title: Taking Part Year 14

description: &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="x_SubHead"&gt;&lt;span&gt;For Taking Part, 2018-2019, also known as Year 14 of the continuous survey, 8,161 adults and 645 children aged 11-15 were interviewed. Information was also collected from parents or guardians of 999 children aged 5-10. Interviews were conducted face-to-face in-home by specially trained interviewers working on behalf of NatCen and Ipsos MORI using Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="x_SubHead"&gt;&lt;span&gt;In order to preserve confidentiality, variables relating to the census output area, postcode sector, local authority, and primary sampling units have been removed from the UK Data Archive End User Licence version. A Special Licence version that contains more detailed data, including some of the variables listed above and detailed geographical variables (ACORN Group and ONS Urban-Rural Classification), is available under SN 8630.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="x_SubHead"&gt;The study currently includes only the annual adult and child datasets.&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; The Taking Part survey collects data on many aspects of leisure, culture and sport in England, as well as an in-depth range of socio-demographic information on respondents. The survey is commissioned by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) in partnership with three of its non-departmental public bodies (Sport England, Arts Council England and English Heritage). The survey was first commissioned in 2005 as a face-to-face household survey of adults (16+) in England. Since then it has run annually and has also been developed to include further elements, including a child element and a longitudinal element.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information can be found on the Gov.uk &lt;a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/taking-part" title="Taking Part" target="_blank"&gt;Taking Part&lt;/a&gt; web pages.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&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: E-commerce Survey, 2001-2018: Secure Access
title: Ecommerce Survey

description: The &lt;i&gt;E-commerce Survey&lt;/i&gt; is an annual survey designed to measure the extent of the use of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) and electronic trading by businesses in the UK. It is the only survey that measures ICT activity and e-commerce within UK businesses, including foreign-owned businesses.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The survey has been subject to a number of revisions each year, and the 2001 survey is classed as 'experimental', is of low quality, and was subject to significant revisions. Subtle changes in the survey questions can make any comparison between survey years difficult, and so researchers are advised to double-check all questions.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The sample is selected from the Inter-Departmental Business Register. Businesses with more than 1,000 employees are sent the questionnaire every year, whilst those with less than 1,000 employees are randomly sampled and do not therefore necessarily receive the questionnaire every year. The sample allocation uses an algorithm and optimises the sample on key variables that have remained the same since 2003. The survey does not include businesses with between 1 and 9 employees for certain years, e.g. 2005.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The survey samples businesses in the UK from all Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes, except for:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Agriculture, Hunting and Forestry (Section A)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fishing (Section B)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Mining and Quarrying (Section C)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Public Administration and Defence; Compulsory Social Security (Section L)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Education (Section M).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;The survey has collected information on a consistent basis from SICs since 2000, with only minor adaptations in certain SICs. The survey refers to the year from 1 January to 31 December.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; There are separate &lt;i&gt;E-commerce Survey&lt;/i&gt; questionnaires for the financial and non-financial sectors. Non-financial sectors are excluded from estimates relating to the proportions of businesses buying and selling electronically, and the values of their sales and purchases.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;Linking to other business studies&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; These data contain Inter-Departmental Business Register 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; For the tenth edition (May 2020), the 2010 to 2017 data files have been revised and the 2018 provisional data file has been added.  The variable catalogue has also been updated. &lt;br&gt;

description: &lt;p&gt;The &lt;em&gt;Understanding Society: Marital and Cohabitation Histories, 1991-2018&lt;/em&gt; contains information about the start and end dates of all partnerships, i.e., marriages, civil partnerships, cohabitations (living together as a couple) as reported by adult respondents in all Understanding Society (UKHLS) and British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) samples. This has been created from the following data: (i) Understanding Society: Waves 1-9, 2009-2018 and Harmonised BHPS: Waves 1-18, 1991-2009 (SN 6614) and (ii) British Household Panel Survey Consolidated Marital, Cohabitation and Fertility Histories, 1991-2009 (SN 5629). See SN 6614 for full details of the Understanding Society main study.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;For the second edition (May 2020), an updated data file and user guide have been deposited,  which build on the first edition data by adding in partnership histories for the IEMB sample and updating partnership histories for the remaining samples (GPS, BHPS, EMBS) using data collected in Waves 7-9. Additional cleaning and consistency checks were also conducted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Understanding Society (UK Household Longitudinal Study), which began in 2009, is conducted by the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) at the University of Essex and the survey research organisations Kantar Public and NatCen. It builds on and incorporates, the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), which began in 1991.&lt;/p&gt;

