritten Klassen durch. Dabei wurden sie von Multiplikatorinnen und Multiplikatoren begleitet, die den Blended-Learning-Kurs zuvor selbst absolviert hatten. Die Erhebung der Lehrkräftedaten erfolgte mittels Fragebögen, welche neben den schulischen Rahmenbedingungen das Unterrichtshandeln im Schreibunterricht, das selbst eingeschätzte Wissen zur Schreibförderung, Einstellungen zu verschiedenen schreibdidaktischen Maßnahmen, die Implementationstreue sowie die Einschätzungen der Lehrkräfte zu den durchgeführten Trainings und ihrer Zufriedenheit mit der Blended-Learning-Fortbildung erfassten. Ein weiteres Ziel war es, zu untersuchen, in welchem Maße sich die Schreibkompetenzen der Schülerinnen und Schüler durch die Teilnahme an der Schreibförderung verbesserten. Hierfür wurden in einem Prä-Post-Follow-Up-Design Kompetenztests mit den Schülerinnen und Schülern durchgeführt. Daten der Schülerinnen und Schüler können aus datenschutzrechtlichen Gründen nicht zur Verfügung gestellt werden.Das übergeordnete Ziel der Studie war es, die Implementation eines Programms zur systematischen Schreibförderung im Unterricht der dritten Klassen zu untersuchen und Bedingungen zu identifizieren, die einen erfolgreichen Einsatz und die Verstetigung der Schreibförderung besonders begünstigen.

LEO Environment Study - Study on The Co-knowing Environment of Functionally Illiterate People
No full textDas Projekt hatte eine Projektlaufzeit von 2013 bis 2016. Sie schloss inhaltlich an die leo. – Level-One Studie an. Mit der leo.-Studie konnte 2011 erstmals eine Aussage darüber getroffen werden, wie viel Menschen in Deutschland Schwierigkeiten beim Lesen und Schreiben haben. Die Umfeldstudie vollzog einen bedeutenden Perspektivwechsel: Im Fokus der Umfeldstudie standen nicht die betroffenen Personen selbst, sondern deren Umfeld. Die Studie ging u.a. den Fragen nach, wer die unterstützenden Personen sind und in welcher Form Unterstützung geleistet wird. Die Umfeldstudie - Studie zum mitwissenden Umfeld funktionaler Analphabetinnen und Analphabeten knüpft an die Erkenntnis an, dass Erwachsene mit Schwierigkeiten beim Lesen und Schreiben häufig auf Unterstützungspersonen in ihrem beruflichen oder privaten Umfeld zurückgreifen. Das ´mitwissende Umfeld´ hilft dabei, mit Lese- und Schreibanforderungen im Alltag zurechtzukommen. Dementsprechend stehen die Struktur der von den Mitwissenden geleisteten Unterstützung, die Motive der Mitwissenden, der Erfolg oder Misserfolg der Unterstützung und Lernprozesse im und durch das Umfeld im Fokus der Studie. Die Umfeldstudie wurde als Triangulationsstudie hamburgweit durchgeführt, welche sich in einen quantitativen und einen qualitativen Hauptbestandteil aufgliedert. Im Rahmen der quantitativen Teilstudie wurden per Zufallsauswahl 1.510 Erwachsene in Hamburg telefonisch befragt, um Erkenntnisse über das mitwissende Umfeld von funktionalen Analphabetinnen und Analphabeten zu gewinnen. Der Fragebogen erfasste neben soziodemografischen Informationen insbesondere, ob die Befragten Personen mit erheblichen Schwierigkeiten beim Lesen und Schreiben kennen. Für diesen Personenkreis wurde vertiefend erfragt, aus welchem Kontext die Bekanntschaft stammt, wie eng das Verhältnis zueinander ist (enger versus loser Kontakt), ob über die Problematik gesprochen wird und ob spezifische Unterstützungsleistungen erfolgen. Die ergänzende qualitative Teilstudie, im Rahmen derer 30 Interviews mit Personen durchgeführt wurden, die in unterschiedlichen Kontexten Menschen mit erheblichen Schwierigkeiten beim Lesen und Schreiben kennen, wird über das FDZ Bildung am DIPF in Form anonymisierter Transkripte für die wissenschaftliche Nachnutzung zur Verfügung gestellt
Scotland's Census 2022: Safeguarded Individual Microdata Sample at Region Level
