The dataset will help class tutors to incorporate empirical data into their courses and thus to develop students skills in quantitative methods of analysis.<br> <br> Many of the names of the variables and value labels are those used in the original LFS files. However, some variables have been recoded for ease of use and may vary from the original LFS data.<br> <br> For the second edition, individual non-respondents were omitted from the dataset, resulting in approximately 2300 less cases. The documentation has also been updated.<br> <br> Users may be interested in the <i>STATA for the LFS</i> guide available from <a href="http://www.esds.ac.uk/government/resources/statguides.asp" title="ESDS Government Online statistical guides">Online statistical guides</a> and which explores this dataset.<br></h5><h3>Main Topics:</h3><h5>The dataset contains data from all four quarters of the 2002/3 LFS (UKDA Study Numbers: 4547, 4600, 4664, 4626) for respondents aged 16-65 and resident in the UK (n=63,559). This is only a subset of the original data files which include data on all those aged 16 and over. For each quarter of 2002/3 only the respondents who were in their final interview were included in the teaching dataset. This is because information about pay (which is a popular topic of analysis) is only collected in the final interview.<br> <br> The dataset includes 58 variables. Most of the variables included within the dataset are individual variables, and require individual based analysis. However, there are two household variables:  ten96 and  house .<br> <br> Topics covered include socio-demographic characteristics, health, economic, activity, pay, employment status and working hours.<br> <br></h5> <h3>Coverage: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'> Time Period Covered:</i> 2002 - 2003 <br><i class='myclass'>Country: </i> United Kingdom <br><i class='myclass'>Spatial Units: </i> Countries; Standard Regions <br><i class='myclass'>Observation Units: </i> Individuals; Families/households <br><i class='myclass'>Kind of Data: </i> Individual (micro) level </h5> <h3>Universe Sampled: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Location of Units of Observation:</i> National <br><i class='myclass'>Population:</i> All persons aged 16-65 normally resident in private households in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. </h5> <h3>Methodology: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Time Dimensions: </i> Cross-sectional (one-time) study<br> For each quarter of 2002/3 only the respondents who were in their final interview were included in the teaching dataset. <br><i class='myclass'>Sampling Procedures: </i> Simple random sample <br><i class='myclass'>Number of Units:</i> 65943 <br><i class='myclass'>Method of Data Collection: </i> Telephone interview <br><i class='myclass'>Data Sources: </i> The dataset contains data from all four quarters of the 2002/3 LFS. <br><i class='myclass'>Weighting: </i> No weighting used </h5><h3>Language(s) of Written Materials: </h3> <h5>Study Description: English<br>Study Documentation: English<br></h5> <h3>Access: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Access Conditions: </i> The depositor has specified that registration is required and standard conditions of use apply.
