title: Welfare at a (Social) Distance, 2020-2021: Waves 1-2
title: W/SD

description: &lt;p&gt;Welfare at a (Social) Distance is a major research project looking at the UK benefits system during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is funded by the &lt;a href="https://esrc.ukri.org/"&gt;Economic and Social Research Council&lt;/a&gt; as part of &lt;a href="https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=ES%2FV003879%2F1"&gt;UK Research and Innovation's rapid response to COVID-19&lt;/a&gt;. Further information can be found on the &lt;a title="Welfare at a (Social) Distance" href="https://hub.salford.ac.uk/welfare-at-a-social-distance/"&gt; Welfare at a (Social) Distance&lt;/a&gt; project website.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The benefits system is crucial to supporting people during, and after, the COVID-19 crisis. With a growing number of new claimants, it faces two challenges. Firstly, to ensure people quickly get the money they need. Secondly, to make sure that people are helped to quickly return to work or supported further if unable to work.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In this project, we provide vital information on how we are meeting these challenges and, where the system is struggling.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The project includes several components (please note, not all are yet available from the UK Data Service, as marked):&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ol&gt; &lt;li&gt;Three waves of YouGov surveys of new and existing benefit claimants (wave 1 n=8k, wave 2 with refreshment sample n=6.5k) (Wave 1 and Wave 2 are currently included here); &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A survey of NON-claimants in July-Aug 2020 (n=2.8k), from a smaller related project funded by the Health Foundation - this includes those who tried and failed to claim, are in need but ineligible, or who may be eligible but decided not to claim.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Three waves of YouGov surveys of the general population about their attitudes to benefits (wave 1 n=1.6k, wave 2 n=3.4k); &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Two waves of qualitative interviews (via phone/Zoom) with new and existing claimants (w1 n=80) (not yet available); &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Qualitative interviews (via phone/Zoom) with organisations that provide support to benefit claimants, in four case study areas - Salford, Leeds, Newham (London), and Thanet (East Kent) (n=48) (not yet available). &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Latest edition information&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the second edition (April 2022), a new version of  Wave 1  claimant survey data updated. Both Wave 1 and Wave 2 of the general public survey have been added to the study, as well as two non claimant survey data . New documentations are added and previous user guide and questionnaire document are also updated.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

title: MBS Construction

description: &lt;p&gt;The &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Monthly Business Survey for Construction and Allied Trades&lt;/span&gt; (MBS) collects information about the value of work undertaken by Great British businesses on new housing, new infrastructure, other new construction projects, and repair and maintenance during the month. Information about employment is also collected quarterly. The information is used to monitor the performance of the industry and contributes to gross domestic product (GDP).&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The purpose of the survey is to obtain information about the construction industry and allied trades (e.g. plumbers and electricians), and to provide a comprehensive review of economic activity. The information provided is essential as the construction industry and allied trades forms a large part of the country's industrial production and capital investment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Businesses of all sizes are surveyed to ensure statistics are representative of the UK economy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The study available from the UK Data Archive under SN 8807 includes both monthly and annual data files.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Linking to other business studies&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;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.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Latest edition information&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;For the second edition (April 2022), annual data and documentation for 2020 have been added to the study.&lt;/p&gt;

title: Kankai ibun, vol. 7, 1807

description: Kankai ibun, [1807], volume 7 = Description and travel of circumnavigation of seas, [1807], volume 7 = 環海 異聞 七 文化 4. Volume seven of a manuscript by Gentaku Ōtsuki and Kōkyō Shimura who drew from four Japanese fishermen the story of their voyage around the world during repeated interviews. The Kankai Ibun is an account of their journey when they were sent off-course en route to the capital, Edo. The fishermen were rescued by a Russian ship and taken to late 18th / early 19th century Europe and, most especially, Russia.; The cargo ship, Wakamiyamaru, left from the port of Ishimaki in Sendai-han, today’s Miyagi Prefecture, in Japan carrying rice and lumber with 16 crew members for Edo, today’s Tokyo, on November 27th, 1793. Shipwrecked and drifted in the Pacific Ocean for half a year, they finally landed in one of the islands of the Andreanof Islands, a part of the Aleutian Islands on May 10th, 1794. They were transferred to Irkutsk by Russians where they stayed until the spring of 1803. They were then called in by Alexander I of Russia to St. Petersburg where they stayed from April to June in 1803, and from where they started their journey back home. They were included in the Rezanov mission on the first Russian global circumnavigation by a ship Nadezhda. It took them 16 months to reach the port of Nagasaki, Japan in September, 1804 since they left in June, 1803. Of the sixteen, five crewmen got on board. Four returned home in Sendai; one, who had become an interpreter, returned to Russia with Rezanov.