No full textAbstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The 2021 UK Census was the 23rd official census of the United Kingdom. The UK Census is generally conducted once every 10 years, and the 2021 censuses of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland took place on 21 March 2021. In Scotland, the decision was made to move the census to March 2022 because of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic (see SNs 9461 and 9462). The censuses were administered by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) and National Records of Scotland (NRS), respectively. Census 2021 was the first census with a digital-first design, encouraging participants to respond online rather than on a paper questionnaire. Support was given to people who could not respond online, including paper questionnaires, telephone contact centres, field force support, and an extended collection period.Topics covered in the 2021 UK Census included:demography and migrationethnic group, national identity, language and religionlabour market and travel to workhousingeducationhealth, disability, and unpaid careWelsh and other languagesUK armed forces veteranssexual orientation and gender identity.The Scotland's Census 2022: Safeguarded Individual Microdata Sample at Regional Level dataset consists of a random sample of 5% of person records from the 2022 Census. It includes records for 274,067 persons. These data cover Scotland only. The lowest level of geography is country (Scotland). The dataset contains 80 variables and a low level of detail. Further information can be found on the Scotland's Census website. Census Microdata Microdata are small samples of individual records from a single census from which identifying information have been removed. They contain a range of individual and household characteristics and can be used to carry out analysis not possible from standard census outputs, such as: creating tables using bespoke variable combinationsinvestigating specific combinations of variables or categories in a high level of detailconducting non-tabular statistical analyses on record-level data. The microdata samples are designed to protect the confidentiality of individuals and households. This is done by applying access controls and removing information that might directly identify a person, such as names, addresses and date of birth. Record swapping is applied to the census data used to create the microdata samples. This is a statistical disclosure control (SDC) method, which makes very small changes to the data to prevent the identification of individuals. The microdata samples use further SDC methods, such as collapsing variables and restricting detail. The samples also include records that have been edited to prevent inconsistent data and contain imputed persons, households, and data values. To protect confidentiality, imputation flags are not included in any 2022 Census microdata sample.Main Topics:The Scotland's Census 2022: Safeguarded Individual Microdata Sample at Regional Level dataset covers: communal establishments, demography, education, ethnicity, identity, language, religion, health, disability, unpaid care, housing, internal migration, international migration, labour market, students, travel to work, and UK armed forces veterans.</p
Next Steps: Polygenic Indices, 2022-2023: Special Licence Access
No full textAbstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.Next Steps (also known as the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England (LSYPE1)) is a major longitudinal cohort study following a nationally representative group of around 16,000 who were in Year 9 attending state and independent schools in England in 2004, a cohort born in 1989-90.The first seven sweeps of the study were conducted annually (2004-2010) when the study was funded and managed by the Department for Education (DfE). The study mainly focused on the educational and early labour market experiences of young people.In 2015 Next Steps was restarted, under the management of the Centre for Longitudinal Studies (CLS) at the UCL Faculty of Education and Society (IOE) and funded by the Economic and Social Research Council. The Next Steps Age 25 survey was aimed at increasing the understanding of the lives of young adults growing up today and the transitions out of education and into early adult life.The Next Steps Age 32 Survey took place between April 2022 and September 2023 and is the ninth sweep of the study. The Age 32 Survey aimed to provide data for research and policy on the lives of this generation of adults in their early 30s. This sweep also collected information on many wider aspects of cohort members' lives including health and wellbeing, politics and social participation, identity and attitudes as well as capturing personality, resilience, working memory and financial literacy.2019 Web SurveyThe Next Steps 2019 Web Survey took place between