LLAKES Centre Mid-Term Review Proposal

Description	Twelve LLAKES projects have produced outputs which will be of use to policy makers and policy-based organisations concerned with economic and societal themes. We give examples of impact generation within a number of our projects below. 1. LLAKES Research on Adult Skills and Jobs (Project 2.5, including the Supplementary project on the Skills and Employment Survey). The Skills and Employment Survey 2012, hosted by the LLAKES Centre, was the sixth in a series of representative sample surveys of workers in Britain. This round of data collection allowed us to chart the changing pattern of job quality and skills over a quarter of a century, with some new survey questions specifically designed to reveal the impact of the recession on working life. Several data sets were deposited at the UK Data Archive in 2014, and in the same year the data was enhanced by a second wave, covering 1047 cases drawn randomly from the 2012 sample, thus providing the opportunity for longitudinal analyses of job quality for the first time with nationally representative, reasonably large scale sample. Analysis of the data from the Skills and Employment Survey 2017 is also under way with first findings released during summer 2018. The results from the all the recent surveys have had, and continue to have, demonstrable economic and societal impacts. This is evidenced in several ways: - Engagement with policy-makers, civil servants and representative bodies with an interest in enhancing the quality of working life. During the course of the project, four launch events have been held across Britain - two in London, and one in Cardiff and one in Glasgow. Taken together, these events attracted an audience of 330. Delegates mainly consisted of policy-makers, political representatives, trade union officials, professional bodies, lobbying organisations, training providers and employers. - The project findings attracted considerable media interest which helped to generate public debate about how the quality of working life might be improved and the worst effects of austerity mitigated. Notably this included a front page article in the Financial Times, as well as articles in The Guardian and the Daily Mail, and commentary on Radio Four's Today programme and live interviews on Radio Five Live, LBC and Radio Cymru. - The project team wrote, designed and produced a series of eight short reports with the intention of communicating bite-sized policy-relevant research messages to policy-makers. These have proved an effective device. A total of 4,600 hard copy reports have been distributed and all were made available for download from the project web site. This approach has been complimented by the publication of three articles in policy-making/practitioner facing outlets. - The results have informed policy-making as evidenced by project citations. For example, the UKCES review of the skills landscape made frequent use of the SES results and associated data; the NHS Pay Review Body's pay recommendations for 2014 cite project results; and the Welsh Government's policy on skills also refers to findings from the project. In 2015 the survey findings were used to frame public policy debates as the political parties launched their election manifestos. Evidence was used by the Smith Institute 'Making Work Better' Inquiry and the Skills Commission Inquiry into the Future of Work, whose deliberations were intended to influence government priorities. Evidence taken from the survey was used on several occasions - unfortunately, without attribution - in the Labour Party's manifesto for work. - A lasting legacy of the project is the data infrastructure which will permit further analyses to be carried out by academic or policy-based researchers on a variety of skills and job quality issues. It also maintains the tradition of carrying out such a survey every five years and therefore provides another data point against which future researchers will be able to make comparisons. To this end, four datasets have been lodged in the Data Archive and are available for analysts to download. The academic importance of the series as a crucial part of social science research infrastructure was recognised in 2014 when the Data Archive selected the series for inclusion in the 'curated collection'; that is, surveys which are regularly deposited by known researchers and frequently used by other social scientists. As of March 2015, a total of 507 researchers had downloaded the data from the series and used the material for research and teaching purposes. - The survey has also made a lasting impression on the collection of skills data internationally. The 'Job Requirements Approach' has been built into the background questionnaire of the OECD's Programme for International Assessment of Adult Competences (PIAAC) - the adult equivalent of PISA - which was carried out in 24 countries in 2011/12. There are now very many studies that make use of this data. In addition, the 2012 SES questionnaire has been used (with moderate changes) by the Institute of Adult Learning in Singapore in two surveys: its Skills and Employment Survey and its Learning At Work survey (in 2017). - The data have been used to construct an indicator of graduate jobs - both in Britain, and in Germany over time, and for several other OECD countries at a single point of time. Based on this index, a submission was made to the consultation on TEF, which in year two required an objective definition of graduate jobs. In addition, after a reconciliation with an alternative indicator developed using expert methods (as opposed to statistical methods), the indicator is being used by the Office for National Statistics for the purposes of the revised occupational classification in preparation for 2020 (to be termed SOC2020). The potential impact on the statistics is that some unit groups (occupations classified with four digits) may be moved between "major occupational groups" (which are classifications at the one digit level), which will affect how the occupational structure of Britain's economy is described in future analyses. Expertise developed within LLAKES from the SES has also been used to advise the European Foundation for Living and Working Conditions; the Foundation adopted the indicators of job quality recommended by Professor Green in his report in 2013; and we have contributed to consultations with the OECD during the development of its approach to job quality measurement. The 'Job Requirements Approach' for measuring job tasks, developed by Professor Green, has been built into the questionnaire of the OECD's Programme for International Assessment of Adult Competences (PIAAC). In addition, the 2012 SES questionnaire has been used (with moderate changes) by the Institute of Adult Learning in Singapore in two surveys: its Skills and Employment Survey and its Learning At Work survey (in 2017). 2. LLAKES Research on Skills Inequality (Project 3.1) The LLAKES Centre's analysis of the data in the OECD Survey of Adult Skills, focusing on adult skills inequality, has also had significant impact. The initial findings were published in a LLAKES Research Paper in January 2014 ('Why are Literacy and Numeracy Skills in England So Unequal? Evidence from the OECD's Survey of Adult Skills and other International Survey', LLAKES Research Paper 47) with an accompanying Press Release and two blogs by Andy Green ('Class Drives Equality Gap in England's Adult Skills,' The Conversation, 6th February, 2014; 'How Class Continues to Drive the Equality Gap in England's Adult Skills,' IOE Blog, 10th February 2014.) The paper had considerable media impact. There were articles on the research in: The Telegraph ('England among the Worst Nations in the World for its Class Skills Gap', 29.1.2014) and the Education Journal ('Poor Skills of Millions of Adults Still Held Back by their Parents' Social Class,' 7.2.2014). Mentions of the research also occurred in: Mail Online ('Underprivileged Pupils Fall further behind despite Nick Clegg's Flagship Education Policy to Narrow Gap between Rich and Poor Youngsters', 29.1.2014); The Independent ('Children of Brainy Parents Test Better'), and The News Matrix (29.1.2014). Francis Green gave an interview on the report for LBC Radio, and Andy Green and Francis Green presented the paper to a special seminar at BIS on 25th February, 2014. The research was promoted in two events in 2014. The first of these, held in Dublin, was a conference at the Royal Irish Academy entitled: 'How to Tackle Intergenerational Equity Gaps in Knowledge and Skills? Ireland in International Context", and focused on the question of why English-speaking countries perform relatively poorly on international comparisons of adult skills inequality. The symposium allowed senior academics and practitioners from across the UK and Ireland to exchange views and ideas, on subjects including the quality of educational experience; the links between Further and Higher Education; and the role of workplace learning in reducing levels of skills deterioration. The second event was a workshop on the OECD data, which was held at the Institute of Education in June 2014, and was attended by representatives from the National Institute of Adult and Continuing Education, Education and Employers, the University and Colleges Union, and other relevant organisations. Again, this session provided an opportunity for LLAKES members to interpret the OECD findings to a wider audience in ways that allow for the dissemination of information to workplaces and other communities. Follow up journal articles were published in Comparative Education Review in 2015 (featured article by Andy Green, Francis Green and Nicola Pensiero), British Education Research Journal in 2016 (Andy Green and Nicola Pensiero) and European Journal of Education (forthcoming 2018) (Nicola Pensiero and Andy Green). These led to invitations for Andy Green and Nicola Pensiero to deliver presentations and keynotes at 17 events internationally, including at the Moscow Higher School of Economics (20.4.2016), The Royal Irish Academy (22.6.2014), The German Institute for Adult Education (DIE) (12.9.2016), ASEM Lifelong Learning Hub conferences in Copenhagen (10.3.2015), Glasgow (6.6.2016) and Bali (10.3.2015), and at a CNESCO conference in Paris (20.5.2016). Andy Green gave further invited lectures at The Third International PIAAC Conference Organised by OECD in Madrid (8.11.2016) and at an ATL/PESGB meeting in 2015, and delivered the Malta Review of Education Research Lecture in Malta (28.5. 