title: Pensioners' Incomes Series, 2008/09 -
title: PI

description: &lt;p&gt;The Pensioners' Incomes (PI) Series contains estimates of the levels, sources and distribution of pensioners' incomes. It also examines the position of single pensioners and pensioner couples,including any dependent children, within the income distribution of the population as a whole. This differs from Households Below Average Income (HBAI) (see SN 5828), where analysis is on a household basis and includes income of adults not in the pensioner unit but living in the same household.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The PI series is a key source of information is used to inform Government thinking on relevant policies, as well as related programmes and projects. Researchers and analysts outside government use the statistics and data to examine topics such as ageing, distributional impacts of fiscal policies and the income profiles of pensioner groups. The PI estimates (as well as HBAI) are based on a sample of around 7,000 pensioners in private households in the United Kingdom, taken from the &lt;a title="Family Resources Survey" href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=200017"&gt; Family Resources Survey&lt;/a&gt; (FRS). &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Annual reports and accompanying tables, research and technical papers for PI are available on the gov.uk &lt;a title="Pensioners' Incomes Series Statistics" href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/pensioners-incomes-series-statistics--3"&gt; Pensioners' Incomes Series Statistics&lt;/a&gt; webpage.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The UK Data Service currently holds the PI series from 2008/09 onwards (2007/08 for the restricted-access Safe Room version - see SN 7196). Previously, PI data files were held within the annual FRS studies, but were moved to this study (SN 8503) covering the PI series, in August 2019.  PI data are also available from 1994/95 onwards via the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) &lt;a href="https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/webapi/jsf/login.xhtml" rel="external"&gt;Stat-Xplore online tool&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

title: Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprise Finance Monitor, 2011-2019
title: SME Finance Monitor

description: &lt;p&gt;This survey is commissioned by the Business Finance Taskforce to provide an independent and authoritative report into the key issues of SME Finance. 4,500 telephone interviews are conducted per quarter, across the UK (was 5,000 prior to 2016), to a carefully structured sample of SMEs by size, sector and region.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The survey explores demand for external funding amongst SMEs and the response to requests for funding made to banks in the last 12 months. It also asks for future finance needs and assesses business confidence, growth, and barriers to growth for the future, as well as the impact of a lending experience on the overall banking relationship. As well as identifying the proportion of SMEs that have approached a lender for external finance, the survey identified those who would have liked to apply, but haven't, the barriers to such an application, and the impact of the decision not to seek funding on business performance. A wide range of business demographics are collected to allow for sub-group analysis by criteria such as age of business, external risk rating, type of facility requested, and the 'formality' of the business (planning, HR policies, importing, exporting etc).The intention is for this to become the definitive data set on this topic for banks, government, business organisations and other interested parties, including academics. It is hoped it will be used to provide answers, to obviate the need for similar quantitative research, and to provide the starting point for spin off projects into specific aspects of SME Finance. Further information may be found on the &lt;a title="BVA BDRC SME Finance Monitor" href="http://www.sme-finance-monitor.co.uk"&gt;BVA BDRC SME Finance Monitor&lt;/a&gt; website.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Each data file includes all data collected for the last 10 waves, whilst the reports focus on data gathered from the last 4 quarters. The report is released twice per year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Latest Edition Information&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="x_MsoBodyText"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the 20th edition (May 2020) additional data and documentation were deposited to extend the coverage to Quarter 4, 2019.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Monthly Wages and Salaries Survey, 2000-2019: Secure Access
title: MWSS

description: &lt;p&gt;The &lt;i&gt;Monthly Wages and Salaries Survey&lt;/i&gt; (MWSS) is the main source of information for three key indicators of Short-Term Earnings generated by the Office for National Statistics: the Average Earnings Index, the Average Weekly Earnings and the Index of Labour Costs per Hour.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The MWSS is distributed monthly to approximately 8,800 businesses and covers around 12.8 million employees. Companies are required to respond under the Statistics of Trade Act 1947. Businesses are selected from the Inter-Departmental Business Register. Every company with more than 1,000 employees is surveyed. Sampling is random for businesses with fewer than 1,000 employees. The MWSS does not cover businesses with fewer than 20 employees, and so the very smallest businesses in the economy are not represented. The self-employed and government-supported trainees are also not surveyed.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The major strength of the MWSS is that it provides comprehensive information on earnings, by industry. In terms of industrial coverage, information on all industries is collected, as defined by the Standard Industrial Classifications (1992). Information on both the public and private sectors is available.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;Linking to other business studies&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;These data contain Inter-Departmental Business Register reference numbers.

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: Parish Register Aggregate Analysis 1538-1839 Restructured: Baptisms, Burials and Marriages from 404 English Parishes
title: 404 Parish Register Aggregate Analysis 1541-1871

description: &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;This &lt;/span&gt;collection &lt;span&gt;represents the data used to reconstruct the pre-Census population history of England by Wrigley and Schofield, in restructured form. It consists of counts of parish register events from 404 English sample parishes. These data were originally used to estimate national totals of births, deaths and marriages. From these population growth rates were derived and hence the overall English population in each year between 1539 and 1836, but these data are also relevant for local studies of particular parishes or regions, and for studies of mortality variations and crises, which was the purpose for which this restructuring was undertaken. This data collection contains tab-delimited text files of monthly and annual historical counts of baptisms, marriages and burials from parish registers in 404 English parishes, with missing data interpolated, for varying coverage periods in each parish, including a core period of 1662 to 1811.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Volunteer local historians counted events from accessible parish registers with apparently good coverage, from a list distributed by Tony Wrigley at CAMPOP. Counts were recorded on paper pro formas. These were digitised many years ago by CAMPOP into the Population History of England database. Quality checking of count accuracy per volunteer was performed by Roger Schofield and inaccurate contributions discarded. In their current restructured form these files were derived by Gill Newton at CAMPOP from the Population History of England database.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