August and September 2019, in between the Age 25 and Age 32 Surveys. It was conducted by CLS. CLS conducts annual 'keeping-in-touch' exercises in which Next Steps participants are asked to confirm or update their contact details. The 2019 Web Survey was conducted as part of the 2019 keeping-in-touch exercise. The data and documentation are available under SN 5545, and were added as part of the nineteenth edition .Next Steps survey data is also linked to the National Pupil Database (NPD), the Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), the Individualised Learner Records (ILR) and the Student Loans Company (SLC).Polygenic IndicesPolygenic indices are available under Special Licence SN 9438. Derived summary scores have been created that combine the estimated effects of many different genes on a specific trait or characteristic, such as a person's risk of Alzheimer's disease, asthma, substance abuse, or mental health disorders, for example. These polygenic scores can be combined with existing survey data to offer a more nuanced understanding of how cohort members' outcomes may be shaped.There are now two separate studies that began under the LSYPE programme. The second study, Our Future (LSYPE2) (available at the UK Data Service under GN 2000110), began in 2013 and will track a sample of over 13,000 young people annually from ages 13/14 through to age 20.Further information about Next Steps may be found on the CLS website.Secure Access datasets:Secure Access versions of Next Steps have more restrictive access conditions than Safeguarded versions available under the standard Safeguarded Licence (see 'Access' section).Secure Access versions of the Next Steps include:sensitive variables from the questionnaire data for Sweeps 1-9. These are available under Secure Access SN 8656. National Pupil Database (NPD) linked data at Key Stages 2, 3, 4 and 5, England. These are available under SN 7104.Linked Individualised Learner Records learner and learning aims datasets for academic years 2005 to 2014, England. These are available under SN 8577.detailed geographic indicators for Sweep 1 and Sweep 8 (2001 Census Boundaries) are available under SN 8189, geographic indicators for Sweep 8 and 9 (2011 Census Boundaries) are available under SN 8190, and geographic indicators for Sweep 9 (2021 Census Boundaries) are available under SN 9337. The Sweep 1 geography file was previously held under SN 7104.Linked Health Administrative Datasets (Hospital Episode Statistics) for financial years 1997-2022 held under SN 8681.Linked Student Loans Company Records for years 2007-2021 held under SN 8848.When researchers are approved/accredited to access a Secure Access version of Next Steps, the Safeguarded (EUL) version of the study - Next Steps: Sweeps 1-9, 2004-2023 (SN 5545) - will be automatically provided alongside.SN 9438 - Next Steps: Polygenic Indices, 2022-2023: Special Licence AccessPolygenic indices (PGIs) aggregate Genome-wide Association Studies (GWAS) estimates across all measured single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to provide a single estimate of an individual’s genetic predisposition towards the trait under study. As such, SNPs can be considered as the building blocks of PGIs. It is important to note that the genetic predisposition represented by PGI is known inasmuch as it has been estimated accurately and reliably from a GWAS; not all SNPs are included in the GWAS or the GWAS estimates for a given SNP are inaccurate, then the genetic predisposition represented by the PGI will be lower than the true genetic predisposition.The PGIs have been developed using a consistent methodology that has been applied to harmonised genetic data across each cohort, enabling researchers to engage in consistent cross-cohort analysis for using derived genetic measures for the first time. All PGIs have been derived from large scale Genome-wide Association Studies (GWAS) with publicly available summary statistics. This approach is hoped to enable and encourage wider use of the genetic data collected in these studies. High level guidance on the use and interpretation of PGIs is provided.The PGIs were also developed in a consistent manner in a birth cohort born in 1946 (MRC National Survey of Health and Development, 1946c), which can be obtained by separate application to the Unit for Lifelong Health and Ageing at UCL.Main Topics:Polygenic indices; polygenic scores; polygenic risk scores; genome-wide association studies; human genetics; anthropometrics; brain structure and cognition; health behaviours; mental health; personality; physical health; social outcomes.</p
