title: Lone Parents and Paid Work: Case Studies from Rural England, 2002-2003

description: &lt;i&gt;Lone Parents and Paid Work: Case Studies from Rural England, 2002-2003&lt;/i&gt; provides a comprehensive analysis of the experiences of lone parents living in the case study areas of rural England. The study combines quantitative and qualitative methods to provide relevant statistical data, in conjunction with an in-depth analysis of the relationship between paid work and their caring responsibilities from the lone parents’ perspective. The qualitative transcripts are not currently available.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The dataset was created from data collected from a postal questionnaire survey. Colour-coded questionnaires were sent to the four case study districts: South Somerset, Mendip, Eden and South Lakeland. The case studies were selected to reflect a range of rural locations. The questionnaires were dispatched to single parents through ‘gatekeepers’ (schools, nurseries, health visitors, the Gingerbread group, Jobcentre Plus, Sure Start and the Connexions service) according to the existence and willingness of such institutions to cooperate.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information can be found on the &lt;a href="http://www.esrcsocietytoday/esrcinfocentre/viewawardpage.aspx?awardnumber=R000223778" title ="ESRC Award"&gt;ESRC Award&lt;/a&gt; webpage.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Survey of Households in Poor Urban Neighbourhoods in China, 2006-2007
title: Household Survey Data in 25 Chinese Poor Urban Neighbourhoods

description: This study investigates the alarming rise of urban poverty in China; in particular the patterns of urban poverty and the institutional causes are examined. The researchers look for evidence of institutional innovations that have emerged as individuals and organisations seek to negotiate more secure access to vital civic goods and services. A case study approach was used due to the complexity of the issue and the size of the Chinese urban population. Six cities were chosen and four neighbourhoods in each city were investigated. These cities were distributed in the costal, central and western region respectively, including Guangzhou, Nanjing, Harbin, Wuhan, Kumin, and Xi’an. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information is available from the &lt;a href="http://www.esrcsocietytoday/esrcinfocentre/viewawardpage.aspx?awardnumber=RES-167-25-0005" title ="ESRC Award"&gt;ESRC Award&lt;/a&gt; webpage.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Wellbeing in Developing Countries: Income and Expenditure, 2005-2006
title: Wellbeing in Developing Countries, 2002-2007
title: WeD

description: &lt;i&gt;Wellbeing in Developing Countries&lt;/i&gt; is a series of studies which aim to develop a conceptual and methodological approach to understanding the social and cultural construction of wellbeing in developing countries. The Wellbeing in Developing Countries Research Group (WeD), based at the University of Bath, drew on knowledge and expertise from three different departments (Economics and International Development, Social and Policy Sciences and Psychology) as well as a network of overseas contacts. The international, interdisciplinary team formed a major programme of comparative research, focused on six communities in each of four countries: Ethiopia, Thailand, Peru and Bangladesh. All sites within the countries have been given anonymous site names, with the exception of Ethiopia where the team chose to follow an alternative locally agreed procedure on anonymisation. Data can be matched across studies using the HOUSEKEY (Site code and household number).&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The research raises fundamental questions both for the academic study of development, and for the policy community. The WeD arrived at the following definition of wellbeing through their research: "Wellbeing is a state of being with others, where human needs are met, where one can act meaningfully to pursue one's goals, and where one enjoys a satisfactory quality of life".&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;

 &lt;i&gt;Wellbeing in Developing Countries: Income and Expenditure, 2005-2006&lt;/i&gt; comprises the Income and Expenditure Survey (carried out in Bangladesh and Peru) and Diary (carried out in Ethiopia and Thailand). The different instruments have been devised to fit with other aspects of data collection undertaken in the countries and hence also offer an opportunity for comparative evaluation of the methods involved. For each country there are data files at the visit level (ranging from 3 to 12 visits per household). There are several files for data at the lower level (i.e. data within a visit to a household). There are also files at the individual/respondent level.&lt;br&gt;

 &lt;i&gt;Wellbeing in Developing Countries: Resources and Needs, 2004-2005&lt;/i&gt; comprises the Resources and Needs Questionnaire (RANQ) which was carried out in each of the four countries. RANQ was administered to approximately 250 households in each research site and designed as a single respondent instrument. Where possible the single principal respondent to the questions was the Head of Household. In the absence of the Head of Household another senior member of the household was taken as the principal respondent. In order to obtain information or views from other members of the household, interviewers were encouraged to allow the main respondent to be informed by other members of the household. This type of ‘group’ interview is often unavoidable but RANQ procedures encouraged the principal respondent to consult other available household members, if it was acceptable to do so.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
For each country there is one data file at the household level, one file for the individual level, and there are several files at lower levels (where there are several records per household or individual).&lt;br&gt;