2014). Aside from the media coverage, specific social impact have been achieved in a number of areas. Andy Green presented oral evidence to the House of Lords Select Committee on Social Mobility in 2015 with further written submissions based on LLAKES research contributed by Alison Fuller and Lorna Unwin. Their evidence is widely cited in the final report from the Committee, and can claim to have been influential on the findings of the Committee. The other main area of impact has been with the OECD. Andy Green and Francis Green had substantial involvement with the OECD team in the development of the PIAAC, jointly contributing to the initial OECD Skills Strategy document and, in Francis Green's case, contributing to the development of the survey questions. We have shared our results from this Project with them at the second and third of the OECD's International PIAAC Conferences. Francis Green continues to be involved with the development of the PIAAC survey. It would be fair to say that our research has encouraged a stronger focus at OECD on skills gain and its distribution in further and higher education. Francis Green has also published 'Skills Demand, Training and Skills Mismatch: A Review of Key Concepts, Theory and Evidence' (2016) as part of the Evidence Review for Go Science and Foresight project: 'Future of Skills and Lifelong Learning'. This is one of several pieces of evidence informing this Foresight project which was presented to ministers and other policy makers in the Department for Education and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. Andy Green has coordinated the LLAKES response to the Government consultation on the Building our Industrial Strategy Green paper which focuses on the policies for skills and innovation. 3. LLAKES Research on Free Schools and Private Schools The LLAKES research on Free Schools has had some impact on the general climate of opinion through extensive media coverage of the research findings. The LLAKES Centre report on 'The Social Composition of Free Schools after Three Years' prompted a considerable media response when it was published in August 2014. It was discussed in articles written in The Independent, The Times, The Guardian, and the Times Education Supplement; the story was also covered extensively in specialist publications and in regional and local newspapers; and the lead author, Francis Green, gave interviews to BBC News at Ten, Sky News, LBC, Radio 5 Live, Radio London Drivetime, London Live, and BBC London News. The report's findings prompted extensive debate on what is a flagship government policy. A LLAKES research paper entitled: "Can 'Dreaming Big' help State-Educated Pupils Match Private School Peers' Wages in Early Middle Age?" was press-released in November 2015, and also attracted media interest. LLAKES research on private schools is beginning to have an impact. In 2014 Francis Green wrote a piece in The Conversation entitled 'Private Schools are Booming - but What do You Really Get for your Money?' which received good publicity and readership. This was followed up in November 2015 with a blog from Peter Taylor-Gooby entitled 'Who Gains from the "Public Benefit" Activities of Private Schools'? Francis Green addressed a panel at Westminster Education Forum on the topic 'The Contribution of Independent Schools to the Economy and Society'. The audience were almost all practitioners from within education - mainly though not exclusively the private sector. The new book by Francis Green and David Kynaston entitled Engines of Privilege: Britain's Private School Problem was published in February 2019. Considerable effort has been devoted to making the case for private school reform, including appearances on TV ('The Big Questions'; Newsnight); public lectures (e.g. under the auspices of the International Inequalities Institute); and media interventions (extracts of our work in national newspapers and outlets (e.g. Observer; Big Issue). We will maintain these engagement efforts in the future, with further media outlets planned (e.g. The Conversation; Tortoise Media), and meetings with private sector practitioners (the Headmasters and Headmistresses conference, the Independent Schools Commission and individual schools including the governing body of Eton College). Further public debates are planned. 4. Research on Young People, Transitions, Intergenerational Mobility and Civic Values Project 1.1 research on the role of intergenerational factors in the learning and well-being of young people has been widely discussed and disseminated and is beginning to make an impact on policy. An international expert seminar on 'Youth in the Recession' took place in June 2014, in which we collaborated with the ESRC project 'Youth in the Great Recession' to bring LLAKES Project 1.1 findings into the wider interdisciplinary exploration of youth experiences in times of economic crisis. Conference papers arising from Project 1.1 were also presented internationally at ASA, AERA, ECER and the conference on 'Pathways to Adulthood,' funded by the Jacobs Foundation, taking place at Marbach Castle between 14-17 November 2014. These high profile communication and impact opportunities are contributing to the search for policy solutions. The project has also contributed significantly two major books: Schoon, I. and Eccles, J.S. (eds) 'Gender Differences in Aspirations and Attainment: A Longitudinal Perspective', Cambridge University Press, 2014; and Schoon, I. and Bynner, J. (eds) 'Young People's Development and the Great Recession', Cambridge University Press, 2017. Ingrid Schoon, one of the project leaders, met the Department of Work and Pensions in January 2017 to advise on a forthcoming Green Paper on Social Justice, which will be based in part on research from this project. The project also received press coverage for its findings that 'Millennials who Chose an Apprenticeship over University are Just as Happy with Their Lives' which were released in January 2017. Project 1.2 research on 'The Crisis for Youth' is generating a significant impact. In the run-up to the 2015 general election, preliminary findings from the Sixth Wave of the Citizenship Education Longitudinal Survey (CELS), commissioned by LLAKES, were used to provide politicians and policymakers with up-to-date information about youth political engagement. LLAKES co-hosted a seminar in Westminster Palace with the Citizenship Foundation, and around 50 politicians and policymakers attended. David Blunkett chaired the session. A policy briefing paper from LLAKES informed the presentation (Keating, A., Green, A. and Janmaat, J.G. (2015) 'Young Adults and Politics Today: Disengaged and Disaffected or Engaged and Enraged? The Latest Findings from the Citizenship Education Longitudinal Study (CELS). LLAKES Research Brief. UCL Institute of Education). In June 2016, Pauline Leonard attended a LaunchPad event at 10 Downing Street on Work Futures. She is a member of the Cabinet Office's think-tank on 'Creating an Inclusive Economy' and prepared a Policy Briefing on Young People and Work for Teresa May in January 2017. Germ Janmaat, Avril Keating and Bryony Hoskins each contributed separate responses to the House of Lords Select Committee on Citizenship and Civic Engagement. Andy Green's book, 'The Crisis for Young People: Generational Inequalities in Education, Work, Housing and Welfare', was published on open access by Palgrave in July 2017, and was followed by a LLAKES Research Paper by Andy Green and Geoff Mason entitled: 'The Case for an All-Age Graduate Tax in England.' The publications and promotional activity led to widespread coverage in the national media, as well as in local media and specialist media outlets.Three articles by Andy Green were published in the national media outlets: 'Tax all Graduates to Pay for Universities (Even if They Graduated Years Ago)' THE, 3.7.2017; 'Higher Housing Taxes Could Tackle Inequality between Young and Old', The Conversation, July 2017; and 'Conservative Conference 2017. Ministers Know the Fees System must Change.' THE, 1.10.2017. There was coverage of the book and Research Paper in seven national news outlets, including: The Times ('Professor Calls for Tax on all Graduates to Pay Students Tuition Fees', 3.7.2017; The Guardian ('Grace is 25. Her debt: £69, 000.' 11.7.2017; Telegraph ('All Graduates Should Pay Tax Regardless of When They Went to University, Report Says' 11.9.2017; Mail Online ('Call for Older Graduates to Retrospectively Pay for Cost of Degree' 18.9.2917); Sun ('Radical Think-Tank Suggests Graduates in their 40s and 50s Should Pay a New Tax so Youngsters can go to University' 18.9.2017); Sec-Ed ('Graduate Tax offered as Solution to Student Loans Challenge.' 5.7.2017). Radio Interviews were broadcast on: BBC Radio 4 The World Tonight on 20th July 2017 and BBC Radio 4 Today Programme (18.9.2017). Further coverage in local and specialist newspapers and on-line outlets included: Belfast Telegraph (18.9.2017): Coventry Telegraph (18.9.2017); The EdGazette (18.9.2017); AOL (18.9.2017); Tax Payers Alliance (18.9.2017); Richard Murphy Blog (18.9.2017); Cetusnews (18.9.2017); Echo (18.9.2017); The Tab (3.7.2017; 24Hour Housing (6.7.2017) and CityMetric (28.7.2017). The level of public interest in these publications can be gauged from the breadth of media coverage and also by evidence on the scale of readership of the publications. There have been over 20 000 downloads of 'Crisis for Young People' from the Palgrave website during the since publication. An article in the Conversation has had 24 929 readers. It seems likely therefore that this research has had some impact on the general climate of opinion. Opportunities for influencing public policy have also been emerging. Andy Green has had discussions about how to take these policy ideas forward with the National Housing Federation, Places for People, The Resolution Foundation and the Intergenerational Foundation. He and Geoff Mason submitted a written response to the consultation of the Treasury Select Committee Student Loans Inquiry which has been accepted in evidence. Andy Green has also presented his ideas on the all-age graduate tax at a conference on 'Higher Education Funding' hosted the Education Policy Institute (British Academy, March 21st) and at Peking University which he visited on their prestigious 'Global Scholar' progamme in April 2018 to lecture on his book. He also gave giving one of his Max Weber Stiftung lectures on this topic in Mumbai in February 2019. The Liberal Democratic Party have shown interest in this policy and have