title: British Household Panel Survey Calibrated Time Use Data, 1994-2004
title: British Household Panel Survey, 1991-2009
title: BHPS

description: For this project, a set of time use variables were calibrated for the &lt;i&gt;British Household Panel Survey&lt;/i&gt; (BHPS), which ran from 1991-2009 (see the &lt;a href="http://discover.ukdataservice.ac.uk/series/?sn=200005" title="BHPS"&gt;BHPS series&lt;/a&gt; webpage), using evidence derived from a smaller-scale panel survey that collected time use information by both the survey and diary methods, &lt;i&gt;Home OnLine, 1998-2001&lt;/i&gt; (HoL) (held at the UK Data Archive under SN 4607). Past research has suggested that the time diary method produces more accurate and reliable measures of time use than the survey approach. The diary approach, however, usually has a low response rate and is not practicable for a large-scale panel study like the BHPS. However, direct questioning in survey interviews is a relatively flexible approach to collecting time use data. The project therefore developed a method to combine the strengths of the survey approach and the diary method. The survey part of HoL shared the same questionnaire-derived time use predictor variables with the BHPS. Regression of the predictors on the time diary data in the HoL study was used to calibrate time use in the BHPS by multiplying the resulting regression coefficients with the same BHPS predictor variables. This produced a calibrated index of time use patterns based on BHPS questionnaire items. The calibrated time use variables cover all major categories of daily activities and are available in Wave 4 (1994) to Wave 14 (2004) of the BHPS.&lt;br&gt;

title: Worklife Expectancies in the United Kingdom based on Longitudinal Labour Force Survey Data, 1993-2003

description: In the legal system in England and Wales, the assessment of the future loss of earnings with respect to personal injury is based on the 'multiplier-multiplicand' method. In this simple framework, the role of the multiplier is to account for future uncertainties that might affect the length of time a person could be gainfully employed until final retirement. The loss-of-earnings multipliers for England and Wales are currently prepared by the Government Actuary's Department (GAD) in consultation with a multi-disciplinary working party, and are periodically published together with explanatory notes. This set of tabulated multipliers are simply referred to as the 'Ogden Tables'. The purpose of these tables is to provide scientific guidance to the courts in England and Wales in determining the value of the multipliers. However, the Ogden Tables are subject to the important criticism of being out-of-date in terms of both methodology and data in the valuation of the labour market risks. For this research project, the potential impact of dynamic multistate modelling and the use of the latest LFS data on the current multipliers was considered. A multistate Markov chain modelling framework was applied, which, in contrast to the previous static methodology of measuring workforce participation rates, represents labour market risks in terms of dynamic flows in and out of three basic economic states. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Thus, individuals were classified by their economic activity as 'employed', 'unemployed' and 'out of labour force' (i.e. 'inactive') and the model then led to estimates based on the observed transitions between these states. Five-quarter LFS longitudinal datasets covering 1993-2003 were used, and worklife expectancy figures were computed, conditional on current economic state and age. Furthermore, the effects of additional factors on the worklife expectancies were quantified, such as region, industry, educational attainment and disability. The results demonstrated that the last two factors are the most critical in terms of future earnings. However, these factors are not currently included in the 'Ogden Tables' recommendations. In the context of damages for personal injury, it is particularly important to differentiate by disability, which is then used to interpret the results in terms of future earnings in the circumstances before and after the injury.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Survey of Employment Practices, 2004-2005
title: SEP

description: The &lt;i&gt;Survey of Employment Practices, 2004-2005&lt;/i&gt; (SEP) was carried out by BMRB Social Research, in conjunction with NIESR, on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). The study was designed to establish, prior to the implementation of the draft &lt;i&gt;Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006&lt;/i&gt;, the extent to which current employment policies and practices accord with equal opportunity with respect to age. The survey provides a baseline for judging the effects of the forthcoming legislation, allowing changes in employers' policies and attitudes to be tracked over time by future surveys.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Employment in Britain, 1992
title: EIB

