British Household Panel Survey: Waves 1-18, 1991-2009: Special Licence Access

<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><br><p>The British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) ran for 18 waves, from 1991-2009, and was conducted by the ESRC UK Longitudinal Studies Centre (ULSC), together with the <a href="https://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/" title="Institute for Social and Economic Research">Institute for Social and Economic Research</a> (ISER) at the University of Essex. The ULSC, established in 1999, was a continuation of the research resource component of the ESRC Research Centre on Micro-Social Change (MISOC), established in 1989. In addition to running panel studies, ISER undertakes a programme of research based on panel data, using <a href="https://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/understanding-society" title="Understanding Society">Understanding Society</a>, the BHPS and other national panels to monitor and measure social change. <br>
<br>
The main objective of the BHPS was to further understanding of social and economic change at the individual and household level in Britain, and to identify, model and forecast such changes and their causes and consequences in relation to a range of socio-economic variables. It was designed as an annual survey of each adult member (aged 16 years and over) of a nationally representative sample of more than 5,000 households, making a total of approximately 10,000 individual interviews. The same individuals were re-interviewed in successive waves and, if they left their original households, all adult members of their new households were also interviewed. Children were interviewed once they reach the age of 16; there was also a special survey of household members aged 11-15 included in the BHPS from Wave 4 onwards (the British Youth Panel, or BYP). From Wave 9, two additional samples were added to the BHPS in Scotland and Wales, and at Wave 11 an additional sample from Northern Ireland (which formed the Northern Ireland Household Panel Study or NIHPS), was added to increase the sample to cover the whole of the United Kingdom. For Waves 7-11, the BHPS also provided data for the European Community Household Panel (ECHP). For details of sampling, methodology and changes to the survey over time, see Volume A of the documentation (Introduction, Technical Report and Appendices). <br>

A less detailed version of the dataset is available under End User Licence (see SN 5151). Users should check the EUL version first to see whether it contains the data they need, before making an application for the Special Licence version. Information on the variables included in the Special Licence version may be found in the documentation - see the file '8380_eul_vs_sl_variable_differences'.<br>
</p><br><B>Main Topics</B>:<BR><br>The questionnaire package consists of the following elements:<ul><li>a household coversheet</li><li>a household composition form comprising a complete listing of all household members, together with some brief summary data of their gender, date of birth, marital and employment status and their relationship to the household reference person</li><li>a short household questionnaire containing questions about the accommodation and tenure and some household-level measures of consumption</li><li> an individual schedule asked of every adult member of the household (aged 16 or over), covering: neighbourhood; individual demographics; residential mobility; health and caring; current employment and earnings; employment changes over the past year; lifetime childbirth, marital and relationship history (Wave 2 for the main sample, supplemented for new entrants from Wave 8 onwards); employment status history (Wave 2 only); values and opinions; household finances and organisation</li><li>a self-completion questionnaire including subjective or attitudinal questions particularly vulnerable to the influence of other people's presence during completion, or potentially sensitive questions requiring additional privacy. It also contains attitudinal items and questions on social support</li><li>a proxy schedule: the questionnaire is a much shortened version of the individual questionnaire, collecting some demographic, health, and employment details, as well as a summary income measure</li><li>a telephone questionnaire, developed from the proxy schedule, for use when all other efforts to achieve a face-to-face interview have failed</li><li>from Wave 4 to Wave 11, the youth questionnaire (aged 11-16 years) was administered using a 'Walkman' personal cassette tape player and a blank self-completion answer grid, as some of the questions cover sensitive issues. From Wave 12 onwards, a normal self-completion script has been used</li></ul>

<br>
<p>英国家庭面板调查（British Household Panel Survey, BHPS）于1991年至2009年间开展，共计18轮调查，由经济和社会研究理事会（Economic and Social Research Council, ESRC）英国纵向研究中心（UK Longitudinal Studies Centre, ULSC）联合埃塞克斯大学社会与经济研究所（Institute for Social and Economic Research, ISER）实施。ULSC成立于1999年，其前身为1989年成立的ESRC微观社会变化研究中心（ESRC Research Centre on Micro-Social Change, MISOC）的研究资源板块。除开展面板研究外，ISER还依托面板数据开展研究项目，通过<a href="https://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/understanding-society" title="Understanding Society">Understanding Society</a>、BHPS及其他国家级面板调查监测并衡量社会变迁。<br>
<br>
BHPS的核心研究目标是深化对英国个体与家庭层面社会经济变迁的认知，并针对一系列社会经济变量，对这类变迁及其成因与后果开展识别、建模与预测工作。该调查为年度追踪调查，抽样覆盖全国代表性的5000余户家庭，共对约1万名年满16岁的成年家庭成员开展访谈。每一轮调查均对同一批受访者进行追踪回访；若受访者离开原家庭，其新家庭中的所有成年成员也会被纳入访谈范围。儿童年满16岁后将接受个人访谈；自第4轮调查起，BHPS还增设了针对11至15岁家庭成员的专项调查——英国青年面板调查（British Youth Panel, BYP）。自第9轮起，BHPS新增苏格兰与威尔士样本；第11轮新增北爱尔兰样本（即北英国家庭面板调查，Northern Ireland Household Panel Study, NIHPS），至此样本覆盖全英国。第7至11轮调查中，BHPS还为欧洲共同体家庭面板调查（European Community Household Panel, ECHP）提供数据支持。有关抽样方法、调查流程及历次调整的细节，请参阅文档卷A（简介、技术报告及附录）。<br>
