Annual Population Survey Household Dataset, January - December, 2024
No full textAbstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The Annual Population Survey (APS) household datasets are produced annually and are available from 2004 (Special Licence) and 2006 (End User Licence). They allow production of family and household labour market statistics at local areas and for small sub-groups of the population across the UK. The household data comprise key variables from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) and the APS 'person' datasets. The APS household datasets include all the variables on the LFS and APS person datasets, except for the income variables. They also include key family and household-level derived variables. These variables allow for an analysis of the combined economic activity status of the family or household. In addition, they also include more detailed geographical, industry, occupation, health and age variables.For further detailed information about methodology, users should consult the Labour Force Survey User Guide, included with the APS documentation. For variable and value labelling and coding frames that are not included either in the data or in the current APS documentation, users are advised to consult the latest versions of the LFS User Guides, which are available from the ONS Labour Force Survey - User Guidance webpages.Occupation data for 2021 and 2022The ONS has identified an issue with the collection of some occupational data in 2021 and 2022 data files in a number of their surveys. While they estimate any impacts will be small overall, this will affect the accuracy of the breakdowns of some detailed (four-digit Standard Occupational Classification (SOC)) occupations, and data derived from them. None of ONS' headline statistics, other than those directly sourced from occupational data, are affected and you can continue to rely on their accuracy. Further information can be found in the ONS article published on 11 July 2023: Revision of miscoded occupational data in the ONS Labour Force Survey, UK: January 2021 to September 2022 End User Licence and Secure Access APS data Users should note that there are two versions of each APS dataset. One is available under the standard End User Licence (EUL) agreement, and the other is a Secure Access version. The EUL version includes Government Office Region geography, banded age, 3-digit SOC and industry sector for main, second and last job. The Secure Access version contains more detailed variables relating to:age: single year of age, year and month of birth, age completed full-time education and age obtained highest qualification, age of oldest dependent child and age of youngest dependent childfamily unit and household: including a number of variables concerning the number of dependent children in the family according to their ages, relationship to head of household and relationship to head of familynationality and country of origingeography: including county, unitary/local authority, place of work, Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics 2 (NUTS2) and NUTS3 regions, and whether lives and works in same local authority districthealth: including main health problem, and current and past health problemseducation and apprenticeship: including numbers and subjects of various qualifications and variables concerning apprenticeshipsindustry: including industry, industry class and industry group for main, second and last job, and industry made redundant fromoccupation: including 4-digit Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) for main, second and last job and job made redundant fromsystem variables: including week number when interview took place and number of households at addressThe Secure Access data have more restrictive access conditions than those made available under the standard EUL. Prospective users will need to gain ONS Accredited Researcher status, complete an extra application form and demonstrate to the data owners exactly why they need access to the additional variables. Users are strongly advised to first obtain the standard EUL version of the data to see if they are sufficient for their research requirements.Main Topics:Topics covered include: household composition and relationships, housing tenure, nationality, ethnicity and residential history, employment and training (including government schemes), workplace and location, job hunting, educational background and qualifications

Growing Up in Scotland: Cohort 1: Sweep 5, 2009-2010: Special Licence Access
No full textAbstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The Growing Up in Scotland (GUS) study is a large-scale longitudinal social survey which follows the lives of several groups of Scottish children from infancy through childhood and adolescence. 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). Previously they were held under one study (SN 5760) which has been withdrawn from the data catalogue.Main Topics:The main carer questionnaire covered the following topics:household informationnon-resident parentsfood and eatingparenting styles and responsibilitiestransition to pre-schooltransition to primary schoolchildcarechild health and developmentactivities with othersemployment and educationincome, expenditure and financial managementaccommodation and transportA topic overview covering all sweeps, is available on the GUS website.</div

Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence: Jordan Midline, 2022-2023