title: Prices Survey Microdata, 1996-2022: Secure Access

description: The &lt;i&gt;Prices Survey Microdata&lt;/i&gt; include the underlying price data used by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to produce the Consumer Prices Index (CPI), the Retail Prices Index (RPI) and associated price indices. The CPI has become the main domestic measure of inflation for macroeconomic purposes in the UK. Since December 2003 it has been used for the inflation target that the Bank of England is required to achieve. The RPI is the most long-standing measure of inflation in the UK, and its uses have included the indexation of pensions, state benefits and index-linked gilts. The study also includes the data underlying the Producer Prices Index.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; There are four levels of sampling for local price collection: locations/shopping areas; outlets/shops within locations; representative items/goods and services; and products and varieties (price quotes).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; There are two basic price collection methods: local and central. Local collection is used for most items; prices are obtained from outlets in about 150 locations around the country. Some 110,000 quotations are obtained by this method. Normally, collectors must visit the outlet, but prices for some items may be collected by telephone. Central collection is used for items where all the prices can be collected centrally by the ONS with no field work. These prices can be further sub-divided into two categories, depending on their subsequent use: 1) central shops, where the prices are combined with prices obtained locally, and 2) central items, where the prices are used on their own to construct centrally calculated indices. There are about 130 items for which the prices are collected centrally.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The retail price data include the locations containing the shopping outlets from which the price quotes were obtained. These locations are intended to be broadly representative of a central shopping area and the areas where the local shopping population tend to live. The data also include the regions in which those shopping areas are located.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;Linking to other business studies&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; The producer prices 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.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Latest edition information&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;For the 21st edition (April 2022), Item Indices monthly data files have been added for December 2021 and January and February 2022, and Price Quotes monthly data files have been added for December 2021 and January 2022.&lt;br&gt;

title: Farm Business Survey, 1982- : Special Licence Access
title: FBS

description: The &lt;i&gt;Farm Business Survey&lt;/i&gt; (FBS) is conducted annually to collect business information from c.2,400 farms in England and Wales. The FBS provides information on the financial position and physical and economic performance of farm businesses, to inform policy decisions on matters affecting farm businesses and to enable analysis of impacts of policy options. It is intended to serve the needs of farmers, farming and land management interest groups, government (both national and European), government partners, and researchers. The primary objective of survey results is to contrast the performance or other business characteristics of different groupings of farm, such as between regions or other geographical or environmental designations, farm types, farm size, age or education of farmer etc.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Up to and including the 2001/02 survey, FBS estimates were based on matching of the sample between two adjacent years. Farm weights were still calculated to present a matched sample however. From the 2002/03 survey onwards, matching between adjacent years was dropped altogether, and weights are now calculated for the full sample.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The typology used to determine the FBS farm type classification was revised for 2009 onwards. The FBS typology is now based on standard outputs expressed in euros, with a minimum threshold of 25,000 euro (irrespective of the SLR) for FBS eligibility. Between 2009 and 2011, FBS farm type classification has been based on 2007 standard output (SO) coefficients. From 2012 to 2016, FBS farm type classification was based on 2010 SO coefficients, and from 2017 the FBS farm type classifications are based on 2013 SO coefficients. The change in typology has had an effect on the distribution of farms by farm type and income averages. Further information regarding the change in typology is available from the 'FBS Documents' section on the gov.uk &lt;a href="https://www.gov.uk/farm-business-survey-technical-notes-and-guidance" title="Farm Business Survey – technical notes and guidance"&gt;Farm Business Survey – technical notes and guidance&lt;/a&gt; webpage.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The &lt;i&gt;Farm Business Survey&lt;/i&gt; is available under Special Licence access conditions. For further details on how to apply for access to the data, see the Access section below.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;The 2019/20 and 2020/21 FBS survey samples are slightly smaller than normal, as Covid-19 restrictions impacted data collection.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For the second edition (December 2022) data for sections F3, K, N and R have been added to the study, and the documentation has been updated.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

title: VS

description: &lt;p&gt;The &lt;i&gt;Vacancy Survey&lt;/i&gt; (VS) is a statutory, monthly survey of businesses in Great Britain, which asks the single question, how many job vacancies did a business have in total on a specified date for which they were actively seeking recruits from outside their organisation. Vacancy statistics provide important information about the demand for labour, and give an early indication of what is happening in the labour market. They are used for monitoring and policy-making purposes by UK government departments and Eurostat.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Questionnaires are sent to a sample of approximately 6,000 businesses on the Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR) every month, approached mainly via head offices rather than by local offices. The IDBR is a live register of data on businesses collected by HM Revenue and Customs via VAT and Pay As You Earn (PAYE) records. Businesses return their &lt;i&gt;Vacancy Survey&lt;/i&gt; data to the Office for National Statistics using key presses on a telephone rather than returning a paper questionnaire. A small number of businesses have elected to receive a paper questionnaire which is returned in the pre-paid envelope provided.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The survey covers all sectors of the economy, with the exception of employment agencies and agriculture, forestry and fishing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Linking to other business studies&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;These data contain 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.

The scope of the survey has been expanded to explore other economic-related issues such as the European Union transition period (Brexit).  The survey captures businesses responses on how their turnover, workforce, prices, trade and business resilience have been affected in the two week reference period.&lt;br class="Apple-interchange-newline"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The data should be treated with caution as results reflect the characteristics of those who responded and not necessarily the wider business population. Comparison of the proportions of businesses' trading status between waves should be treated with caution because of the voluntary nature of the survey, the difference in response rates and dependency on those businesses that only responded in particular waves. These data should not be used in place of official statistics. The survey was designed to give an indication of the impact of the coronavirus on businesses and a timelier estimate than other surveys. The latest publications from the survey can be found on the ONS &lt;a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/businessindustryandtrade/business/businessservices" target="_blank"&gt;Business Services&lt;/a&gt; webpage. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Linking to other business studies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;These data contain IDBR reference numbers.

description: &lt;div&gt;The&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; Short-Term Employment Surveys&lt;/span&gt; (STES) are three statutory, quarterly surveys of private sector businesses. The surveys ask businesses for their number of employees (male/female/full-time/part-time) on a specified date (the second or third Friday of March, June, September or December). Online questionnaires are sent to a sample of approximately 37,000 businesses each quarter. The combined surveys cover all sectors of the private sector economy and all industries in England, Scotland and Wales (Great Britain) with the exception of 'agriculture, forestry and fishing' and 'private households'. Northern Ireland businesses are not approached via STES.
