There is also one set of fieldwork notes conducted in Poland. Interviews were conducted in Polish and transcribed directly into English by the researcher.<br> <br> A majority of interviewees had been in London for no more than two years. Although some in the sample were very recent migrants, others had been living in the capital for almost a decade. Interviews were conducted across sections of age, education and occupational activity and the sample was weighted in order to be consistent with the more general statistical data gathered by the Home Office Workers Registration Scheme and the <i>Labour Force Survey</i>.<br> <br> The study asked interconnected questions, such as: in what terms do Polish migrant workers understand their socio-economic position within both London's market and in Poland, and in what ways can their understandings of both be analysed in terms of analytical distinctions between class and ethnicity? Also, what social and economic links did respondents maintain with relatives and friends in Poland?<br> <br> Further information is available from the <a href="http://www.esrcsocietytoday/esrcinfocentre/viewawardpage.aspx?awardnumber=RES-000-22-1294" title="ESRC award page">ESRC award page</a> or the project's <a href="http://www.surrey.ac.uk/Arts/CRONEM/polish/index.htm" title="Class and Ethnicity: Polish Migrant Workers in London project web page">web page</a></h5><h3>Main Topics:</h3><h5>Migration, Polish, transnationalism, class<br></h5> <h3>Coverage: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'> Time Period Covered:</i> 1996 - 2006 <br><i class='myclass'>Dates of Fieldwork: </i> October 2005 - June 2006 <br><i class='myclass'>Country: </i> England; Poland <br><i class='myclass'>Geography: </i> Jaslo; Krakow; London; Pawlowice; Sokolka <br><i class='myclass'>Spatial Units: </i> No spatial unit <br><i class='myclass'>Observation Units: </i> Individuals <br><i class='myclass'>Kind of Data: </i> Textual data </h5> <h3>Universe Sampled: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Location of Units of Observation:</i> Cross-national; Subnational <br><i class='myclass'>Population:</i> Polish nationals living in London at the time of the research.
