title: British Crime Survey, 2000: Teaching Dataset

description: The &lt;i&gt;British Crime Survey, 2000&lt;/i&gt; (BCS) Teaching Dataset has been prepared solely for the purpose of teaching and student use. The dataset will help class tutors to incorporate empirical data into their courses and thus to develop student skills in quantitative methods of analysis. Many of the names of the variables and value labels are those used in the original BCS files. However, some variables have been recoded for ease of use and may vary from the original BCS data. The original BCS 2000 dataset is held at the UKDA under SN:4463. (Note that the main &lt;i&gt;British Crime Survey&lt;/i&gt; has now become the &lt;i&gt;Crime Survey for England and Wales&lt;/i&gt;, but titles of older studies in the series remain the same.) &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Survey of Public Attitudes to Quality of Life and the Environment, 2001
title: Surveys of Public Attitudes to the Environment, 1986-

description: This study is the fifth in a series of national surveys commissioned by the Department of the Environment to investigate people's environmental concerns, awareness and behaviour. The previous four surveys were carried out in 1986, 1989, 1993 and 1996-1997. Users should note that the UK Data Archive currently holds the first three surveys in addition to this one (SNs 2684, 2685 and 3329), but not the fourth (conducted in 1996-1997).&lt;br&gt;
The objectives of the research were to:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;establish current attitudes to the environment, and knowledge and behaviour regarding environmental matters;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;allow comparison of current attitudes with those found in previous Department of Environment (DOE)/Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR) studies;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;explore views on a wider range of issues not covered by those previous DOE/DETR studies.&lt;br&gt;

title: OECD Main Economic Indicators, 1955-2021
title: OECD MEI

description: &lt;p&gt;The &lt;i&gt;Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)&lt;/i&gt; produces annual, quarterly and monthly data for main economic indicators (MEI). The variables cover national accounts, industrial production, employment, prices, business trends and trade for the member countries of the OECD and select non-member countries. The dataset also includes the OECD's leading indicators (key variables that signal changes in the business cycle).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The OECD defines each variable separately for each country. Nevertheless, the data are considered sufficiently similar to enable comparisons between countries, especially for relative values and rates of change.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;These data were first provided by the UK Data Service in January 2003.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

title: IMF Direction of Trade Statistics, 1948-2021
title: IMF DOTS

description: The &lt;i&gt;International Monetary Fund (IMF) Direction of Trade Statistics (DOTS)&lt;/i&gt; database contains data on the value of merchandise exports and imports between each country and all its trading partners. Total bilateral and multilateral exports and imports are aggregated at national or regional group level. For each reporting country or group, all the trading partners are listed. The corresponding monetary values of total imports and total exports are then provided as time series for each country/trading partner pair. All exports are valued free on board (f.o.b.). Imports are usually reported cost including insurance and freight (c.i.f.), although a small number of countries report imports f.o.b.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Along with data from reporting countries, estimates are provided by partner countries for non-reporting countries or for those that are slow to report.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The period for which data are available varies from country to country, but data extends from 1948 to the present.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
There can be inconsistencies between exports to a partner and the partner's recorded imports from a particular country, i.e. the exports from Country A to B do not always equal the imports of Country B from A. This is due to the different ways countries report their trade, i.e. differences in classification concepts and detail, time of recording, valuation, and coverage, as well as processing errors. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
This database was first provided by UK Data Service in December 2003.&lt;br&gt;

title: Infant Feeding Survey, 2000
title: Infant Feeding Survey, 1985-
title: IFS

