Centre for Population Change General Household Survey Database, 1979-2009: Secure Access

The aim of the Centre for Population Change (CPC) <I>General Household Survey</I> (GHS) Database project was twofold. The first objective was to create a new data resource, assembling in a single data file, in harmonised form, a time series of repeated cross-sectional GHS survey data on demographic histories relating to fertility, marriage and cohabitation. The second objective was to use this new data resource to analyse the changing dynamics of childbearing and partnership over recent decades, and especially to examine the determinants of the changing timetable of fertility and partnership.<br> <br> The data are a subset, in harmonised form, of all GHS rounds 1979-2009, with those from 1998-2009 being Special Licence editions plus the previous 1972-2004 Time Series GHS Dataset. From 2008, the GHS was known as the <I>General Lifestyle Survey</I> until it closed in 2012. See the UK Data Service <a href="http://discover.ukdataservice.ac.uk/series/?sn=200019" title="General Lifestyle Survey">General Lifestyle Survey</a> series webpage for the original catalogue records.<br> <br> Further information about construction of the database can be found in the documentation. Information about the overall project can be found on the ESRC <a href="http://www.researchcatalogue.esrc.ac.uk/grants/RES-625-28-0001/read" title="Centre for Population Change: Understanding Population Change in the 21st Century">Centre for Population Change: Understanding Population Change in the 21st Century</a> award page.<br> <br> The Secure Access version replaces the previous Special Licence version that was held under SN 7666, which is no longer available. Prospective users of the Secure Access data will need to fulfil additional requirements, including completion of face-to-face training and agreement to Secure Access' User Agreement and Breaches Penalties Policy, in order to obtain permission to use that version (see 'Access' section below). <br> <br> <b>Full citation</b>:<br> The Principal Investigators' preferred full citation for the database is as follows:<br> <br> Beaujouan, E., Ni Bhrolcháin, M., Berrington, A., Falkingham, J. <I>Centre for Population Change General Household Survey Database, 1979-2009: Secure Access</I> [computer file].

人口变化研究中心（Centre for Population Change, CPC）与《综合家庭调查》（General Household Survey, GHS）数据库项目的目标兼具双重性。其一，构建全新数据资源，以统一协调（harmonised）格式将涵盖生育、婚姻与同居相关人口史信息的重复横截面GHS调查数据的时间序列整合至单个数据文件中；其二，依托该全新数据资源，分析近几十年来生育与伴侣关系的动态变迁，重点探究生育与伴侣关系时序变化的决定因素。

本数据集为1979-2009年全部GHS轮次数据经统一协调后的子集，其中1998-2009年的数据为特许许可版，同时纳入1972-2004年时间序列GHS数据集。自2008年起，GHS更名为《综合生活方式调查》（General Lifestyle Survey），并于2012年停办。原始编目记录可参阅英国数据服务中心（UK Data Service）的<a href="http://discover.ukdataservice.ac.uk/series/?sn=200019" title="General Lifestyle Survey">综合生活方式调查</a>系列网页。