description: The &lt;i&gt;Employment in Britain Survey, 1992&lt;/i&gt; (EIB) aimed to survey the British labour market. It sampled employed, unemployed and self-employed people aged between 20 and 60 years. The aim of the study was to contribute to the assessment of changes over time in employment in Britain, and to provide data for research on cross-national differences.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; There were two chief principles guiding the construction of the questionnaire. The first was relevance for testing theories and predictions about changes in the employment relationship. The second principle was comparabiiity with other research. The EIB questionnaires were based on various sources, including the &lt;i&gt;Women and Employment Survey, 1980&lt;/i&gt; (held at the UK Data Archive (UKDA) under SN 1746), the &lt;i&gt;Social Class in Modern Britain, 1984&lt;/i&gt; survey (held under SN 2718), the &lt;i&gt;Social Change and Economic Life Initiative Surveys, 1986-1987&lt;/i&gt; (SCELI) (held under SN 2798) and the &lt;i&gt;British Social Attitudes Survey, 1989&lt;/i&gt; (held under SN 2723). &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Questions from the EIB survey have since been used in other surveys, such as the &lt;i&gt;Skills Surveys&lt;/i&gt; of 1997 and 2001 (held at the UKDA under SNs 3993 and 4972 respectively).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Discourses of Globalisation and European Integration in the United Kingdom and Ireland, 2004-2005

description: The principal objective of the research was to survey and map elite political attitudes to globalisation, European integration and the relationship between the two. Explicitly designed as a pilot study for a broader multi-country and multi-language European comparative analysis, the focus of the project was restricted to the United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland, two countries that are particularly well suited to a comparative analysis of this kind due to their common language, their common institutional origins and the structural similarities in their political economies.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The research was informed by the following key questions: &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;how policy-makers perceive globalisation and European integration (including the relationship between them)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;whether distinctive discourses of globalisation, European integration and the relationship between the two can be identified, how pervasive the concepts are, and to what extent they are conserved between cases and, within cases, between political parties, civil servants and politicians, and front- and back-benchers&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;whether such discourses are national in character or are party-political factors the principal determinants of attitudes towards globalisation and European integration&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;whether there are disparities between policy-makers' attitudes towards globalisation and European integration, as revealed in survey-based research and the official/public appeal to such discourses&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;The research was conducted via a postal questionnaire, which was sent to all Members of Parliament (MPs) in the UK, all Members of the Dail (parliament) in Ireland, and 1,000 UK and Irish civil servants. This consisted of closed questions with identical scalar answer formats that reflected a range of perspectives regarding globalisation and European integration. The postal survey was backed by detailed discourse analysis of policy documents and a small number of semi-structured interviews with senior policy-makers from both countries (only the postal survey responses are included in the dataset).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Resisting Subjugation: Law and Power amongst the Santal of India and Bangladesh, 2002-2004

description: This is an enhanced qualitative study.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The study uses mixed methods and focuses on the Santal adivasi (tribal people) in Jharkhand, India and Rajshahi, Bangladesh. Anthropological and sociological data collection methods were used to collect material in four villages, three courts of law and from academics and activists.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The focus of the data collection was to find evidence of how disempowered tribal people were able or not able to use the law to their advantage. A broad definition of law was used which acknowledged that the subjects of the research lived by a plurality of laws (state law, their customary law and norms directing their relationships in the village and the home). The main focus of the study was to understand how individuals related to these different laws and legal orders and the factors that affected their empowerment or disempowerment through law.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The collection has been enhanced by the conversion of the qualitative data from Atlas.ti software to RTF format. The Atlas.ti files underwent checks and editing before conversion and are also available for dissemination; enabling data manipulation and querying within the database.&lt;br&gt;

title: Human Resource Management and Performance in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, 2004-2005