National Child Development Study: Age 62, Sweep 10 Geographical Identifiers, 2021 Census Boundaries, 2019-2024: Secure Access
No full textAbstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The National Child Development Study (NCDS) is a continuing longitudinal study that seeks to follow the lives of all those living in Great Britain who were born in one particular week in 1958. The aim of the study is to improve understanding of the factors affecting human development over the whole lifespan. The NCDS has its origins in the Perinatal Mortality Survey (PMS) (the original PMS study is held at the UK Data Archive under SN 2137). This study was sponsored by the National Birthday Trust Fund and designed to examine the social and obstetric factors associated with stillbirth and death in early infancy among the 17,000 children born in England, Scotland and Wales in that one week. Selected data from the PMS form NCDS sweep 0, held alongside NCDS sweeps 1-3, under SN 5565. Survey and Biomeasures Data (GN 33004):To date there have been ten attempts to trace all members of the birth cohort in order to monitor their physical, educational and social development. The first three sweeps were carried out by the National Children's Bureau, in 1965, when respondents were aged 7, in 1969, aged 11, and in 1974, aged 16 (these sweeps form NCDS1-3, held together with NCDS0 under SN 5565). The fourth sweep, also carried out by the National Children's Bureau, was conducted in 1981, when respondents were aged 23 (held under SN 5566). In 1985 the NCDS moved to the Social Statistics Research Unit (SSRU) - now known as the Centre for Longitudinal Studies (CLS). The fifth sweep was carried out in 1991, when respondents were aged 33 (held under SN 5567). For the sixth sweep, conducted in 1999-2000, when respondents were aged 42 (NCDS6, held under SN 5578), fieldwork was combined with the 1999-2000 wave of the 1970 Birth Cohort Study (BCS70), which was also conducted by CLS (and held under GN 33229). The seventh sweep was conducted in 2004-2005 when the respondents were aged 46 (held under SN 5579), the eighth sweep was conducted in 2008-2009 when respondents were aged 50 (held under SN 6137), the ninth sweep was conducted in 2013 when respondents were aged 55 (held under SN 7669), and the tenth sweep was conducted in 2020-24 when the respondents were aged 60-64 (held under SN 9412). A Secure Access version of the NCDS is available under SN 9413, containing detailed sensitive variables not available under Safeguarded access (currently only sweep 10 data). Variables include uncommon health conditions (including age at diagnosis), full employment codes and income/finance details, and specific life circumstances (e.g. pregnancy details, year/age of emigration from GB).Four separate datasets covering responses to NCDS over all sweeps are available. National Child Development Deaths Dataset: Special Licence Access (SN 7717) covers deaths; National Child Development Study Response and Outcomes Dataset (SN 5560) covers all other responses and outcomes; National Child Development Study: Partnership Histories (SN 6940) includes data on live-in relationships; and National Child Development Study: Activity Histories (SN 6942) covers work and non-work activities. Users are advised to order these studies alongside the other waves of NCDS.From 2002-2004, a Biomedical Survey was completed and is available under Safeguarded Licence (SN 8731) and Special Licence (SL) (SN 5594). Proteomics analyses of blood samples are available under SL SN 9254.Linked Geographical Data (GN 33497): A number of geographical variables are available, under more restrictive access conditions, which can be linked to the NCDS EUL and SL access studies. Linked Administrative Data (GN 33396):A number of linked administrative datasets are available, under more restrictive access conditions, which can be linked to the NCDS EUL and SL access studies. These include a Deaths dataset (SN 7717) available under SL and the Linked Health Administrative Datasets (SN 8697) available under Secure