requested that we provide estimates of the revenues this would generate in the future and LLAKES partners at the National Institute of Economic and Social Research are currently working on modelling this with us. 5. Research on Student Debt Project 1.4 on 'Student Debt, Higher Education Participation and Intermediate Skills Development.' (Claire Callender and Geoff Mason), is beginning to disseminate its results in relevant academic and policy communities which are showing considerable interest. A paper based on the findings was presented at an international conference entitled 'Understanding Student Debt: Who Borrows, The Consequences of Borrowing, and The Implications for Federal Policy Student Debt' held at the University of Pennsylvania in August 2016. The conference was sponsored by the Alliance for Higher Education and Democracy, the American Academy of Political and Social Science, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, the Spencer Foundation and the Wisconsin Center for Advancement of Postsecondary Education (WISCAPE). The presentation aroused considerable interest at the conference and a journal article has subsequently been published in The Annals. A Paper was also presented to a DFE seminar which formed part of the DFE's 'analysis and evidence learning fortnight'. The audience of 45 were entirely policy makers and internal researchers at DFE. The slides from the presentation and the pre-publication version of the paper were uploaded onto the DfE intranet which will ensure they have a wider circulation. Findings from the research have been cited in The Guardian (Anna Fazackerley, 'Part-time Student Numbers Collapse by 56% in Five Years', 2.5.2017. 6. Research on Civic Values Germ Janmaat's research for Project 3.3 on 'Lifelong Learning Systems, Equality and Civic Values' achieved impact beyond academia both domestically and internationally. For instance, his high profile publications on school ethnic composition and tolerance (all in high impact factor journals) led to invitations to partake in expert sessions on the social consequences of school segregation at the municipality of Amsterdam and at the National Council for School System Evaluation (CNESCO) in Paris. The most prominent paper among these publications was cited in a European Commission report on education and tolerance and was republished in a special volume on urban life and living together organised by a Spanish NGO on urban education. Similarly, his published work on educational tracking, political engagement and social cohesion resulted in an invited talk for the UK Commission on Education and Skills and a presentation in an expert session on social cohesion organised by UNDP in Oslo. It also culminated in a chapter contribution to a policy report on the evaluation of democracy which was presented to the French prime minister. This work was further cited in the Council of Europe Report "Learning to Live Together". Research on Skills, Innovation and Economic Growth 7. Research on Skills and innovation Phase Two Project 2.1 on 'Skills, Innovation and Economic Growth' focussed on intangible economic assets such as skills, innovation capacity, designs, software and 'organisational capital' (e.g., business practices and processes) which are increasingly seen as the 'missing input' in efforts to measure and understand productivity and growth performance. To investigate how intangible assets, and firm capacity to absorb them, affect the productivity of firms in different countries they constructed a dataset for UK firms for 2002-15 and made use of firm-level Community Innovation (CIS) data for the UK, Germany and Ireland to assembled a new cross-country industry-level dataset, including output, physical capital, skills and innovation data, which covered the US and six Continental European countries as well as the UK. In analysis of the UK firm-level dataset for 2002-15 they found a clear role for intangible capital in explaining firms' productivity performance. Firms at the top of the labour productivity distribution in the UK market sector are much more likely than other firms to invest in both tangible and intangible assets, are more likely to be foreign owned, and hire more skilled workers. Over time the dispersion in productivity between frontier and other firms has widened, and this has coincided with an increased dispersion across firms in investment in intangible assets such as software and R&D. The difference in productivity between frontier and other firms is particularly significant in high skilled service industries. Workers in frontier firms are paid a premium, over and above any returns associated with detailed occupations and other worker characteristics (Riley and Rosazza Bondibene, 2019). Comparative analysis of the Community Innovation Surveys across Germany, Ireland and the UK suggest that in addition to expenditure on innovation-related activities, internationalisation characteristics are associated with successful innovation in service sector firms. Cooperation around innovation with both suppliers and customers is also important in generating innovation outputs. Product, process and organisational innovations are positively associated with productivity in service sector firms in the UK and Germany. Marketing innovations appear to have the highest productivity returns for service sector firms in all three countries. For service sector firms in the UK and Ireland, foreign ownership and exporting are particularly important predictors of productivity in service sector firms (Peters, Riley et al., 2018). Making use of their cross-country industry-level dataset for manufacturing industries, they found important roles for both high-level skills and upper intermediate (technician-level) skills in developing absorptive capacity, in particular, the ability to convert the knowledge sourcing opportunities provided by openness to foreign trade and investment into innovative outputs (such as ideas for new products and processes). Productivity growth is enhanced not just by high-level skills and upper intermediate skills but also by workforce skills as a whole. Compared to other leading industrialised countries, the UK is well-equipped in terms of high-level skills but less so in terms of technician-level and other intermediate skills (Mason, Rincon-Aznar and Venturini, 2017). These and other findings were written up in a series of publications and also presented to policy-makers, productivity and innovation specialists and other audiences. For example, research dissemination workshops organised by LLAKES - involving a mix of LLAKES and external speakers - attracted policy analysts, economists and other representatives from a range of government departments, industry associations and other organisations, including HM Treasury, Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), Office for National Statistics, Institute of Grocery Distribution, Home Office, Chemical Industries Association, Digicatapult, Centre for Cities, Greater London Authority, Office for Budget Responsibility, Centre for Cities, Bank of England, NESTA (National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts), Engineering Employers Federation, UK Commission for Employment and Skills, Intellectual Property Office, InnovateUK (formerly Technology Strategy Board), Confederation of British Industry and the British Business Bank. The main findings from this project were also presented at internal workshops in the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and policy workshops organised by House of Commons Select Committees, as well as at an OECD workshop at HM Treasury. In addition, Rebecca Riley is working with the productivity team at the Office for National Statistics to incorporate some of the data developed during this project within the Annual Respondents Database (a firm-level dataset available to researchers through the UKDS secure service and the ONS Secure Research Service). Geoff Mason served as a member of the Strategy Board for the Q-Step Initiative in Social Science Quantitative Methods Teaching (funded by the Nuffield Foundation, Economic and Social Research Council and Higher Education Funding Council for England). LLAKES has also been involved in a number of more generic impact generation exercises. These bring research findings from across the range of LLAKES research to targeted audiences as part of LLAKES capacity-building endeavours. Two major initiatives have been undertaken in the past year. Andy Green led the professional development seminar on "Early School Leaving: Causes, Impact, Remedies and Policy Responses" which was organised in conjunction with the Centre for the Development of Educational Policy of the Greek General Confederation of Labour. Fifty Greek teachers attended the two-day session in June 2014, which included research-based presentations from LLAKES members on the multiple dimensions of early school leaving, including the life trajectories of early leavers, volunteering as a potential route to employment, and responses to the problems in the form of curriculum developments. The teachers were also able to present their own 'front line' experiences of what has been happening in Greek schools during the course of the economic crisis, and to feed their opinions and views into the policy debate. Francis Green has led a collaboration between the UK Commission for Employment and Skills (UKCES) and the LLAKES Centre which provides a series of 'Masterclass' sessions for policy-makers. These are based on LLAKES research findings, and are directed specifically at policy and decision makers within government. The Masterclass programme is being delivered at the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS). Seven presentations have been given so far. These include: 'Employers' Skills Demands' by Francis Green; 'The Historical and Comparative Perspective on the Development of Vocational Education and Training in England', by Andy Green; 'Global Challenges for Higher Education 'by David Finegold; 'Training Trends' by Alan Felstead; 'Apprenticeship and Occupation: Strengthening the Link through the Reform Agenda' by Alison Fuller; 'Competing through Skills' by David Ashton; and 'Youth Transitions' by Karen Evans and Ingrid Schoon. The sequence of presentations has been well attended, and this approach appears to be an effective way of relaying LLAKES research findings directly to influential individuals. ............ NB: Impacts generated since the start of the LLAKES Legacy Grant in May 2020 have been attributed to the Legacy grant.

