Skills and Employment Surveys Series Dataset, 1986, 1992, 1997, 2001, 2006, 2012 and 2017

<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><p>The <em>Skills Survey</em> is a series of nationally representative sample surveys of individuals in employment aged 20-60 years old (since 2006, the surveys have additionally sampled those aged 61-65). The surveys aim to investigate the employed workforce in Great Britain. Although they were not originally planned as part of a series and had different funding sources and objectives, continuity in questionnaire design has meant the surveys now provide a unique, national representative picture of change in British workplaces as reported by individual job holders. This allows analysts to examine how various aspects of job quality and skill levels have changed over 30 years.The first surveys in the series were carried out in 1986 and 1992. These surveys also form part of this integrated data series, and are known as the Social Change and Economic Life Initiative (SCELI) and Employment in Britain (EIB) studies respectively.</p><p>The 1997 survey was the first to collect primarily data on skills using the job requirements approach. This focused on collecting data on objective indicators of job skill as reported by respondents. The 2001 survey assessed how much had changed between the two surveys and a third survey in 2006 enhanced the time series data, while providing a resource for analysing skill and job requirements in the British economy at that time. The 2012 survey aimed to again add to the time series data and, coinciding as it did with a period of economic recession, to provide insight into whether workers in Britain felt under additional pressure/demand from employers as a result of redundancies and cut backs. In addition, a series dataset, covering 1986, 1992, 1997, 2001, 2006 and 2012 is also available . A follow-up to the 2012 survey was conducted in 2014, revisiting respondents who had agreed to be interviewed again. The 2017 survey was the seventh in the series, designed to examine to what extent pressures had continued as a result of austerity and economic uncertainties triggered, for example, by Brexit as well as examining additional issues such as productivity, fairness at work and the retirement intentions of older workers.</p><p>Each survey comprises a large number of respondents: 4,047 in the 1986 survey; 3,855 in 1992; 2,467 in 1997; 4,470 in 2001; 7,787 in 2006; 3,200 in 2012; and 3,306 in 2017.</p><br><p>The Skills and Employment Surveys Series Dataset, 1986, 1992, 1997, 2001, 2006, 2012 and 2017&nbsp;combines data from all seven surveys in the series, where common survey questions were asked. For each survey, weights are computed to take into account the differential probabilities of sample selection, the over-sampling of certain areas and some small response rate variations between groups (defined by sex, age and occupation). All surveys cover Great Britain except the Skills Survey, 2006 which covers the United Kingdom. <br> <br> The surveys are all available separately from the UK Data Archive:</p>

<P><em>技能调查（Skills Survey）</em>是一系列具有全国代表性的抽样调查，调研对象为英国境内20-60岁的在职个体（2006年起新增抽样61-65岁人群），旨在探究大不列颠地区的就业劳动力群体。尽管该系列最初并非按固定周期设计，各轮次的资金来源与调查目标均存在差异，但问卷设计的延续性使其如今可提供独特的、全国代表性的英国职场变迁图景，数据均由在职员工自述。借此，分析师可探究30余年来工作质量与技能水平各维度的变化趋势。
系列首轮调查分别于1986年和1992年开展，二者分别为<b>社会变革与经济生活倡议（Social Change and Economic Life Initiative, SCELI）</b>与<b>英国就业状况（Employment in Britain, EIB）</b>研究，均纳入本整合数据系列。</P>
<P>1997年的调查首次主要采用工作要求法采集技能相关数据，聚焦收集受访者自述的工作技能客观指标。2001年的调查用于评估两轮调查间的变化幅度；2006年的第三轮调查进一步完善了时间序列数据，同时为彼时英国经济中的技能与工作要求分析提供了支撑资源。2012年的调查旨在扩充时间序列数据样本，且恰逢经济衰退周期，由此可探究英国劳动者是否因裁员与开支缩减而感受到来自雇主的额外压力与需求。此外，涵盖1986、1992、1997、2001、2006及2012年的系列数据集亦已发布。2012年调查的追踪研究于2014年开展，回访了同意再次参与访谈的受访者。2017年的调查为该系列的第七轮，旨在探究财政紧缩政策及脱欧等事件引发的经济不确定性所带来的职场压力是否持续，同时还调研了生产率、职场公平及老年员工退休意愿等额外议题。</P>
<P>各轮调查均包含大量有效样本：1986年调查为4047份，1992年为3855份，1997年为2467份，2001年为4470份，2006年为7787份，2012年为3200份，2017年为3306份。</P>

<P><b>1986、1992、1997、2001、2006及2017年技能与就业调查系列数据集</b>整合了该系列所有七轮调查中共同设置的问卷问题对应的数据。针对每轮调查，均计算了抽样权重，以平衡抽样选择概率差异、特定区域的过度抽样，以及按性别、年龄与职业划分的不同群体间的小幅应答率差异。所有调查均覆盖大不列颠地区，仅2006年技能调查覆盖全英国。