Access.Multi-omics Data and Risk Scores Data (GN 33592)Proteomics analyses were run on the blood samples collected from NCDS participants in 2002-2004 and are available under SL SN 9254. Metabolomics analyses were conducted on respondents of sweep 10 and are available under SL SN 9411. Polygenic indices are available under SL SN 9439. Derived summary scores have been created that combine the estimated effects of many different genes on a specific trait or characteristic, such as a person's risk of Alzheimer's disease, asthma, substance abuse, or mental health disorders, for example. These scores can be combined with existing survey data to offer a more nuanced understanding of how cohort members' outcomes may be shaped.Additional Sub-Studies (GN 33562):In addition to the main NCDS sweeps, further studies have also been conducted on a range of subjects such as parent migration, unemployment, behavioural studies and respondent essays. The full list of NCDS studies available from the UK Data Service can be found on the NCDS series access data webpage.How to access genetic and/or bio-medical sample data from a range of longitudinal surveys:For information on how to access biomedical data from NCDS that are not held at the UKDS, see the CLS Genetic data and biological samples webpage.Further information about the full NCDS series can be found on the Centre for Longitudinal Studies website.The National Child Development Study: Age 62, Sweep 10 Geographical Identifiers, 2021 Census Boundaries, 2019-2024: Secure Access data include Age 62, Sweep 10 detailed geographical variables that can be linked to the NCDS Safeguarded and Secure Access studies listed on the NCDS series page.

Citizen's Pulse 2/2025
No full textKansalaispulssi selvittää suomalaisten mielipiteitä ajankohtaisista aiheista, viranomaisten toiminnasta sekä vastaajan mielialasta ja huolenaiheista. Aineisto sisältää kysymyksiä Venäjän hyökkäyksestä Ukrainaan, demokratiasta, liikkumisesta ja liikunnasta sekä teemoista, joihin maan hallituksen pitäisi kiinnittää huomiota. Tämän kierroksen kyselyssä kartoitettiin, kuinka tyytyväisiä vastaajat ovat demokratian toimivuuteen Suomessa sekä kuinka paljon vastaajat luottavat toisiin ihmisiin ja eri instituutioihin. Kysyttiin myös kuinka oikeudenmukaisena he pitävät suomalaista yhteiskuntaa. Edelleen kysyttiin vastaajan mielialasta, luottamuksesta tulevaisuuteen sekä koetusta stressistä ja turvallisuudesta. Lisäksi vastaajat arvioivat, mihin yhteiskunnallisiin teemoihin, kuten kestävään julkiseen talouteen, yritysten toimintaedellytyksiin, ilmastotoiminen edistämiseen ja toimivaan terveydenhuoltoon, hallituksen pitäisi lähitulevaisuudessa erityisesti kiinnittää huomiota. Kysyttiin myös kuinka huolestuneita vastaajat ovat kotitaloutensa toimeentulosta. Turvallisuustilanteeseen ja Venäjän hyökkäykseen Ukrainaan liittyen kysyttiin, huolestuttavatko sodan mahdollinen laajeneminen tai Venäjän vaikuttamispyrkimykset. Lisäksi tiedusteltiin näkemyksiä EU:n Venäjälle asettamien talouspakotteiden hyväksyttävyydestä sekä vastaajien omakohtaisia havaintoja harhaanjohtavaan tietoon perustuvista vaikuttamisyrityksistä tai tietoturvaongelmista internetissä. Demokratiaan liittyen tiedusteltiin lisäksi luottamusta vastaajien omiin kykyihin osallistua politiikkaan sekä arvioita omista vaikutusmahdollisuuksista ja korruption yleisyydestä Suomessa. Lopuksi kysyttiin, ovatko vastaajat liikkuneet kuuden viime kuukauden aikana liikuntasuositusten mukaisesti ja ovatko he muuttaneet liikuntakäyttäytymistään. Kysyttiin myös, onko vastaaja kuullut Suomi liikkeelle -ohjelmasta. Taustamuuttujina olivat vastauskieli, vastaajan sukupuoli, ikäryhmä, maakunta, koulutus sekä tietoja kotitalouden rakenteesta ja taloudellisesta tilanteesta.The Citizens' Pulse surveys examine Finnish attitudes and opinions on current issues. Main themes in the surveys include the activity of authorities, future expectations, trust, and the respondents' own state of mind. This collection round also included questions on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, democracy, physical activities, and issues that the Finnish government should address. The second collection round of 2025 surveyed the respondents' satisfaction with the state of democracy in Finland, as well as their trust in other people and various institutions (e.g. the Finnish