ESDS Government

The large-scale government surveys, such as the General Household Survey and the Labour Force Survey, are key data resources for social science researchers. The work of ESDS Government, led by CCSR, includes:

  • raising awareness of the research potential of the government datasets
  • exchanging information between users and producers
  • running training courses on key topics of interest, on specific statistical packages and on methods of statistical analysis
  • providing topic-related online course materials and a range of teaching datasets
  • creating a number of value-added products which provide easy routes through the complex documentation of the government surveys
  • working closely with ONS and other data producers to ensure that the complementarity of interest between producers, commissioning government departments and academic users is maximised.

The acquisition, processing and delivery of the large-scale government datasets under this service is undertaken by the UKDA. Data is available via the web-based download system and the ESDS Nesstar system for online browsing and visualisation of the data.