 &lt;i&gt;Wellbeing in Developing Countries: Quality of Life, 2004-2005&lt;/i&gt; comprises the Quality of Life (QoL) Survey which was carried out in each of the four countries. The QoL was administered to approx 370 men and women in each country (approximately 60 per research site) in the local language by a team of interviewers selected by each of the country teams. The majority of respondents also completed the other surveys that form part of this research project and are available from the UKDA under GN 33394. The remainder were sampled proportionately according to age, socio-economic status, ethnicity and religion. For each country there is one data file at the individual level.&lt;br&gt;

title: Learning at Work Survey, 2004
title: Learning as Work: Teaching and Learning Processes in the Contemporary Work Organisation

description: The &lt;i&gt;Learning at Work Survey, 2004&lt;/i&gt; is an innovative survey of how employees learn at work. It comprised questions that aim to: reveal previously under-researched (and under-surveyed) sources of learning associated with everyday work activities; identify their relative importance in helping individuals improve their job performance and map their distribution among employees. It was based on a survey of 1,943 employees interviewed about their jobs in a three week period in February 2004.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; This survey is linked to the &lt;i&gt;Communities of Practice Survey, 2007&lt;/i&gt; (available at the UKDA under SN 6085). Both surveys were completed as part of a project set up to investigate the factors that facilitate or impede learning at work.

title: Communities of Practice Survey, 2007
title: Learning as Work: Teaching and Learning Processes in the Contemporary Work Organisation

description: The term ‘community of practice’ is widely used to describe the ways in which people work and learn in organisations. It comprises three dimensions: mutual engagement, joint enterprise and shared repertoire. The &lt;i&gt;Communities of Practice Survey, 2007&lt;/i&gt; contains responses from 1,899 employees interviewed about their relationships at work, their learning experiences and how they rate their own work performance. The questions were designed to reveal these three conceptual dimensions. The fieldwork was carried out in a three week period in late February and early March 2007. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; This survey is linked to the &lt;i&gt;Learning at Work Survey, 2004&lt;/i&gt; (available at the UKDA under SN 6084).

description: The most significant change in the institutional structure of European governance over the past two decades has been the increased power of the European Parliament (EP). Given the Parliament’s growing influence and the dramatic European Union(EU) enlargement in 2004, it has become increasingly important to monitor the attitudes and behaviour of Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) from different member states.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The European Parliament Research Group (EPRG) conducted two surveys of MEPs in 2000 and 2006. The 2000 survey was conducted in October-December 2000 and surveyed MEPs of the Fifth European Parliament (1999-2004). The 2006 survey was conducted in March-June 2006 and surveyed MEPs of the Sixth European Parliament (2004-09).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information about the survey can be found on the &lt;a href="http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/EPRG/" title ="EPRG MEP Survey"&gt;EPRG MEP Survey&lt;/a&gt; web page or the &lt;a href="http://www.esrcsocietytoday/esrcinfocentre/viewawardpage.aspx?awardnumber=RES-000-22-1554" title ="ESRC Award"&gt;ESRC Award&lt;/a&gt; web page.&lt;br&gt;

title: Scottish Demography: Scottish Migration to, and Return from, South East England, 2005-2006

description: This is a mixed methods dataset.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The project examined Scots living in England. Scots are one of the largest non-English born immigrant groups in the UK. While the attraction of Scotland to the English-born population is documented, less attention is given to why Scots continue to migrate to England (albeit in lower numbers) and how the employment and progression opportunities, especially in the South Eastern England labour market compare with opportunities in Scotland. This is important in the context of concern about Scotland's demographic regime and the significant reduction in numbers projected over the next three decades. The research literature points to the need to reassess the role of the Scots living in SE England (especially those in cities/large towns) in terms of the functions they perform. Why have their numbers declined? How has the scale of Scottish return migration from the SE varied over time relative to the changing role of Scotland in national/international economic and political processes and in relation to demographic change in Scotland?&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The research uses questionnaire survey data from a sample of Scots migrants living in South East England in 2005 with 30 qualitative interviews with Scots who had returned to Scotland.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information can be found on the project's ESRC funding &lt;a href="http://www.esrcsocietytoday/esrcinfocentre/viewawardpage.aspx?awardnumber=RES-342-25-0009" title="Scottish Migration ESRC funding web page"&gt;web page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