Impact	Our research highlighted the way in which student loans potentially deter access to higher education, especially amongst low income students. This evidence has contributed to a re-evaluation of financial support for low-income students, especially those wanting to pursue vocational pathways - and in particular the introduction of lifelong learning allowances which were recommended by the Augar Review.On 29 September 2020, the Prime Minister announced the government would introduce a flexible lifelong loan entitlement, as part of its lifetime skills guarantee and wider skills package. The commitment was confirmed in the government's much delayed 'interim conclusion' to Augar, and in the Further Education White Paper, published on 21 January 2021.

Description	Does apprenticeship work for adults?

Policy Influence Type	Influenced training of practitioners or researchers
Impact	Professor Alison Fuller and Professor Lorna Unwin combined work drawn from LLAKES Centre research with a project funded by the Nuffield Foundation to compile a report and present a seminar on the status of Adult Apprenticeships in the UK. As the government aims to meet its target for 3 million apprentices, the research finds that current funding is being used to support the training of existing employees who are badged as apprentices. The study, 'Does apprenticeship work for adults?' examined the experiences of adult apprentices aged 25 and over in five different sectors and the motivations of their employers for participating in the government-funded programme. It identified considerable demand for upskilling and retraining from employees aged over 25 and over. It also found that employers are keen to adopt 'grown your own' training strategies to develop the specific skills they need and to help with staff retention. But, many of the apprentices had not received the level of training associated with an apprenticeship. The research team found that older learners voiced concerns about the lack of new learning and whether the qualifications they gained will help them progress in their careers. Adult apprentices were more positive about having to pass English and Maths tests, which many found challenging and rewarding, and many welcomed the chance to improve their IT skills. The study called for a radical rethink of the way government uses the term 'apprenticeship' to avoid it becoming devalued. In the light of a rapidly ageing population and the removal of mandatory retirement, it also called for specific strategies to support the upskilling and retraining of older workers. The danger of current cuts to the skills budget is that many adults who could benefit from training will miss out. Lorna Unwin and Alison Fuller are disseminating their findings widely, and have links to senior members of the government, so it is anticipated that these findings, in an area of critical importance, will have policy implications.

Description	Press-released paper: Mixed classrooms make students more tolerant, but only when there is meaningful inter-ethnic contact and friendship
Geographic Reach	Europe
Policy Influence Type	Influenced training of practitioners or researchers
Impact	Dr Germ Janmaat drew on his LLAKES-funded research project to looked at the relationship between classroom ethnic diversity and the attitudes of 'native' students (those with family roots in their countries) towards immigrants in 14 Western states. He notes that this relationship varies across countries and classrooms. In environments with many first generation migrant children (those born abroad), diversity is not having much of an effect. By contrast, in classrooms with many second-generation migrant students (children whose parents were born abroad) diversity enhances inclusive attitudes. Better contact between 'native' and 'second generation' students is likely to explain this difference. Second generation students are more familiar with the receiving country's culture and customs and have a better command of its language. They also have more friendships with native students. These conditions make meaningful cross-cultural contact possible, which, in turn, should raise native students' feelings of sympathy with immigrants. At a time when political parties across Europe are responding to widespread public concern about immigration, this research suggests there could be a more harmonious future. It was suggested that once immigrant communities have become more settled and integrated in the destination countries, positive effects of ethnic mixing could well emerge everywhere. Diverse classrooms could play a key role in fostering this change. Janmaat further found that classroom ethnic mix works best at medium and higher levels of diversity. He concluded that policy makers should consider ethnic mixing as a strategy to promote more inclusive out-group attitudes among the native majority. They should not expect immediate results, however, in schools with many first-generation students. Neither should they expect a minimal presence of immigrant students in class to do the job. The study analysed survey data from the International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) which were collected in 2009 among more than 100,000 13 and 14-year-olds in 38 countries worldwide. The analyses included controls for many student and classroom characteristics. The study has recently been published online in the leading sociology journal European Sociological Review.

Description	Project Report: "They go the extra mile": Experiences of Young People at Volunteer Glasgow
Geographic Reach	National
Policy Influence Type	Influenced training of practitioners or researchers
Impact	Professor Pauline Leonard and Dr Rachel Wilde drew on their LLAKES project field to produce a report on experiences, perspectives and motivations of young people aged between 18 and 24 participating in the Volunteering Works programme offered by Volunteer Glasgow. The project investigated the fact that a number of 'Youth Labour Markets' now exist in the UK, each providing very different opportunities for an expanding age group of 18-30 year olds. In addition, there are an increasing number of different ways of 'getting in' to work for young people, such as apprenticeships, voluntary work placements, enterprise schemes and so on, across the public, private and voluntary sectors. Different regions within the UK have institute d various strategies for local economic growth and regeneration which often include schemes to help young people access new skills and get into work. However, little is known about the success of these schemes and how young people's experiences of getting into work and getting on within their careers varies across the different regions of the UK. The project findings show a significant demand from young people for the training and qualifications provided by centres such as Volunteer Glasgow to support their work and career aspirations. Many of the respondents believe they have the ability to make a productive contribution to the economic life of the city, given the opportunity and the right environment. Although perhaps lacking in those skills deemed to be essential for economic remuneration, they are motivated to gain the relevant training and experience in order that these may be obtained. However it also clear that a 'one size fits all' approach to developing young people's employability skills is not appropriate, given the diversity of their educational, social and health backgrounds. This is where the real strengths of the programmes offered by centres such as Volunteer Glasgow most clearly reveal themselves. The findings show that these are perceived to offer substantial benefits across the full range of course members. Most highly valued are the individualistic and caring approach of the staff, the sensitively designed curriculum of both classroom tasks and the opportunity for real workplace experience. However, for the programme to be fully successful, it is also important that organizations offering volunteering experience fully recognize their responsibility towards the training and employment of young people. Trainers and employers now need to work together to meet the needs and build on the potential of young people. These findings will be communicated to wider audiences as part of the LLAKES dissemination programme.

Description	Self-Evaluations, Aspirations, High-Valued Social Networks, and the Private School Earnings Premium
Geographic Reach	National
Policy Influence Type	Influenced training of practitioners or researchers
Impact	Professor Francis Green led the derivation of a press-released research paper on the impact on incomes of private education in the UK. The research showed that raising state school children's aspirations, self-confidence, and improving their access to social networks would do little to counter the huge pay advantages enjoyed by their privately-educated peers. Better education, superior academic performance and entry to higher-ranking universities are the main reasons why private school males go on to earn, at age 42, 34 per cent more than their state school peers. Women who attended fee-paying schools earn 21 per cent more, on average, than their state school counterparts by this age. These educational advantages account for the entire private school pay premium for women, and around half of that for men. Strategies to raise self-esteem, self-confidence and aspirations in the state school sector are unlikely to be very effective in narrowing the pay gap between the private and state sectors in later life. Such policies might seem attractive because they do not have to address the large differences in resources between the sectors. The results suggested that social equality strategies should continue to focus on the considerable educational disadvantages of state school pupils relative to their privately-educated peers. The source of private schools' advantage remains primarily their ability to deliver better academic performance. Policies should therefore remain focused on narrowing the gaps in educational achievement between private and state schools. These research outputs were referenced in number of national newspapers, including The Times on 12 November 2015.

