Notes from the GHS

Question

I'm using the General Household Survey serials for my dissertation and I require detailed information on date of birth, which is included in the GHS datasets before year 2000. However, after 2000, this information is no longer included in the datasets. I'm wondering if it's possible for you to provide me with this information, date of birth, for GHS2001-2002, GHS2002-2003, and GHS2003-2004.

Answer

I am afraid that information such as fine geographical details and date of birth have been removed from the datasets because of confidentiality reasons. Our experience shows that any request from ONS to allow using the data is a lengthy process and usually unsuccessful.
