General Household Survey: Time Series Dataset, 1972-2004

<p>The <i>General Household Survey</i> (GHS), ran from 1971-2011 (the UKDS holds data from 1972-2011). It was a continuous annual national survey of people living in private households, conducted by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The main aim of the survey was to collect data on a range of core topics, covering household, family and individual information. This information was used by government departments and other organisations for planning, policy and monitoring purposes, and to present a picture of households, families and people in Great Britain. In 2008, the GHS became a module of the <a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000024">Integrated Household Survey</a> (IHS). In recognition, the survey was renamed the <a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=200019">General Lifestyle Survey</a> (GLF). The GLF closed in January 2012. The 2011 GLF is therefore the last in the series. A limited number of questions previously run on the GLF were subsequently included in the <a href="http://discover.ukdataservice.ac.uk/series/?sn=2000043" title="Opinions and Lifestyle Survey">Opinions and Lifestyle Survey</a> (OPN). <br>

<i>Secure Access GHS/GLF</i><br>
The UKDS holds standard access End User Licence (EUL) data for 1972-2006. A Secure Access version is available, covering the years 2000-2011 - see SN 6716 <i>General Lifestyle Survey, 2000-2011: Secure Access</i>.<br>
<br>
<i>History</i><br>
The GHS was conducted annually until 2011, except for breaks in 1997-1998 when the survey was reviewed, and 1999-2000 when the survey was redeveloped.  Further information may be found in the ONS document <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/personalandhouseholdfinances/incomeandwealth/compendium/generallifestylesurvey/2013-03-07/40yearsofdatacollection/pdf">An overview of 40 years of data (General Lifestyle Survey Overview - a report on the 2011 General Lifestyle Survey)</a> (PDF). Details of changes each year may be found in the individual study documentation.<br>
<br>
<i>EU-SILC</i><br>
In 2005, the European Union (EU) made a legal obligation (EU-SILC) for member states to collect additional statistics on income and living conditions. In addition, the EU-SILC data cover poverty and social exclusion. These statistics are used to help plan and monitor European social policy by comparing poverty indicators and changes over time across the EU. The EU-SILC requirement was integrated into the GHS/GLF in 2005. After the closure of the GLF, EU-SILC was collected via the <a href="http://discover.ukdataservice.ac.uk/series/?sn=200017" title="Family Resources Survey">Family Resources Survey</a> (FRS) until the UK left the EU in 2020.</p><p><i>Reformatted GHS data 1973-1982 - Surrey SPSS Files</i><br>
SPSS files were created by the University of Surrey for all GHS years from 1973 to 1982 inclusive. The early files were restructured and the case changed from the household to the individual with all of the household information duplicated for each individual. The Surrey SPSS files contain all the original variables as well as some extra derived variables (a few variables were omitted from the data files for 1973-76). In 1973 only, the section on leisure was not included in the Surrey SPSS files. This has subsequently been made available, however, and is now held in a separate study, <i>General Household Survey, 1973: Leisure Questions</i> (SN 3982). Records for the original GHS 1973-1982 ASCII files have been removed from the UK Data Archive catalogue, but the data are still preserved and available upon request. </p> <i>General Household Survey: Time Series Dataset, 1972-2004</i>:<br>
The <i>General Household Survey Time Series Dataset 1972-2004</i> was created by ONS. The dataset allows for analysis of several topics covered in the GHS over time and for pseudo-cohort analysis. It was originally referred to as the <i>GHS Pseudo-Cohort Dataset</i> (GHSPCD). The user guide for the time series dataset was created jointly by ONS and the Economic and Social Data Service (ESDS) Government.<br>