Government, the health care system, the media, and the Finnish Defence Forces). The respondents were asked to evaluate how fair or unfair they thought Finnish society was at present, and their state of mind was examined with questions on various matters relating to well-being. The questions covered, for example, the respondents' own mental well-being, whether they were worried about the adequacy of their income, their confidence in their future, and experiences of stress. The respondents' views were investigated on which societal issues (e.g. promotion of climate action, national defence, poverty reduction, effective healthcare, operating conditions of businesses and investment opportunities) the Finnish government should focus on in the near future. Additionally, the respondents were asked whether Finland's NATO membership had impacted their sense of safety. The next set of questions focused on the Russian invasion of Ukraine and national security in Finland. The respondents were asked how concerned they were about the crisis in Ukraine and its effects, and whether they were concerned that the war might expand beyond Ukraine. The respondents were also asked whether they were concerned that Russia might take military action against Finland or try to interfere with the functioning of Finnish society. Opinions on the economic sanctions imposed on Russia by the EU and whether Finland should be ready to receive significant numbers of refugees from Ukraine if necessary were charted. The respondents were asked whether Finland's response to Russian interference has been adequate and timely, and whether the respondents were concerned about Russia's recent actions. The respondents were also asked whether they had noticed any cyber security issues or instances where purposefully misleading claims based on misinformation were spread on social media or online over the previous month. Regarding democracy, the survey explored the respondents' confidence in their ability to participate in politics, their perceived influence, and views on corruption in Finland. Finally, the respondents were asked whether they had been exercising according to the physical activity recommendations in Finland for the past six months and whether they had changed their physical activity behaviour. It was also asked whether the respondents have heard of the 'Get Finland Moving' programme. The cross-governmental, government-level programme is coordinated by the Ministry of Education and Culture. Background variables included the language responded in, the respondent's gender, age group, NUTS3 region of residence, highest level of education, household composition, and perceived financial situation of household
Growing Up in Scotland: Cohort 1: Sweep 10, 2019-2020: Special Licence Access

It aims to provide important information on children, young people and their families in Scotland. The study forms a central part of the Scottish Government's strategy for the long-term monitoring and evaluation of its policies for children and young people, with a specific focus on the early years. The study seeks both to describe the characteristics, circumstances and experiences of children in their early years in Scotland and, through its longitudinal design, to generate a better understanding of how children's start in life can shape their longer term prospects and developmentSince 2005 fieldwork has been undertaken by the Scottish Centre for Social Research. The survey design for Birth Cohort 1 consisted of recruiting the parents of an initial total of 5,217 children aged 10 months old in 2005 and interviewing them annually until their child reached age six. Further fieldwork was then undertaken at ages 8, 10, 12, 14 and 17-18 with a sample boost added at age 12.Data for sweeps 1-9 were collected via an in-home, face-to-face interview with self-complete sections. Fieldwork for sweep 10 was disrupted due to the COVID pandemic. As a result, the final portion of the data was collected via web and telephone questionnaires. Sweep 11 data were gathered via web, telephone and face-to-face surveys of cohort members and their parent/carer.Further information about the survey may be found on the Growing Up in Scotland website.In May 20205, data and documentation for Cohort 1, Sweeps 1-11 were released as individual studies (SNs 9373-9383 and 9386-9387).