No full textAbstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence (GAGE) is a ten-year (2015-2025) research programme, funded by UK Aid from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), that seeks to combine longitudinal data collection and a mixed-methods approach to understand the lives of adolescents in particularly marginalized regions of the Global South, and to uncover 'what works' to support the development of their capabilities over the course of the second decade of life, when many of these individuals will go through key transitions such as finishing their education, starting to work, getting married and starting to have children.GAGE undertakes longitudinal research in seven countries in Africa (Ethiopia, Rwanda), Asia (Bangladesh, Nepal) and the Middle East (Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine). Sampling adolescent girls and boys aged between 10‐19‐year olds, the quantitative survey follows a global total of 18,000 adolescent girls and boys, and their caregivers and explores the effects that programme have on their lives. This is substantiated by in‐depth qualitative and participatory research with adolescents and their peers. Its policy and legal analysis work stream studies the processes of policy change that influence the investment in and effectiveness of adolescent programming.Further information, including publications, can be found on the Overseas Development Institute GAGE website. SN 9371 - Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence: Jordan Midline, 2022-2023In Jordan, GAGE initially recruited a sample of adolescent girls and boys in two separate cohorts (younger adolescents aged 10-12 years and older adolescents age 15-17 years) during 2018 and 2019. GAGE surveyed the adolescents, as well as their adult female caregivers. This sample includes Syrian refugees living in refugee camps, informal tented settlements (ITS) and host communities, as well as Palestinian refugees living in refugee camps and host communities, vulnerable Jordanian adolescents living in communities hosting refugees, and a small group of adolescents of other nationalities living in Jordan. Additional information about the sample and the baseline Jordan data are available in the GAGE Jordan Baseline Sample Overview and Data Use Manual (2021) included in the study documentation.In-person follow-up data collection resumed in Jordan in 2022 (after the study was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic) and Round 2 Midline data collection took place during 2022 and 2023. At the Midline GAGE attempted to resurvey all adolescents and a subset of adult female caregivers and households. Midline data collection occurred in tandem with UNICEF Cash Plus Endline data collection which is available from the UK Data Service under SN 9345.Main Topics:Youth; adolescence; gender; longitudinal impact evaluation of youth programming.</p
Cancer Research UK Local Cancer Awareness Measure, Greater Manchester, April-May 2024: Special Licence Access
No full textAbstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The Cancer Awareness Measure (CAM) was developed in 2007-8 to address the absence of a validated measure of general public awareness of cancer (Stubbings, S., Robb, K., Waller, J., Ramirez, A., Austoker, J., Macleod, U., Hion, S., and Wardle, J. (2009) 'Development of a measurement tool to assess public awareness of cancer', British Journal of Cancer, 101(2), S13-S17.).The survey includes measures of awareness of signs and symptoms of cancer, cancer risk factors, age-related risk, screening programmes and potential barriers to seeing the GP. Since then, Cancer Research UK (CRUK) has significantly revised and updated the survey, including a wider range of questions and collecting data online instead of face-to-face. In 2023-2024 Cancer Research UK ran two Local Cancer Awareness Measure Plus (CAM+) pilots, collecting data in two local regions (Greater Manchester and Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR)) using both an online panel and community sampling to recruit participants. The LLR pilot Local CAM+ datasets are available under SNs 9343 and 9359.The Greater Manchester (GM) pilot Local CAM+ dataset does not include National CAM+ questions on alcohol consumption, physical activity, perception of health services capacity and closeness to cancer. However, it includes additional questions on possible facilitators for cancer screening attendance and willingness to travel for hospital tests.A End User Licence version of this study is available under SN 9342.Further information about the CAM+ may be found on the Cancer Research UK Cancer Awareness Measure Plus (CAM+) webpage.Main Topics:The CAM questionnaires address the following topics: public awareness of cancer symptoms public knowledge of cancer risk factors barriers and enablers to help seeking uptake of screening programmes barriers to cancer screening (cervical, breast and bowel)experience of breast and cervical cancer screening symptom experience co-morbiditiesperception of symptom seriousness help seeking behaviours including remote consultation and re-presentation perceptions of remote consultation demographic variables including health behaviours such as smoking and fruit and vegetable consumption.From 2021 onwards, the questionnaire also covers:impact of COVID-19 on help seeking behaviourperceptions of safety from COVID-19 in different medical settings.The Special Licence version of the CAM dataset includes more detailed data on symptoms, risk factors and reasons for delay. Users should check the standard End User Licence (EUL) version of the study to see whether it meets their research needs before making an application for the Special Licence version.</p
Annual Acquisitions and Disposals of Capital Assets Survey, 2014-2018: Secure Access
No full textAbstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The Annual Acquisitions and Disposals of Capital Assets Survey (ACAS) is the only survey conducted by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) that collects detailed product breakdown on capital expenditure.The survey provides information on the products which are sub-components of gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) assets.Capital assets (or fixed assets) are assets produced as outputs from processes of production that are themselves used repeatedly, or continuously, in processes of production for more than one year. The previous name of this survey was the Survey into Business Spending on Capital Items (Business Spend). Changes to this survey and to the Annual Business Survey (UKDA SN 7451) and the Quarterly Survey of Capital Expenditure (SN 6708) in 2015 lead to the renaming and increasing the number of questions asked on the ACAS. The expanded survey includes a more detailed breakdown of machinery and equipment and intellectual property, as well as splitting up investment into computer software and