Description	The social composition of Free Schools
Geographic Reach	National
Policy Influence Type	Influenced training of practitioners or researchers
Impact	The paper on the social composition of Free Schools - written by Professor Francis Green and based on LLAKES research - received extensive media coverage and contributed significantly to the debate in this area. Responses included the following: Tristram Hunt MP, Labour's Shadow Education Secretary: David Cameron is damaging our education system with his free school programme, taking standards backwards. By allowing unqualified teachers into the classroom and presiding over a widening of the attainment gap between the poorest children and the rest, we are seeing school standards suffer under this Tory-led Government. Labour will put an end to this damaging policy by introducing new local Directors of School Standards to raise standards for all children in all schools. Chris Keates, General Secretary of the NASUWT: The findings of this Report come as no surprise. The Institute of Education is not the first organisation to draw attention to these concerns. For example, this report echoes many of the findings of the Academies Commission. It highlights issues that the NASUWT predicted would occur when the current academies and free schools programme was conceived by the Coalition. There has never been any evidence that structural change raises standards, but there is a wealth of evidence to show that it can lead to social segregation. The NASUWT warned that the ability of free schools and academies to police their own admissions would create opportunities for selection to flourish, and it is clear from this report that this is exactly what is happening. Millions of pounds of taxpayers' money is being poured into a handful of free schools. Most of these qualified for the funding on the basis they were being established in deprived areas. Yet they appear to have no real desire to serve those communities and are instead using their freedoms to exclude those local children who need the most help. Our children and young people deserve better. Kevin Courtney, Deputy General Secretary of the National Union of Teachers: The findings of the Institute of Education report echo what the NUT has warned for many years. Even if free schools do open in disadvantaged areas, there is growing evidence that intake will be discriminatory. Today's findings by the IoE are similar to those of the National Audit Office, who recently found that just 16% of pupils at 81 free schools were eligible for free school meals, compared to 25% in neighbouring schools. Free schools are not serving their communities to anything like the same extent. Like-for-like comparisons of school achievement become less reliable as a result. Free schools are not raising standards, however, despite Government claims. Around half of pupils in free schools (46%) inspected by Ofsted are in schools which 'require improvement' or are judged 'inadequate'. You will also struggle to find a state maintained school judged 'dysfunctional' by Ofsted, yet this was the word used to describe a free school last year. Nor are they targeting areas of greatest need. The school places crisis continues to grow, with local authorities powerless to open new schools. This right must be restored to local authorities, who are far better placed to organise provision. Tackling the school places crisis should be one of Nicky Morgan's highest priorities. The increasing number of free schools that are being set up by large academy chains and existing trusts also gives the lie to the idea that the free school programme is driven by parental demand. What is being offered to parents is an untested experiment with children's futures." Martin Freedman, director of economic strategy and negotiations at the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL): Free schools have brought in selection by the back door and become the elite institutions we feared they would be, dominated by children with the pushiest parents. This report shows that even where free schools have opened in deprived areas they are still not taking the most disadvantaged children. This blows out one of the government's main rationales for free schools - that they would help poorer children. And even worse, the government is depriving other schools and their pupils of large amounts of money to fund the opening of free schools. How much longer can the government try to justify pouring money into an educational experiment that is clearly not working?

This round of data collection has allowed us to chart the changing pattern of job quality and skills over a quarter of a century, with some new survey questions specifically designed to reveal the impact of the recession on working life. The results have had, and continue to have, demonstrable economic and societal impacts. This is evidenced in six ways: 1. Engagement with policy-makers, civil servants and representative bodies with an interest in enhancing the quality of working life. During the course of the project, 4 launch events have been held across Britain - 2 in London, and 1 in Cardiff and 1 in Glasgow. Taken together, these events attracted an audience of 330. Delegates mainly consisted of policy-makers, political representatives, trade union officials, professional bodies, lobbying organisations, training providers and employers. 2. The project findings have attracted considerable media interest which have helped to generate public debate about how the quality of working life might be improved and the worst effects of austerity mitigated. Notably this included a front page article in the Financial Times, as well as articles in The Guardian and the Daily Mail, and commentary on Radio Four's Today programme and live interviews on Radio Five Live, LBC and Radio Cymru. 3. The project team wrote, designed and produced a series of 8 short reports with the intention of communicating bite-sized policy-relevant research messages to policy-makers. These have proved an effective device. A total of 4,600 hard copy reports have been distributed and all were made available for download from the project web site. This approach has been complimented by the publication of 3 articles in policy-making/practitioner facing outlets. 4. The results have informed policy-making as evidenced by project citations. For example, the UKCES recent review of the skills landscape makes frequent use of the SES results and associated data, the NHS Pay Review Body's pay recommendations for 2014 cite project results and the Welsh Government's policy on skills also refers to findings from the project. More recently, the survey findings have been used to frame public policy debates as the political parties launch their election manifestos for May 2015. Evidence has been used by the Smith Institute 'Making Work Better' Inquiry and the Skills Commission Inquiry into the Future of Work, whose deliberations are intended to influence the priorities of the next government. More recently, evidence taken from the survey appears has been used on several occasions - unfortunately, without attribution - in the Labour Party's manifesto for work (see Influence on Policy entry). 5. The lasting legacy of the project, however, is the data infrastructure which will permit further analyses to be carried out by academic or policy-based researchers on a variety of skills and job quality issues. It also maintains the tradition of carrying out such a survey every five years and therefore provides another data point against which future researchers will be able to make comparisons. To this end, four datasets have been lodged in the Data Archive and are available for analysts to download. The academic importance of the series as a crucial part of social science research infrastructure was recognised in 2014 when the Data Archive selected the series for inclusion in the 'curated collection'; that is, surveys which are regularly deposited by known researchers and frequently used by other social scientists. As of March 2015, a total of 507 researchers have downloaded the data from the series and used the material for research and teaching purposes. 6. The survey has also made a lasting impression on the collection of skills data internationally. The 'Job Requirements Approach', for example, has been built into the background questionnaire of the OECD's Programme for International Assessment of Adult Competences (PIAAC) - the adult equivalent of PISA - which was carried out in 24 countries in 2011/12. In addition, the 2012 SES questionnaire has been used with only modest change by the Institute of Adult Learning in Singapore. Two papers, directly resulting from the second wave data, have been published recently: Gallie, D., Y. Zhou, A. Felstead, F. Green and G. Henseke (2017). "The implications of direct participation for organisational commitment, job satisfaction and affective psychological well-being: a longitudinal analysis." Industrial Relations Journal 48(2): 174-191. Felstead, A., D. Gallie, F. Green and G. Henseke (2016 online). "The determinants of skills use and work pressure: A longitudinal analysis."

Title	Citizenship Education Longitudinal Study (CELS)
Description	The Citizenship Education Longitudinal Study (CELS) is a long-running cohort study of the civic attitudes and behaviours of young people in England. This study was originally conducted by NFER, but has been administered by LLAKES since 2013. Funding for the study was initially provided by the Department for Education, but the latest data collection exercise has been made possible by the ESRC as part of Phase 2 of the LLAKES Centre. The latest data collection exercise included: (1) a sixth wave of follow-up interviews with the longitudinal cohort that have participated in CELS since 2003. The data were collected in 2014, when the cohort was age 23. (2) A cross-sectional and cross-national web survey that we commissioned to complement the longitudinal CELS data. This web survey was completed by 2025 young people aged 22-29 in England, Scotland and Wales. These surveys enable us to trace the evolution of youth attitudes during the formative period of adolescence and into young adulthood. These data have played an important role in several LLAKES projects and analysis has, to date, resulted in five published journal articles (Keating and Janmaat, 2016; Hoskins and Janmaat, 2016; Keating and Melis, 2017; Hoskins et al, 2017; and Hoskins et al, forthcoming). A further five journal articles and one book are under review or in preparation; we expect these to be published in the next 12-18 months.