description: This research project investigated whether investing in 'progressive' human resources (HR) practices appears to pay dividends in terms of corporate performance for small firms in the sectors the project covered. However, the degree to which this is true, and the size and significance of the effect, will vary according to a range of factors. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; One of these factors is the strategy that the firm adopts. Broadly, it may be pursuing a 'high road' strategy of investing in progressive HR practices that tend to be associated with a greater degree of commitment and motivation amongst the workforce, as well as to both an increased ability and greater opportunities to work more productively. Hence such investment will tend to be associated with higher productivity and customer retention, and thus also profitability. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Alternatively, the firm may choose a 'low road', cost-cutting strategy. This appears to be especially so for 'older' small companies, who may turn to this approach as a 'strategy of last resort'. The effectiveness of HR policies and practices, therefore, will depend, in part at least, on the strategy being pursued by the company.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; If a 'high road' strategy is consciously chosen, then the costs of investing in HR practices can be expected to be recouped through improved performance. However, in order to achieve this, HR practices need to improve commitment and motivation amongst staff, enhance skills, and provide opportunities to use them to increase productivity. For this to happen, HR practices should be introduced and implemented coherently, alongside appropriate organisational design. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The dataset produced by the project included a firm-level survey, and four case studies, for which a questionnaire from the &lt;i&gt;Workplace Employee Relations Survey, 1998&lt;/i&gt; (held at the UK Data Archive (UKDA) under SN 3955) was used. See documentation for further details of methodology.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Employees' Awareness, Knowledge and Exercise of Employment Rights Survey, 2005
title: Individuals' Awareness, Knowledge and Exercise of Employment Rights Survey, 2000-

description: The DTI commissioned the Institute for Employment Studies (IES) and BMRB Social Research to undertake this second benchmark survey of employees' awareness, knowledge and exercise of employment rights, which was conducted in 2005. The main aims of the study were:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;to assess employees' general awareness of the scope of their employment rights and, where appropriate and relevant, to draw comparisons with the 2000 survey&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;for selected topics, to establish employees' knowledge of specific employment rights provisions (e.g. level of the National Minimum Wage, holiday entitlement, maternity leave and anti-discrimination law)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;to find out the main sources of information and professional advice about employment rights issues, and, where employees had experienced a problem in the previous five years, where they sought advice and guidance and what they did to try and resolve the problem&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;to identify the personal and employment characteristics that influence employees' level of awareness knowledge and preparedness to seek advice and take action to enforce their individual employment rights (including employment status)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;In addition the survey sought to estimate the extent of 'on-call' working in Great Britain, differentiating between those on call at their place of work (residential on-call) and those who are able to leave their place of work.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The first survey in the series was conducted in 2000 (held at the UK Data Archive (UKDA) under SN 5082), and provided a baseline against which future surveys could be compared. However, as detailed in the technical report for this study, there were major improvements to the methodology and questionnaire between 2000 and 2005 so comparisons must be made cautiously with attention drawn to this caveat.&lt;br&gt;

title: Northern Ireland Assembly Election Survey, 2003
title: Northern Ireland Assembly Election Studies, 2003-

description: The 2003 second election to the Northern Ireland Assembly made history simply through the fact that the Assembly had remained in existence (even if suspended) long enough to justify a second election. None of the other conventions, forums or assemblies for Northern Ireland introduced since 1972 had managed to do so. Given the difficulties of sustaining devolved government, this was no small feat, and thus presented a unique opportunity to reassess political attitudes and the changing fortunes of the parties, after five years of the British-Irish Agreement. While much has been written about the panoply of new institutions derived from the Agreement, if they are to work they must ultimately have some electoral underpinning and continued validation. The Assembly elections of 1998 constituted a new beginning for Northern Ireland because, for the first time since 1973, they were about electing an Assembly, and indirectly an Executive, in the changed context where local politicians had been empowered to govern important policy jurisdictions (with other functional areas to follow if cross-community consent proved viable). &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
One crucial task of the &lt;i&gt;Northern Ireland Assembly Election Survey, 2003&lt;/i&gt; was to examine changing voting behaviour between the 1998 and 2003 elections, and the potential effect that this would have on the Assembly and related institutions. The survey involved 1,000 face-to-face interviews with adults aged 18 years or over, and also included a self-completion element. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
A previous study, the &lt;i&gt;Northern Ireland Referendum and Election Study, 1998&lt;/i&gt; which covered the 1998 Assembly election, is held at the UK Data Archive (UKDA) under SN 5442.&lt;br&gt;

