Annual Population Survey Household Dataset, January - December, 2016

<p>The <i>Annual Population Survey</i> (APS) household datasets are produced annually and are available from 2004 (Special Licence) and 2006 (End User Licence). They allow production of family and household labour market statistics at local areas and for small sub-groups of the population across the UK. The household data comprise key variables from the <i>Labour Force Survey</i> (LFS) and the APS 'person' datasets. The APS household datasets include all the variables on the LFS and APS person datasets, except for the income variables. They also include key family and household-level derived variables. These variables allow for an analysis of the combined economic activity status of the family or household. In addition, they also include more detailed geographical, industry, occupation, health and age variables.</p><p>For further detailed information about methodology, users should consult the <em>Labour Force Survey User Guide</em>, included with the APS documentation. For variable and value labelling and coding frames that are not included either in the data or in the current APS documentation, users are advised to consult the latest versions of the LFS User Guides, which are available from the ONS <a title="Labour Force Survey - User Guidance" href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/employmentandemployeetypes/methodologies/labourforcesurveyuserguidance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Labour Force Survey - User Guidance</a> webpages.<br><br></p><p><strong>Occupation data for 2021 and 2022<br></strong>The ONS has identified an issue with the collection of some occupational data in 2021 and 2022 data files in a number of their surveys. While they estimate any impacts will be small overall, this will affect the accuracy of the breakdowns of some detailed (four-digit Standard Occupational Classification (SOC)) occupations, and data derived from them. None of ONS' headline statistics, other than those directly sourced from occupational data, are affected and you can continue to rely on their accuracy. Further information can be found in the ONS article published on 11 July 2023: <a title="Revision of miscoded occupational data in the ONS Labour Force Survey, UK: January 2021 to September 2022" href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/employmentandemployeetypes/articles/revisionofmiscodedoccupationaldataintheonslabourforcesurveyuk/january2021toseptember2022">Revision of miscoded occupational data in the ONS Labour Force Survey, UK: January 2021 to September 2022</a><br><br>
<b>End User Licence and Secure Access APS data</b><br>
Users should note that there are two versions of each APS dataset. One is available under the standard End User Licence (EUL) agreement, and the other is a Secure Access version. The EUL version includes Government Office Region geography, banded age, 3-digit SOC and industry sector for main, second and last job. The Secure Access version contains more detailed variables relating to:</p><ul><li>age: single year of age, year and month of birth, age completed full-time education and age obtained highest qualification, age of oldest dependent child and age of youngest dependent child</li><li>family unit and household: including a number of variables concerning the number of dependent children in the family according to their ages, relationship to head of household and relationship to head of family</li><li>nationality and country of origin</li><li>geography: including county, unitary/local authority, place of work, Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics 2 (NUTS2) and NUTS3 regions, and whether lives and works in same local authority district</li><li>health: including main health problem, and current and past health problems</li><li>education and apprenticeship: including numbers and subjects of various qualifications and variables concerning apprenticeships</li><li>industry: including industry, industry class and industry group for main, second and last job, and industry made redundant from</li><li>occupation: including 4-digit Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) for main, second and last job and job made redundant from</li><li>system variables: including week number when interview took place and number of households at address</li></ul>The Secure Access data have more restrictive access conditions than those made available under the standard EUL. Prospective users will need to gain ONS Accredited Researcher status, complete an extra application form and demonstrate to the data owners exactly why they need access to the additional variables. Users are strongly advised to first obtain the standard EUL version of the data to see if they are sufficient for their research requirements. For the second edition (October 2019), the 2018 weighting variable and previously unavailable variables HRP and RELHFU were added to the dataset.

《年度人口调查（Annual Population Survey，APS）》家庭数据集按年度产出，2004年（特殊许可）及2006年（最终用户许可）版本均可获取。该数据集可用于编制英国地方层面及人口小亚组的家庭与劳动力市场统计数据。家庭数据源自劳动力调查（Labour Force Survey，LFS）及APS“个人”数据集的核心变量。APS家庭数据集包含LFS与APS个人数据集的全部变量（收入变量除外），同时纳入关键的家庭与住户层面衍生变量，支持分析家庭或住户的综合经济活动状态。此外，数据集还包含更详尽的地理、行业、职业、健康及年龄相关变量。

如需了解方法学的详细信息，用户可参阅APS配套文档中的《劳动力调查用户指南》。对于数据或当前APS文档未涵盖的变量、值标签及编码框架，建议用户查阅最新版LFS用户指南，可从英国国家统计局（Office for National Statistics，ONS）的《劳动力调查——用户指南》网页获取，链接：https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/employmentandemployeetypes/methodologies/labourforcesurveyuserguidance。

**2021年及2022年职业数据**
英国国家统计局（ONS）在其多项调查的2021年与2022年数据文件中，发现部分职业数据采集存在问题。尽管评估认为整体影响有限，但该问题会影响部分细分（四位标准职业分类（Standard Occupational Classification，SOC））职业的分类精度，以及由此衍生的各类数据。除直接来源于职业数据的核心统计指标外，ONS的其他官方统计数据均未受影响，用户可继续信赖其准确性。更多详情可参阅ONS于2023年7月11日发布的文章：《英国2021年1月至2022年9月ONS劳动力调查中编码错误的职业数据修订》，链接：https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/employmentandemployeetypes/articles/revisionofmiscodedoccupationaldataintheonslabourforcesurveyuk/january2021toseptember2022。

**最终用户许可与安全访问版APS数据**
用户须知每份APS数据集均包含两个版本：其一遵循标准最终用户许可（End User Licence，EUL）协议发布，其二为安全访问版本。标准EUL版包含政府办公室区域地理信息、分档年龄、主职、兼职及离职岗位的三位SOC职业编码与行业分类。安全访问版本则纳入更多详细变量，涵盖以下类别：
- 年龄信息：单一年龄、出生年份与月份、完成全日制教育的年龄、获得最高学历的年龄、最大受抚养子女年龄与最小受抚养子女年龄
- 家庭单元与住户：包含多项与家庭中受抚养子女数量（按年龄划分）、与户主的亲属关系、与家庭户主的亲属关系相关的变量
- 国籍与原籍国
- 地理信息：包含郡、单一地方当局、工作地点、欧盟统计区域命名法2（Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics 2，NUTS2）与NUTS3区域，以及是否在同一地方当局辖区内居住与工作
- 健康信息：包含主要健康问题、当前与既往健康状况
- 教育与学徒制：包含各类资质的数量与科目，以及与学徒制相关的变量
- 行业信息：包含主职、兼职、离职岗位及裁员前岗位的行业、行业类别与行业分组
- 职业信息：包含主职、兼职、离职岗位及裁员前岗位的四位标准职业分类（SOC）编码
- 系统变量：包含访谈周数与住址内的住户数量

安全访问数据的访问限制严于标准EUL版数据。潜在用户需获得ONS认证研究人员身份，填写额外申请表，并向数据所有者明确说明其需要访问额外变量的研究缘由。强烈建议用户优先获取标准EUL版数据，确认其是否满足研究需求。2019年第二版（2019年10月）数据集新增了2018年权重变量以及此前未公开的HRP与RELHFU变量。