Title	Prospective HE students' attitudes towards student loan debt
Description	Representative sample of students aged 17 to 21 in England who were studying toward higher education entry-level qualifications such as A levels or vocational qualifications at Level 3 on the UK Regulated Qualifications Framework in 2015 . Included in the sample are students in their final year of studying toward higher education entry-level qualifications in: ? - government-funded high schools; ?- independent (private fee-paying) high schools; and ? - further education colleges. In 2015, a sampling frame of potential individual respondents was built using student contact details drawn from two national databases: the National Pupil Database and Individual Learner Records held by the Department for Education. Questionnaires were sent to most students through a mix of postal and email methods. Since the National Pupil Database does not contain contact details for independent school students, a sample of these students was obtained through direct approaches to independent schools, with teachers given a choice of handing out paper questionnaires to students or providing them with the information required to complete questionnaires on-line

Title	Skills and Employment Survey 2012
Description	The Skills Survey is a series of surveys which aim to investigate the employed workforce in Great Britain (and United Kingdom from 2006). The survey series builds on two previous studies of the workforce, Social Change and Economic Life Initiative Surveys, 1986-1987 and Employment in Britain, 1992. The first Skills Survey was conducted in 1997 and represented a new approach to assessing the extent to which those at work in Britain had skills matching the requirements of their jobs. The 2001 survey was aimed at assessing how much had changed between the two surveys. The third survey in 2006 enhanced this time series data further but had the overarching aim of providing a resource for analysing skill and job requirements in the British economy in the middle part of the current decade. The Skills and Employment Survey, 2012 (SES2012) was the fourth in the series, and aimed to again add to the time series data and, coinciding as it did with a period of economic recession, aimed to provide insight into whether the British workforce felt under additional pressure/demand from employers as a result of redundancies and cut backs.

Based on this index, a submission was made to the consultation on TEF. In addition, after a reconciliation with an alternative indicator developed using expert methods (as opposed to statistical methods), the indicator is being used by the Office for National Statistics for the purposes of the revised occupational classification in preparation for 2020 (to be termed SOC2020). The potential impact on the statistics is that some unit groups (occupations classified with four digits) may be moved between "major occupational groups" (which are classifications at the one digit level), which will affect how the occupational structure of Britain's economy is described in future analyses.

Title	Skills and Employment Survey, 2017
Description	The project to carry out the 2017 survey was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), Cardiff University and the Department for Education with funding from the Welsh Government to boost the sample in Wales (ES/P005292/1). The four specific objectives for SES2017, stemming from the overarching aim (to provide data on the skills and employment experiences of working life in Britain in 2017) were as follows: To chart the level and distribution of, and changes to, some of the key drivers of productivity such as work organisation, job-related well-being, the skills requirements of jobs, and the incidence, volume and quality of training and learning.To describe and analyse the level and distribution of key aspects of job quality in 2017 - such as employee involvement, work intensity, insecurity and well-being at work - and make comparisons with earlier data points in the series.To use the data to develop distinctive, original and substantive contributions to scholarship surrounding job quality and job skill, and the connections these aspects of work have with productivity and innovation.To make the data available and provide the necessary documentary material to allow further analyses by academic and policy-based researchers in the field of skills and job quality.Further information may be found on the Cardiff University Skills and Employment Survey 2017 and How Good is My Job websites.A Special Licence Access version of the SES2017 is available under SN 8580, subject to more restrictive access conditions. It contains more detailed geographical information, covering Travel To Work Areas (TTWA). Users are advised to download this version, SN 8581, to see if it is suitable for their requirements before making an application for the Special Licence version. The Skills Survey is a series of nationally representative sample surveys of individuals in employment aged 20-60 years old (since 2006, the surveys have additionally sampled those aged 61-65). The surveys aim to investigate the employed workforce in Great Britain. Although they were not originally planned as part of a series and had different funding sources and objectives, continuity in questionnaire design has meant the surveys now provide a unique, national representative picture of change in British workplaces as reported by individual job holders. This allows analysts to examine how various aspects of job quality and skill levels have changed over 30 years.The first surveys in the series were carried out in 1986 and 1992. These surveys also form part of this integrated data series, and are known as the Social Change and Economic Life Initiative (SCELI) and Employment in Britain (EIB) studies respectively.The 1997 survey was the first to collect primarily data on skills using the job requirements approach. This focused on collecting data on objective indicators of job skill as reported by respondents. The 2001 survey assessed how much had changed between the two surveys and a third survey in 2006 enhanced the time series data, while providing a resource for analysing skill and job requirements in the British economy at that time. The 2012 survey aimed to again add to the time series data and, coinciding as it did with a period of economic recession, to provide insight into whether workers in Britain felt under additional pressure/demand from employers as a result of redundancies and cut backs. In addition, a series dataset, covering 1986, 1992, 1997, 2001, 2006 and 2012 is also available . A follow-up to the 2012 survey was conducted in 2014, revisiting respondents who had agreed to be interviewed again. The 2017 survey was the seventh in the series, designed to examine to what extent pressures had continued as a result of austerity and economic uncertainties triggered, for example, by Brexit as well as examining additional issues such as productivity, fairness at work and the retirement intentions of older workers.Each survey comprises a large number of respondents: 4,047 in the 1986 survey; 3,855 in 1992; 2,467 in 1997; 4,470 in 2001; 7,787 in 2006; 3,200 in 2012; and 3,306 in 2017.

Impact	The Skills and Employment Survey 2012 is the sixth in a series of representative sample surveys of workers in Britain. This round of data collection has allowed us to chart the changing pattern of job quality and skills over a quarter of a century, with some new survey questions specifically designed to reveal the impact of the recession on working life. The results have had, and continue to have, demonstrable economic and societal impacts. This is evidenced in several ways: 1. Engagement with policy-makers, civil servants and representative bodies with an interest in enhancing the quality of working life. During the course of the project, 4 launch events have been held across Britain - 2 in London, and 1 in Cardiff and 1 in Glasgow. Taken together, these events attracted an audience of 330. Delegates mainly consisted of policy-makers, political representatives, trade union officials, professional bodies, lobbying organisations, training providers and employers. 2. The project findings have attracted considerable media interest which have helped to generate public debate about how the quality of working life might be improved and the worst effects of austerity mitigated. Notably this included a front page article in the Financial Times, as well as articles in The Guardian and the Daily Mail, and commentary on Radio Four's Today programme and live interviews on Radio Five Live, LBC and Radio Cymru. 3. The project team wrote, designed and produced a series of 8 short reports with the intention of communicating bite-sized policy-relevant research messages to policy-makers. These have proved an effective device. A total of 4,600 hard copy reports have been distributed and all were made available for download from the project web site. This approach has been complimented by the publication of 3 articles in policy-making/practitioner facing outlets. 4. The results have informed policy-making as evidenced by project citations. For example, the UKCES review of the skills landscape makes frequent use of the SES results and associated data, the NHS Pay Review Body's pay recommendations for 2014 cite project results and the Welsh Government's policy on skills also refers to findings from the project. In 2015 the survey findings were used to frame public policy debates as the political parties launched their election manifestos. Evidence was used by the Smith Institute 'Making Work Better' Inquiry and the Skills Commission Inquiry into the Future of Work, whose deliberations were intended to influence government priorities. Evidence taken from the survey was used on several occasions - unfortunately, without attribution - in the Labour Party's manifesto for work. 5. The lasting legacy of the project, however, is the data infrastructure which will permit further analyses to be carried out by academic or policy-based researchers on a variety of skills and job quality issues. It also maintains the tradition of carrying out such a survey every five years and therefore provides another data point against which future researchers will be able to make comparisons. To this end, four datasets have been lodged in the Data Archive and are available for analysts to download. The academic importance of the series as a crucial part of social science research infrastructure was recognised in 2014 when the Data Archive selected the series for inclusion in the 'curated collection'; that is, surveys which are regularly deposited by known researchers and frequently used by other social scientists. As of March 2015, a total of 507 researchers have downloaded the data from the series and used the material for research and teaching purposes. 6. The survey has also made a lasting impression on the collection of skills data internationally. The 'Job Requirements Approach', for example, has been built into the background questionnaire of the OECD's Programme for International Assessment of Adult Competences (PIAAC) - the adult equivalent of PISA - which was carried out in 24 countries in 2011/12. In addition, the 2012 SES questionnaire has been used (with moderate changes) by the Institute of Adult Learning in Singapore in two surveys: its Skills and Employment Survey and its Learning At Work survey (in 2017). 7. The data have been used to construct an indicator of graduate jobs - both in Britain, and in Germany over time, and for several other OECD countries at a single point of time. Based on this index, a submission was made to the consultation on TEF. In addition, after a reconciliation with an alternative indicator developed using expert methods (as opposed to statistical methods), the indicator is being used by the Office for National Statistics for the purposes of the revised occupational classification in preparation for 2020 (to be termed SOC2020). The potential impact on the statistics is that some unit groups (occupations classified with four digits) may be moved between "major occupational groups" (which are classifications at the one digit level), which will affect how the occupational structure of Britain's economy is described in future analyses.

