Skills and Employment Surveys Series Dataset, 1986, 1992, 1997, 2001, 2006, 2012 and 2017: Special Licence Access

<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: Special Licence Access 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 six surveys are all available separately from the UK Data Archive:</p>

**技能调查（Skills Survey）**是一系列具有全国代表性的抽样调查，调查对象为英国境内20-60岁的在职个体（2006年起，调查额外覆盖61-65岁人群），旨在探究大不列颠的在职劳动力群体。尽管最初并非按系列规划设计，且各次调查的资金来源与研究目标均存在差异，但问卷设计的延续性使得该系列调查如今能够依托在职从业者的自述，呈现英国职场变化的独特全国代表性图景。这一数据资源可支持分析人员探究30余年来职场工作质量与技能水平等多个维度的变迁历程。该系列的首批调查于1986年与1992年开展，分别为《社会变革与经济生活倡议（Social Change and Economic Life Initiative, SCELI）》与《英国就业状况（Employment in Britain, EIB）》研究，二者亦纳入本整合数据集。

1997年的调查首次主要采用岗位需求法采集技能相关数据，聚焦收集受访者自述的岗位技能客观指标。2001年的调查用于评估两次调查间的变化幅度；2006年的第三轮调查则丰富了时间序列数据，同时为彼时英国经济中的技能与岗位需求分析提供了支撑。2012年的调查旨在进一步扩充时间序列数据，且恰逢英国经济衰退时期，该调查可用于洞察英国劳动者是否因裁员与开支缩减面临雇主施加的额外压力与需求。此外，涵盖1986、1992、1997、2001、2006及2012年的系列数据集亦已对外发布。2012年调查的追踪调查于2014年开展，对同意再次接受访谈的受访者进行了回访。2017年的调查为该系列的第七轮，旨在探究财政紧缩与英国脱欧等事件引发的经济不确定性所持续带来的压力程度，同时还调研了生产率、职场公平性以及老年劳动者退休意愿等额外议题。

各轮调查的受访者规模如下：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。

《1986、1992、1997、2001、2006、2012及2017年技能与就业调查系列数据集：特殊许可访问版》整合了该系列中所有设置了通用问卷题目的七轮调查数据。针对每一轮调查，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不同分组（按性别、年龄与职业划分）间的小幅应答率差异。除2006年技能调查覆盖全英国（United Kingdom）外，其余所有调查均仅涵盖大不列颠地区。

该六项调查均可从英国数据档案馆（UK Data Archive）单独获取：
- 1986-1987年社会变革与经济生活倡议调查（编号SN 2798）
- 1992年英国就业状况调查（编号SN 5368）

本特殊许可访问版数据集相较于公开发布版数据集（编号SN 8589），包含更细致的地理变量（尤其是通勤区域（Travel to Work Area, TTWA））。

另有一套涵盖1986、1992、1997、2001、2006及2012年的早期技能与就业调查系列数据集，可通过编号SN 7467获取，详情可访问：https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/studies/study?id=7467。