description: The &lt;i&gt;Infant Feeding Survey&lt;/i&gt; (IFS) has been carried out every five years since 1975, in order to establish information about infant feeding practices. Government policy in the United Kingdom has consistently supported breastfeeding as the best way of ensuring a healthy start for infants and of promoting women's health. Current guidance on infant feeding is as follows:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;breastmilk is the best form of nutrition for infants;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for around the first six months (26 weeks) of an infant's life;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;infant formula is the only recommended alternative to breastfeeding for babies who are under 12 months old;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;around six months is the recommended age for the introduction of solid foods for infants, whether breastfed or fed on breastmilk substitutes;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;breastfeeding (and/or breastmilk substitutes) should continue beyond the first six months, along with appropriate types and amounts of solid foods;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;mothers who are unable to, or choose not to, follow these recommendations should be supported to optimise their infants' nutrition.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; Since the IFS began, the content of the survey has evolved to reflect the prevailing government policy agenda, while recognising the importance of maintaining consistency over time to allow comparison and trend analysis. The first IFS in 1975 took place in England and Wales only. From 1980 the survey covered Scotland, while from 1990 Northern Ireland was also included. The 2005 survey was the first to provide separate estimates for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, as well as for the UK as a whole, and to provide estimates of exclusive breast-feeding (where the baby is given only breast milk, no other liquids or solids).&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Further information about the IFS series may be found on the &lt;a href="http://www.hscic.gov.uk" title="Health and Social Care Information Centre"&gt;Health and Social Care Information Centre&lt;/a&gt; website (search for 'Infant Feeding Survey').&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The UK Data Archive holds IFS data from 1985 onwards. A separate survey, &lt;i&gt;Infant Feeding in Asian Families, 1994-1996&lt;/i&gt;, covering England only, is held under SN 3759.&lt;br&gt;

title: Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young People, 2002
title: Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young People, 1988-
title: Smoking among Secondary Schoolchildren; Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young Teenagers

description: &lt;p&gt;The &lt;i&gt;Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young People&lt;/i&gt; surveys began in 1982, under the name Smoking among Secondary Schoolchildren. The series initially aimed to provide national estimates of the proportion of secondary schoolchildren aged 11-15 who smoked, and to describe their smoking behaviour. Similar surveys were carried out every two years until 1998 to monitor trends in the prevalence of cigarette smoking. The survey then moved to an annual cycle, and questions on alcohol consumption and drug use were included. The name of the series changed to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young Teenagers&lt;/span&gt; to reflect this widened focus. In 2000, the series title changed, to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young People. &lt;/span&gt;NHS Digital (formerly the Information Centre for Health and Social Care) took over from the Department of Health as sponsors and publishers of the survey series from 2005. From 2014 onwards, the series changed to a biennial one, with no survey taking place in 2015, 2017 or 2019.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In some years, the surveys have been carried out in Scotland and Wales as well as England, to provide separate national estimates for these countries. In 2002, following a review of Scotland's future information needs in relation to drug misuse among schoolchildren, a separate Scottish series, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Scottish Schools Adolescent Lifestyle and Substance Use Survey&lt;/span&gt; (SALSUS) was established by the Scottish Executive.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; For the second edition of the study, the depositor supplied a new version of the main data file, which includes revised derivations of summary categories of drug use.&lt;br&gt;

title: Regional Economic Performance, Governance and Cohesion in an Enlarged Europe, 1999-2001

description: To discover whether Europe’s regional economies were moving closer together, or whether new geographical differences and inequalities were being created, this research concentrated on developed and less developed parts of four countries: England, Italy, Poland and Slovakia. Data were collected on the performance of regional economies in each country. A plant-level survey of 482 establishments was completed. Also completed were some 165 in-depth interviews with firms and regional development institutions (&lt;i&gt;these are not held at the UK Data Archive, for confidentiality reasons&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; As far as disparities in economic development are concerned, the research confirmed a convergence of living standards between existing European Union (EU) Member States, combined with increasing geographical and social inequalities within them. Economic development gaps between East-Central Europe (ECE) and the EU increased until recently, while within ECE regional and social inequality also increased sharply.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The research showed that the position of different regional economies is partly the result of the position of key regional producers in wider, pan-European and global production and value creating networks. More specifically, it identified a deepening division of labour as plants in different parts of Europe take on different yet complementary roles. In ECE plants specialise in assembly and export-production, while much of the design, styling, marketing and retailing (the knowledge-intensive parts of value chains and production networks) remains focused in the West. Nonetheless plants in ECE which became strongly integrated into pan-European production networks often witnessed quite considerable upgrading and improvement of capacity, technology and labour process. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The research also identified a significant convergence of regional governance and regional development policy mechanisms across Europe, yet with marked differences in the performance of institutions and in the effectiveness of supply-side policy models in regional economies with quite distinct economic, political and cultural characteristics.&lt;br&gt; The project was based at the Centre on European Political Economy, Sussex European Institute, University of Sussex.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Devolution and Constitutional Change, 2001