Country	United States
Sector	Academic/University
PI Contribution	Callender formed the collaboration with 2 academics one from the University of Vanderbilt and one now at Boston College as a direct result of giving a paper, at the University of Pennsylvania, about the findings of a study on student debt among prospective students. The US colleagues have used the same measures of debt aversion, developed by Callender in 2002, and used in the Callender and Mason 2015 study on debt in their US study of loan debt aversion among young people. We are currently in the process of writing a joint journal paper exploring attitudes towards debt and intentions to participate in HE among a broadly similar group of English and US young people in school - using the same measures of debt aversion. We have provided our US colleagues with our data from the English 2015 survey of potential HE students which they have merged their data from a similar US survey so that we can do this comparative US and English analysis. Thus we have created a unique English/US dataset. Callender is providing her expertise on student funding in England in the analysis and has written around a half of the the journal paper.
Collaborator Contribution	The researchers at the University of Vanderbilt and Boston College are providing us access to their data arising from their survey of young people for this comparative work. In addition, they are undertaking all the analysis of the merged English/US dataset, including modelling at no cost to us. Furthermore they will provide expertise on the US system of student funding in the analysis and write up of the paper.
Impact	The US colleagues are both economists, while Callender is a social policy analyst. Boatman, A., Callender, C. & Evans, B. (2022).

Results and Impact	Between 20-30 members of the DfE attended the talk, both in person and by video-link from four offices around the country. I presented findings on educational attainment and development of dsiabled children from a forthcoming journal article, that develops earlier work relating to young children (and extended it up to age 11), and on educational transitions of disabled teenagers from age 13/14 to age 19/20. The intention was for the DfE to gain insight into the research findings in order to inform their ongoing work around special educational needs and disability (SEND) and around social mobility and to share and discuss their priorities so that these could potentially be reflected in ongoing and future work. There were many questions and some lively discussion and a lot of sharing of information both ways. There have been subsequent follow-ups from the seminar organiser confirming the interest and providing additional materials relating to the discussion and confirming the value of an ongong 'conversation' on the research.

Description	Competence, Qualification and Higher Vocational Learning
Form Of Engagement Activity	A talk or presentation
Part Of Official Scheme?	No
Geographic Reach	Regional
Primary Audience	Public/other audiences
Results and Impact	Concepts of competence are widely debated within Europe, in the context of their relationships with VET and qualification frameworks. Integrative approaches to competence, which emphasise the development of capacities are contrasted with those that focus primarily on the performance of work tasks (see Brockmann et al, 2009). In the latter approach many learning outcomes can be achieved through workplace and informal learning and can be validated for accreditation purposes. The European Qualifications Framework describes competence in terms of responsibility and autonomy (EC 2008: 11), emphasising proven knowledge and abilities in work or study situations. EQF is a translation device, allowing equivalences between qualifications to be explored, yet this exploration is critically dependent upon different interpretations of the dominant concepts of competence and qualification in different countries. This paper considers how conceptions of competence and qualification are shaping higher vocational learning in the UK in an occupational field in which transnational recognition has particular importance. Competence development approaches in nursing will be compared with approaches in Germany, France, Netherlands, Sweden and UK, with particular reference to the European framework and the part that validation of informal learning plays in this field . This presentation built on the existing strong foundation developed by LLAKES in the area of vocational education and training (VET).

Form Of Engagement Activity	A talk or presentation

Geographic Reach	National
Primary Audience	Professional Practitioners
Results and Impact	Paper presented at Journal of Vocational Education and Training (JVET) conference, 5-7 July 2013. Our recent study exploring the role and meaning of intermediate level work within the United Kingdom's (UK) healthcare sector sought to make visible the complex and evolving range of responsibilities and levels of expertise of people working in what we came to call the 'intermediate space'. Technological advances have facilitated the standardisation of a range of medical and other health-related tasks, allowing them to be classified as routine and to be devolved downwards. Thus, healthcare provides a rich terrain for investigating changes and continuities in the education and training, and recognition of intermediate level staff. The research included a mapping of education and career pathways in a range of healthcare occupations and key informant interviews (professional bodies, employers, employees, trade unions, and education and training providers) in four areas: Maternity Support; Radiography Support; Healthcare Sciences; and Dental Technicians. We argue that contextual factors and traditional binaries based on assumed and longstanding notions of a workforce divided into 'registered' and 'unregistered', 'professional' ('qualified') and 'non' professional grades ('unqualified') and are undermining the development of intermediate posts articulated with clearly defined and well-understood education and training pathways. We suggest that lessons for policy reform can be learned from the example of dental technicians which, as a statutory registered occupation requiring approved and accredited training, provides a sharp contrast to the other occupational areas. The JVET conference is an important event in the field of Vocational Education, and was a useful opportunity at which to present LLAKES research in this subject.

What steps could be introduced to address the issues related to subcontracting amongst apprenticeship providers, as highlighted in the recent Ofsted report? Should apprenticeship funding be targeted at particular growth sectors identified by Government, such as renewable energy and the creative industries? Is the current model of shared public and employer investment striking the best balance for financing the apprenticeships system? What is the impact on funding of the new one_year minimum course length for 16_ to 18_year_olds? The research questions outlined above were discussed in some detail, and the conclusions reached were shared with useful networks.

Results and Impact	Why do English-speaking countries - including England, Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic - do relatively poorly on international comparisons of adult skills? A symposium of senior academics and practitioners from across the UK and Ireland, held in Dublin on 22 May 2014, set out to answer this question and find ways to boost opportunities in their countries. The symposium, entitled "How to tackle intergenerational equity gaps in knowledge and skills?" offered an opportunity to locate Ireland in a wider international context. OECD's PIAAC study - which assesses the skills of more than 160,000 people in 24 countries in literacy, numeracy and problem-solving - was the key focus for discussion. The event was hosted by the Higher Education Research Centre (HERC) of Dublin City University in association with Centre for Learning and Life Chances (LLAKES) and the Royal Irish Academy, brought together researchers and policy makers with a shared interest in enhancing adult skills. The symposium itself was very successful in terms of attracting an influential audience. Later discussions were held with representatives of Dublin City University with a view to co-ordinating a bid for European funding in this subject area.