databases.Results from the survey are needed to more accurately deflate the Quarterly Acquisitions and Disposals of Capital Assets Survey (QCAS) (SN 7882).ACAS data provide essential information for the UK National Accounts and feeds into the compilation of GFCF which is a major component of the expenditure measure of UK GDP.Linking to other business studies These data contain Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR) reference numbers. These are anonymous but unique reference numbers assigned to business organisations. Their inclusion allows researchers to combine different business survey sources together. Researchers may consider applying for other business data to assist their research.Main Topics: The ACAS collects acquisition and disposal data on:vehicle and other transport equipment (including new, used and goods vehicles)machinery and equipmentnew building work (excluding dwellings)services associated with buildings and other capital expenditure (including computer services, business consultancy, engineering, and construction services)The ACAS data files also include:Standard Industrial Classification 2007 codesturnoveremployment</ul

Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence: Ethiopia Round 3, 2021-2022 extends the GAGE quantitative research in Ethiopia for a third round. A sample of more than 8,500 adolescent boys and girls was sought, including nearly 6,200 adolescents surveyed in an earlier round as well as approximately 2,300 new adolescents. The main purpose of this survey was to gather information on the lives of Ethiopian adolescents living in urban and rural locations in the Amhara and Oromiya regions, to understand their changing lives and challenges. At the time of data collection, adolescents were primarily aged 11-20. The sample includes both randomly and purposefully sampled adolescents. The current data release includes information for the subset of individuals who are not part of an ongoing randomised evaluation of adolescent-centric programming. A total of 2,770 adolescent surveys are included in the current release.Main Topics:The Core Respondent (CR) dataset contains information on the focal adolescent's household, including information about key household members, household assets, and dwelling characteristics, as well as information about the focal adolescent her/himself.</div
Fourth European Survey of Enterprises on New and Emerging Risks (ESENER 2024)
No full textThe fourth European Survey of Enterprises on New and Emerging Risks (ESENER 2024) asks establishments about the way they manage occupational safety and health (OSH) in practice, with a particular focus on psychosocial risks, i.e. work-related stress, violence and harassment, as well as digitalisation. ESENER 2024 was conducted in spring and summer 2024 in establishments with five or more employees from both private and public organisations across all activity sectors except for private households (NACE T) and extraterritorial organisations (NACE U). In total, 41,458 establishments were surveyed across 30 European countries— the respondent being ‘the person who knows best about health and safety in the establishment’. By country, the samples ranged from about 450 in Malta to over 2,250 in France, Italy, Poland and Spain and over 3,100 in Germany. Data were collected through computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) but respondents had the option to complete the survey online if phone participation was refused. Fieldwork was carried out by Ipsos NV and its network of fieldwork centres across Europe. Samples were drawn according to a disproportional sample design which was later redressed by weighting. The questionnaire, largely the same to the 2014 and 2019 ESENER waves, was developed by a team comprising experts in survey design and in OSH, together with EU-OSHA staff and it explores in detail four areas of OSH: (1) the general approach in the establishment to managing OSH, (2) how the ‘emerging’ area of psychosocial risks is addressed, (3) the main drivers and barriers to the management of OSH and (4) how worker participation in OSH management is managed in practice.Die vierte Europäische Unternehmenserhebung über neue und aufkommende Risiken (ESENER 2024) befragt Unternehmen dazu, wie sie Arbeitssicherheit und Gesundheitsschutz (OSH) in der Praxis handhaben, wobei ein besonderer Schwerpunkt auf psychosozialen Risiken, d. h. arbeitsbedingtem Stress, Gewalt und Belästigung, sowie auf der Digitalisierung liegt. ESENER 2024 wurde im Frühjahr und Sommer 2024 in Unternehmen mit fünf oder mehr Beschäftigten aus privaten und öffentlichen Organisationen aller Wirtschaftszweige mit Ausnahme von privaten Haushalten (NACE T) und extraterritorialen Organisationen (NACE U) durchgeführt. Insgesamt wurden 41 458 Unternehmen in 30 europäischen Ländern befragt, wobei die Befragten „die Personen waren, die am besten über Gesundheit und Sicherheit im Unternehmen Bescheid wissen“. Je nach Land reichte die Stichprobengröße von etwa 450 in Malta bis zu über 2 250 in Frankreich, Italien, Polen und Spanien und über 3 100 in Deutschland. Die Daten wurden mittels computergestützter Telefoninterviews (CATI) erhoben, aber die Befragten hatten die Möglichkeit, die Umfrage online auszufüllen, wenn sie eine telefonische Teilnahme ablehnten. Die Feldarbeit wurde von Ipsos NV und seinem Netzwerk von Feldarbeitszentren in ganz Europa durchgeführt. Die Stichproben wurden nach einem disproportionalen Stichprobenplan gezogen, der später durch Gewichtung korrigiert wurde. Der Fragebogen, der weitgehend mit den ESENER-Erhebungen von 2014 und 2019 übereinstimmt, wurde von einem Team aus Experten für Umfragedesign und Arbeitssicherheit und Gesundheitsschutz am Arbeitsplatz in Zusammenarbeit mit Mitarbeitern der EU-OSHA entwickelt und untersucht vier Bereiche der Arbeitssicherheit und des Gesundheitsschutzes am Arbeitsplatz im Detail: (1) den allgemeinen Ansatz des Unternehmens zum Arbeitsschutzmanagement, (2) den Umgang mit dem „aufkommenden“ Bereich der psychosozialen Risiken, (3) die wichtigsten Triebkräfte und Hindernisse für das Arbeitsschutzmanagement und (4) die praktische Umsetzung der Arbeitnehmerbeteiligung am Arbeitsschutzmanagement