description: The principal aim was to establish whether initial reactions to the introduction of devolution in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland enhanced or otherwise the legitimacy of (i) the United Kingdom and (ii) the new institutions themselves. In particular, the project aimed to test three competing theories about the possible impact of devolution on public opinion together with an alternative view that sees trends in national identity and in attitudes towards the political system as being primarily determined by social change. The theories are as follows:&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;1. The integrative view&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; - Demands for complete independence should fall&lt;br&gt; - Willingness to acknowledge a British identity should rise&lt;br&gt; - Support for the UK political system should rise&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;2. The disintegrative view&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; - Rise in support for English devolution&lt;br&gt; - Politicians increasingly putting their part of the UK first&lt;br&gt; - More variance between the territories in public policy&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;3. The conditional view&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; - The impact of devolution will differ between the three devolved territories&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;4. Social change&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; - Those who have experienced geographical mobility, higher levels of education and access to the internet are less likely to adopt a British national identity&lt;br&gt; - The decline in British national identity is a generational phenomenon&lt;br&gt; - National identity is influenced by short-term developments and any fall in the incidence of British identity occurs more or less evenly across all age groups/cohorts&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Survey based research on national identity and attitudes towards the political system following the introduction of devolution was conducted in the four component territories of the United Kingdom, and a combined dataset created. The platform surveys were:&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; British Social Attitudes Survey 2001&lt;br&gt; Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey 2001&lt;br&gt; Scottish Social Attitudes Survey 2001&lt;br&gt; Welsh Election Study 2001&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey, 1998-
title: NILT

description: &lt;p&gt;The &lt;em&gt;Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey&lt;/em&gt; (NILT) series began in 1998, and was the successor to the previous Northern Ireland Social Attitudes series, which was discontinued in 1996.&lt;br&gt;The main aims of the NILT series are:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;to monitor public attitudes towards social policy and political issues in Northern Ireland;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;to provide a time series on attitudes to key social policy areas;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;to facilitate academic social policy analysis;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;to provide a freely available resource on public attitudes for the wider community of users in Northern Ireland.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;NILT originally had a companion series which also began in 1998, the &lt;a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000040#!/access-data"&gt;Young Life and Times Survey&lt;/a&gt; (YLT), although the YLT methodology changed in 2003 and it is conducted separately each year. The &lt;a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000040#!/access-data"&gt;Kids' Life and Times&lt;/a&gt; (KLT) survey of P7 children (10-11 year olds) is also part of the same suite of surveys as YLT and NILT.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;NILT also forms part of the &lt;a title="International Social Survey Programme" href="http://www.issp.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;International Social Survey Programme&lt;/a&gt; (ISSP), although it does not do so every year. Unfortunately, NILT did not run in 2011 due to funding issues, though YLT ran as normal that year; NILT resumed in 2012 (SN 7408). In addition, several &lt;a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000040#!/access-data"&gt;open access teaching datasets&lt;/a&gt; were created by ARK (Access Research Knowledge) from various years of NILT, covering different topics such as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) issues, politics and community relations, attitudes to ageing and ageism, and dementia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;



&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Further information about the series may be found on the ARK &lt;a title="NILT" href="http://www.ark.ac.uk/nilt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;NILT&lt;/a&gt; webpage.&lt;/p&gt;

The database contains time series for over 200 countries and geographical areas. It reports, for most countries, time series data on exchange rates, balance of payments, international liquidity, money and banking, interest rates, prices, production, international transactions, government accounts, national accounts and population.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Selected data, including data on Fund accounts, international reserves and international trade, are also aggregated into regional and world tables.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Data is reported in a mixture of indexes, national currencies, US Dollars and SDRs (the basket currency the IMF uses as a unit of account)&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
This database was first provided by the UK Data Service in December 2003.&lt;br&gt;

title: Employers Skills Survey, 1999-

description: The Employers Skills Surveys are undertaken to identify the extent, causes and implications of skill deficiencies reported by employers in England. The series addresses a number of key questions:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What are the skill needs of employers?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What is the scale of, and the contribution of a lack of skills to external recruitment difficulties facing employers?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How do these problems vary by occupation, establishment size, industrial sector, and region?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What evidence is there about the existence of internal skill gaps within the employed workforce?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What are the perceptions of employers about the causes and consequences of such (internal and external) skill deficiencies?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br&gt;
 &lt;i&gt;Secure Access version:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Users should note that there is a Secure Access version of the data available under SN 6705. The Secure Access version includes more detailed geographic variables such as Postcodes, Unitary Authorities; Local Education Authorities; Local Learning and Skills Council Areas and Travel to Work Areas. The excluded variables, which are covered in the user guide, are also available under Secure Access. The 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.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