description: &lt;p&gt;The &lt;i&gt;Continuous Household Survey&lt;/i&gt; (CHS) is one of the largest continuous surveys carried out in Northern Ireland. The survey is designed, conducted and analysed by the Central Survey Unit of the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA). It is based on a sample of the general population resident in private households and has been running since 1983. The Survey is designed to provide a regular source of information on a wide range of social and economic issues relevant to Northern Ireland. The CHS is an important source of information in Northern Ireland and is used by many Government departments and Agencies. Regular clients include the Departments of Enterprise, Trade and Investment, Culture Arts and Leisure, Regional Developments, Environment, Education, Employment and Learning and NISRA. &lt;br&gt;

title: Implications of the National Offender Management Service for Prison Officers, 2006

description: The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) was introduced in June 2004. It is intended to integrate the prison and probation services and to provide an operational framework for the 'end-to-end management' of offenders throughout custodial and community elements of their sentences. It also introduces a 'purchaser-provider split' in the delivery of correctional services. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The main objective of this mixed methodology study was to explore the perspectives and experiences of frontline prison staff regarding the transition to NOMS. Semi-structured interviews with prison officers and governing staff were carried out in 23 prisons, and demographic and other quantitative data collected. As well as documenting this key development in the history of the prison service and its perceived impact on practice, the research was focused on issues of interest to senior managers and those responsible for implementing change. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Exploring Data, Second Edition: Teaching Datasets, 1958-2005

description: This series of datasets which covers a range of research topics in the social sciences, was created to accompany the second edition of the book Exploring Data, and to illustrate statistical techniques. The data to accompany the first edition of this book is available at the UKDA under SN 2661. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The study comprises five datasets extracted from full datasets held at the UKDA. The number of variables in each dataset is restricted to reduce the complexity of the data. However, all cases in the original datasets are included in these teaching datasets.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The data within this study are compiled from:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;British Social Attitudes (BSA), 2004&lt;/i&gt; (available at the UKDA under SN 5329)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;General Household Survey (GHS), 2005&lt;/i&gt; (available at the UKDA under SN 5640) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;National Child Development Study (NCDS), 1958-2004&lt;/i&gt; (various study numbers but available at the UKDA under GN 33004) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;World Bank World Development Indicators (WDI)&lt;/i&gt;, (available at the UKDA under SN 4814) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;Youth Cohort Study (YCS), Cohort 11&lt;/i&gt; (available at the UKDA under SN 5452) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br&gt;

title: Mathematical Images and Identities: Education, Entertainment and Social Justice, 2006-2007

description: This mixed methods study investigated how popular cultural images of mathematics and mathematicians were used, the relationships that learners constructed with the subject and their gendered/classed/ethnic identities as ‘mathematicians’ or ‘non-mathematicians’.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Using a discursive approach, the research took place with Year 10 and Year 11 GCSE students and second and third year mathematics and humanities undergraduates. Both groups were about a year away from key choice points. This created the opportunity to look at whether and how popular culture is deployed in their choices to stay with or leave mathematics. A questionnaire was conducted with 656 school and university students to elicit information about which contemporary popular cultural forms were most significant for them. Using the questionnaire findings, an archive of popular images of mathematicians and mathematics was built up and analysed. Twenty-seven focus groups were then held and 49 participants were individually interviewed. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information about the project can be found on the &lt;a href="http://www.londonmet.ac.uk/research-units/ipse/research-projects/completed-projects/mii/" title ="Mathematical Images and Identities"&gt;Mathematical Images and Identities&lt;/a&gt; project web page and the &lt;a href="http://www.esrcsocietytoday/esrcinfocentre/viewawardpage.aspx?awardnumber=RES-000-23-1454" title ="ESRC Award"&gt;ESRC Award&lt;/a&gt; web page.&lt;br&gt;

title: Cultures of Consumption and Consumer Involvement in Public Services, 2003-2005

description: Processes of involvement and representation are seen as particularly important in public services if consumer interests are adequately to be taken into account. Yet there are several different, sometimes competing ways for consumers' views to be represented, and their interaction is not well understood. This study (part of the ESRC/AHRC ‘Cultures of Consumption’ Programme) explored these issues with service users and provider representatives in three public services – housing, social (day) care and leisure services. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Two case studies (a major and a minor) were selected for each area of the three service areas. Cases were selected not for their representativeness but in a purposive sample designed to cover a variety of experiences. A combination of face-to-face interviews and a self-completion questionnaire were used.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information is available from the &lt;a href="http://www.consume.bbk.ac.uk/research/birchall.html" title ="Cultures of Consumption Programme"&gt;Cultures of Consumption Programme&lt;/a&gt; project web page and the &lt;a href="http://www.esrcsocietytoday/esrcinfocentre/viewawardpage.aspx?awardnumber=RES-143-25-0040" title ="ESRC Award"&gt;ESRC Award&lt;/a&gt; web page.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;