Geographic Reach	National

Results and Impact	The rise of contingent (non-permanent) work is a feature of labour markets globally. This growth creates a need to better understand how the experience of 'free-lance' and contract-based work contributes to or constrains learning and identity formation, and how the learning of these workers can be supported. This paper discusses early findings from research in three industry sectors in Singapore: creative industries, the Continuing Education and Training (CET) sector and the low wage sector of cleaning services. We are conducting interviews with 30 free-lance or contract-based workers in each sector (90 interview respondents), capturing data about entry into and motivation for contingent work, how work-related networks and relationships are developed and maintained, how roles and movements across roles are negotiated. We are investigating how these workers think and feel their ways into occupational and social identities as they move between different sites of practice. These negotiations and processes do not stand alone; rather they are embedded in wider, 'bigger' sets of relationships that mediate day-to-day work practices. We find that dominant modes of industry engagement; professional, industry and workplace discourses; policy around funding and industrial relations, the degree of industry susceptibility to global financial fluctuations and the organisation and flow of production, along with these workers' own sense of agency, mediate identity formation and learning opportunities The JVET conference is a significant platform for the discussion of research work related to Vocational Education and Training, and this LLAKES-related research undertaken by Professor Karen Evans prompted several questions.

Results and Impact	In recent years, national and international policy has promoted the creation of 'knowledge-based' organisations and economies as essential to maintaining the position of advanced industrial countries, but also to solve complex social issues related to education, health and poverty. This assumption underpins the implementation of a range of policies presenting the development of the knowledge economy and innovation as twin key capacities vital for developing economic growth and solving social issues (OCDE, 2010; Europe 2020 strategy). There have been two broad and competing narratives about innovation, and its relationship with learning. The first conception shares a top-down, uni-directional understanding about the relationship between innovation and learning in which innovation is transferred from experts to employees in charge of its implementation and learning is viewed as a process of acquisition in which knowledge is transferred from experts to learners (Sfard, 1998). This alignment generates a coherent understanding but one that is flawed. In contrast, a second narrative focuses on co-participation in work practices as the source of innovation and learning. In this view, many innovations emerge in reflexive relation to the problems and issues that arise in the workplace (Brown and Duguid 1991, Julian Orr, Price et al 2012). These matters are addressed, usually below the radar, in order to ensure the effective delivery of services or products. Under this scenario ordinary employees with their in-depth and detailed knowledge of the work through their lived experiences, are viewed as innovators and the workforce as a whole (not just the most highly qualified knowledge workers) is understood to have innovative capacity. The learning bedfellow of this bottom-up understanding of how innovations can occur is social and situated learning theories which stress learning as changing participation in changing social practice (Lave and Wenger 1991). The metaphor that most aptly captures this understanding is 'learning as participation' (Sfard 1998). If workplace practice itself is the source of innovation, then it stands to reason that employees engaged with others in the practices of the workplace will have the opportunity to innovate as they go about solving the problems and generating the get-arounds and improvisations (Fenwick 2012). The changing nature of the work practices and workers' co-participation in them are mutually co-constitutive. Hence under this scenario the relationship between work, learning and innovation is reflexive and mutually constitutive and can be determinant in the development of innovative solutions as well as answers to business issues or to complex social problems on which we are going to focus on. Purpose Solving complex social issues require innovative solutions able to change social practices embraced on the long range by relevant actors. How can inextricable and ongoing social problems benefit from renewed solutions developed by ordinary employees whilst existing solutions have shown their limits? Based on a single case study of the development of an innovative homeless healthcare service, we have explored over a two-year period in what way taking up a 'cause' (the cause of the homeless) can drive an emergent learning and innovation process resulting in a radical reconceptualization of homeless healthcare. Furthermore, we show in what ways forms of work organisation and practices at play in the homeless healthcare center have been designed, created and enacted to generate an innovative working and learning culture. An extreme single case study: Pathway, for the cause of the homeless As the research focuses on the exploration of a particular phenomenon, the role played by a strong 'cause' in a learning and innovation process, it has been designed to suggest new conceptualizations. Therefore, our empirical data are drawn from a single case study which could legitimately be described as extreme, because it sheds light on a phenomenon that, until now, has received little attention (Yin, 1989). As Pathway problematizes healthcare delivery for homeless populations, this case study offers the opportunity to explore a learning and innovation process occurring in extreme circumstances and in which a strong 'cause' is defended. Pathway has developed a simple and successful model of enhanced care co-ordination for homeless people admitted to hospital. The delivery model involves multidisciplinary teams with expertise in homeless health (GPs, consultants, social workers, nurses, housing support, healthcare assistants etc.) operating within a hospital setting to ensure that homeless patients, often with complex needs, are cared for in a holistic way and discharged into an appropriate environment. Methodology The case study followed a qualitative approach, consisting of in-depth interviews with staff across Pathway, and ethnographic methods including observation of working practices, meetings and events. Fieldwork took place over a two-year period. The interviews and observations sought to explore the emergence of the process of learning and innovation of this specific healthcare service based in London and in Manchester. In total, 18 interviews with 17 employees - 10 based in London and seven based in Manchester were conducted. In addition, 62 hours were spent in the field observing the work of both employees and the charity itself. Results Whilst our empirical findings are supportive of practice-based understandings of the relationship between work, learning and incremental innovation, they also explore what it is about the nature of the practice that facilitates and sustains innovation. We argue that at least part of the explanation lies in the generation of practices designed in support of a 'cause' that provides a deep rationale for 'doing things differently', challenging existing practices and structures, and motivating and sustaining agency amongst members of the innovation's community of practice.

Primary Audience	Postgraduate students
Results and Impact	About 150 delegates attended this international conference on 'Doing Transtions'. Transition research has developed and diversified across different disciplines, epistemological interests and approaches as well as research methodologies, partly driven by the scientific community, partly by national and international political actors - and one may argue that the latter have been particularly influential in setting the agenda. These developments have resulted in a research scenery which is difficult to be overlooked while there seems to be a lack of theory on transitions. Research seems to operate with different understandings of transitions which are rarely made explicit. In fact, the meaning of transitions seems to be self-evident and to connect smoothly with other research phenomena and paradigms that theoretical clarification appears to be dispensable. This conference provided an opportunity to take stock of concepts and controversies, findings and insights, perspectives and paradigms of transition research in the life course in the last three decades as well as open questions in order to find common ground for theorising transitions.

Primary Audience	Policymakers/politicians
Results and Impact	About 100 delegates including policy makers, social researchers, post-graduate students and practioners attended this conference, examining the role of occupations as a decisive 'motors' for the (re-)production of social inequalities. Occupations comprise not only groups of individuals who perform similar activities and have comparable skills and competencies. They also confer social power to their members which is deriving from their occupational positions within the social division of labour. In many welfare states, occupations are an institution connecting the education system and the labour market. Particularly in vocationally organised labour markets, vocational (and academic) certificates not only signal a certain amount of education, but also suggest that job applicants have acquired a certain bundle of general and occupation-specific skills. As a consequence, occupational certificates are necessary prerequisites for finding and keeping stable and regular employment. At the same time, they limit access to specific occupations and associated resources such as prestige and income. Thus, occupations are a decisive mechanism of social stratification by social origin, gender and ethnicity.

The workshop, which was held at the Paris headquarters of OECD, was aimed at debating different indicators for skills mismatch using data from the OECD'sSurvey of Adult Skills. The OECD's published method had received some notable criticisms, and the Organisation was seeking clarification and wishing to discuss the way forward for future surveys. Professor Green's presenation reviewed the different biases that can and do arise when measuring skills mismatch from subjective questions in surveys, and suggested that the degree of skills hetrogeneity was so large within major occupational groups that these should not form the basis for the published measure. The Working Group will now review their position in the light of this feedback.

It also draws on subsequent papers on job quality, and on previous work for the European Foundation in which I proposed indices of job quality -- all this work was conducted with the support of the ESRC through LLAKES. The indices of job quality now provide the framework for some of the Foundation's many reports, which go to ministers in Brussels and are disseminated widely across Europe.

Results and Impact	This paper was presented at the 2013 Researching Work and Learning conference, held at the University of Stirling. The paper outlines a mixed methods study investigating newly qualified nurses' ability to re-contextualise or re-use knowledge learnt in university to allow them to organise, delegate and supervise care on hospital wards in England. The idea of re-contextualisation has been developed by Evans et al (Evans, Guile et al. 2010) using an approach that concentrates on different forms of knowledge and the ways in which these are contextualised and're-contextualised' in movements between different sites of learning. There was considerable interest in this paper, which arose from an extensive LLAKES project conducted jointly by the Institute of Education and the University of Southampton.