title: Reform in Transition Economies, 1989-2001

description: The aim of the research was to further understanding of the fundamental determinants of economic reform in the Central and Eastern European and former Soviet Union transition countries. The project was motivated by the following set of questions: What were the determinants of both overall and more specific reform efforts? What were the nature and role of the different specific reforms? What was the relationship between the various specific reforms? Which reform elements were complements and which were substitutes? More specifically, the proposed research had two objectives. One was to construct an extensively-documented panel dataset (covering 25 transition countries from 1989 to 2001) and the second was to use these data to shed light on the role of reform as a determinant of economic performance in the transitional countries. The project aimed to provide objective indicators of economic reform for transition economies. The data would be used to quantify and explain the causal relations and mutual interactions between initial conditions, reform choices and various dimensions of economic performance in the specific conditions of transition from central planning and communism to market economy and democracy.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: DSS/PSI Programme of Research into Low-Income Families, 1991-2001
title: PRILIF7

description: The &lt;i&gt;DSS/PSI Programme of Research into Low-Income Families&lt;/i&gt; (PRILIF) studied low-income families with dependent children. The study was conducted by the Department of Social Security (DSS) (now the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)), and the Policy Studies Institute (PSI).&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The PRILIF series began in 1991, when a nationally-representative survey of low-income families was undertaken to study the effects of Family Credit on labour market opportunities. The series finished in 2001, and comprised seven waves, deposited at the UK Data Archive (UKDA) in three parts:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;DSS/PSI Programme of Research into Low-Income Families, 1991-1995&lt;/i&gt; (held under SN 3977)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;DSS/PSI Programme of Research into Low-Income Families, 1996 and 1998&lt;/i&gt; (SN 4425)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;DSS/PSI Programme of Research into Low-Income Families, 2001&lt;/i&gt; (SN 5406)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;The PRILIF series examined five main policy issues:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;how lone parents could improve their incomes, combining paid work, benefits and maintenance payments&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;the effectiveness of child support&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;the failure of some families to claim their benefit entitlement&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;the persistent dfficulties experienced by some families, especially the lowest paid couples, in maintaining themselves in paid jobs&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;the wider effects of the use of income-tested in-work benefits on incentives to work&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;The main focus of the research was on families on the margins of work and concerned the influence of different sources of income (benefits, maintenance and earnings) on their labour market participation and family welfare.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
A similar survey series, the &lt;i&gt;Families and Children Study&lt;/i&gt; (held under SN 4427), is also conducted by the DWP. &lt;br&gt;

description: The project had five major objectives:&lt;br&gt; 1. To create a detailed sociological and demographic database on individual families for the period 1871-1910 for the town of Ipswich by linking information from marriage, birth and death registers, and the 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901 censuses. &lt;br&gt; 2. To clarify the relationship between socio-economic status and fertility and mortality. &lt;br&gt; 3. To illuminate the nature of the long-term transition in fertility and mortality that took place in Ipswich and in England between 1871 and 1910.&lt;br&gt; 4. To analyse the relationship and interaction between fertility and mortality variables and how they changed over time.&lt;br&gt; 5. To clarify the influence of local environment and geography on the structure of mortality, and to study patterns of geographical migration in the period between 1871 and 1910.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;