<p><i>综合家庭调查（General Household Survey, GHS）</i>的运行周期为1971年至2011年（英国数据服务中心（UK Data Service, UKDS）持有1972年至2011年的数据集）。该调查是由英国国家统计局（Office for National Statistics, ONS）开展的连续性年度全国性调查，调研对象为居住在私人家庭中的居民。本次调查的核心目标是采集涵盖家庭、家族与个体信息的多维度核心主题数据，供政府部门及其他机构开展规划、政策制定与监测工作，同时全面呈现大不列颠地区家庭、家族与居民的整体状况。2008年起，GHS并入<a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000024"><i>综合家庭调查（Integrated Household Survey, IHS）</i></a>，并更名为<a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=200019"><i>综合生活方式调查（General Lifestyle Survey, GLF）</i></a>。该调查于2012年1月正式终止，2011年的GLF成为该系列的收官之作。此后，部分原GLF的调研问题被纳入<a href="http://discover.ukdataservice.ac.uk/series/?sn=2000043" title="Opinions and Lifestyle Survey"><i>意见与生活方式调查（Opinions and Lifestyle Survey, OPN）</i></a>。<br>
<br>
<i>安全访问版GHS/GLF</i><br>
英国数据服务中心持有1972年至2006年的标准访问权限终端用户许可（End User Licence, EUL）数据集。2000年至2011年的调查数据提供安全访问版本，详情参见编号SN 6716的<a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=6716"><i>2000-2011年综合生活方式调查：安全访问数据集</i></a>。<br>
<br>
<i>调查历史</i><br>
GHS每年定期开展直至2011年，期间曾两次中断：1997年至1998年因调查评审暂停，1999年至2000年因调查重构暂停。更多背景信息可参阅英国国家统计局发布的<a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/personalandhouseholdfinances/incomeandwealth/compendium/generallifestylesurvey/2013-03-07/40yearsofdatacollection/pdf"><i>《40年数据采集概览——2011年综合生活方式调查报告》</i></a>（PDF格式），各年度的调整细节可参见对应单项研究的文档说明。<br>
<br>
<i>欧盟收入与生活条件统计调查（EU-SILC）</i><br>
2005年，欧盟（EU）出台法规，要求成员国强制采集收入与生活条件相关的补充统计数据，该统计体系即为EU-SILC，其覆盖范围涵盖贫困与社会排斥维度。欧盟通过对比各成员国的贫困指标与跨时间变化趋势，辅助规划与监测欧洲社会政策。2005年，EU-SILC的调研要求被整合进GHS/GLF体系。GLF终止后，欧盟的EU-SILC数据采集工作通过<a href="http://discover.ukdataservice.ac.uk/series/?sn=200017" title="Family Resources Survey"><i>家庭资源调查（Family Resources Survey, FRS）</i></a>开展，直至英国于2020年脱欧。</p>
<p><i>1973-1982年重构版GHS数据——萨里大学SPSS文件</i><br>
萨里大学为1973年至1982年（含首尾年份）的所有GHS调查数据制作了SPSS格式文件。早期文件已完成重构，调研单元从家庭调整为个体，所有家庭信息会随每个个体记录重复留存。萨里大学的SPSS文件保留了全部原始变量，并新增部分衍生变量（1973年至1976年的部分变量未纳入数据文件）。仅1973年的休闲主题模块未被纳入萨里SPSS文件，后续该模块数据已单独发布，收录于编号SN 3982的<a href="http://discover.ukdataservice.ac.uk/series/?sn=3982"><i>1973年综合家庭调查：休闲问题</i></a>单项研究中。原1973年至1982年GHS的ASCII格式数据记录已从英国数据档案馆目录中移除，但数据仍被妥善保存，可通过申请获取。&nbsp;</p>
<i>1972-2004年综合家庭调查时间序列数据集</i>:<br>
<i>1972-2004年综合家庭调查时间序列数据集</i>由英国国家统计局制作。该数据集支持对GHS覆盖的多项调研主题进行跨时间分析，同时可用于伪队列分析（pseudo-cohort analysis），最初被称为《GHS伪队列数据集（GHS Pseudo-Cohort Dataset, GHSPCD）》。该时间序列数据集的用户指南由英国国家统计局与经济与社会数据服务政府分部（Economic and Social Data Service, ESDS）联合编制。<br>
