Understanding Society: The UK Household Longitudinal Study: Waves 9-11

Description	Data from Understanding Society are directly used by a number of Government Departments for policy monitoring, policy development and evaluation. .Researchers do not necessarily inform us of their publications or impact. We therefore do not know how much evidence of impact we capture. Understanding Society is an ongoing continuous project please see other awards for more details. Below we list impacts from the Study we are aware of. We provide this list with links to relevant reports/evidence to ESRC as part of our annual benefits report. Informs the development of new policy over time Broadly defined, but where the outcome is to develop new policy, or enhance existing policy. 1. The homeless monitor, funded by Crisis and JRF used Study data in the 2015 and 2016 monitors of England, Wales and Scotland. Evidence from the monitor has been used to change policy. Findings from the monitor for England were included in the House of Commons Library briefing paper The Homelessness Reduction Bill 2016-17. This Bill received Royal Assent and is not the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017. Shelter is referring to the Act as "the first major piece of homelessness legislation for 15 years". The academic team (from Heriot-Watt University) who carry out the analysis were awarded runner up in The Guardian research impact awards for this work. 2. The DWP policy paper Improving lives: Helping Workless Families used linked Understanding Society and National Pupil Database data (with the analysis carried out by the Understanding Society Policy Unit via the Direct Access arrangements). 3. The Demos report Rising to the top submitted evidence to the House of Commons Women and Equalities Committee inquiry Employment opportunities for Muslims in the UK and was included in the session report. The research was also referenced in The Casey Review: a review into opportunity and integration. 4. A research paper Re-employment, job quality, health and allostatic load biomarkers: prospective evidence from the UK Household Longitudinal Study challenged the assumption that any job is good for health, compared to unemployment. The findings influenced the narrative of the Taylor Review of Modern Working Practices. 5. The DWP uses the British Household Panel Survey in its dynamic microsimulation model Pensim2. The DWP designed Pensim2 to estimate the incomes of future pensioners; samples are 'grown' through time and the life events relevant to each family and individual. Pensim2 therefore allows the DWP to analyse the long-term implications of existing and proposed pension policies. Recently, the DWP used Pensim2 in the development of Automatic Enrolment into workplace pensions, which has led to 6.87 million workers being automatically enrolled into a workplace pension. 6. Evidence from two studies using the British Household Panel Survey (now succeeded by Understanding Society) data contributed (were referenced) to the independent review 'Good Work: The Taylor Review of Modern Working Practices'. The first of these included studies was the Department for Education report 'Young people's education and labour market choices aged 16/17 to 18/19'. The second study was an Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) report 'The Gender Wage Gap'. The Government accepted the majority of the recommendations of the Taylor Review. Following further consultation with stakeholders, the Government produced a policy paper 'The Good Work Plan' that outlines its future plans. Alongside this policy paper, the Government has made a public statement that it intends to introduce new legislation with new rights for flexible workers. The Government is positioning the proposed reforms as a key element of its Industrial Strategy, which aims to boost productivity throughout the UK. 7. The Scottish Government use Study data to report on child poverty, as required by The Child Poverty (Scotland) Act 2017. The Tackling Child Poverty Delivery Plan for 2018-22 sets out new policies and proposals to help meet the child poverty reduction targets. 8. Two research papers (article 1, article 2) have explored the relationship between social media use and wellbeing among young people. The findings have provided much needed evidence on this new topic and the authors have submitted written evidence to the House of Commons Health and Social Care Committee on children and young people's mental health - the role of education. The findings have also contributed to public debate on young people's screen and social media use through media reports and interviews. (Note: No change to policy or advice yet, but possible). 9. A research paper from the IFS examined wage progression and the gender wage gap. This research was references by a House of Commons Library briefing paper 'The gender pay gap'. This research was also included in the Insights 2018-19 report. 10. The House of Lords Intergenerational Fairness and Provision Select Committee used evidence from the Study on whether people who stay in work after the State Pension age are relatively less well-off than those who retire. The research quoted shows that "decisions to continue working after State Pension age 'were not strongly associated with financial difficulty'" The report is currently awaiting Government response and debate. 11. Home Office Indicators of Integration Framework 2019 uses Understanding Society as one of its key data sources. The Framework provides practical support for developing strategies, monitoring services and evaluating integration interventions. UKHLS was used for interactions with health services, life satisfaction, access to local services and facilities, GP visits, language spoken in the home and whether people like their neighbourhood. 12.

A Plan for Jobs, HM Treasury and Chancellor of the Exchequer policy paper, July 2020 Informing policy implementation/practice, improvements to existing policy 16. The Commission on Local Tax Reform report (Study referenced in the technical annex and compendium of evidence) for Scottish Government - the recommendations from the report were acted upon and changed existing policy. 17. A research paper Selective schooling systems increase inequality appeared in media reports and was referenced by the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology in a POSTbrief Academic Evidence on Selective Secondary Education. This POSTbrief including this research was then referenced in a House of Commons Library briefing paper Grammar Schools in England. This briefing was accompanied by a discussion of the policy background relating to grammar schools in England including the recent confirmation that a ban on new grammar schools will remain. 18. PHE and NICE commissioned research to examine geographical variation in youth smoking across England. The small area estimates on youth smoking have been incorporated into PHE's Local Health tool, which aims to improve availability and accessibility for health and health-related information in England. The estimates have also been included in PHE's Local Tobacco Control Profiles, designed to help local government and health services to assess the effect of tobacco use on their local populations. More information in the impact case study. 19. Public Health England draws on research, included research using the Study (notably by Emerson and colleagues - link 1, link 2), to produce their People with Learning Disabilities reports. These reports provide concise and high quality information about the health and healthcare of people with learning disabilities to inform healthcare delivery. 20. The Children's Society uses Study data in reports for their 'Seriously Awkward' Campaign (seriously awkward report, crumbling futures report). The campaign focuses on 16 and 17 year olds and the transition to adulthood. The campaign resulted in revised Department for Education guidance around the need to support 16 and 17 year olds in their adulthood transitions (Working Together to safeguard children). 21. The mental health charity Mind hosted a parliamentary event at Westminster to discuss the impact of housing on mental health, based on research they carried out using Understanding Society. The event involved people with mental health problems, MPs, Mind volunteers and social housing representatives from around the country. The theme of the event was 'Beyond Bricks' and aimed to kick-start discussion in Westminster on ensuring that the rights of people with mental health problems are considered in the housing agenda. The event was based on research carried out by Mind using Understanding Society data to explore the links between housing and mental health. 22. The Social Mobility Commission used the Study for the report on Adult skills gap and the falling investment in adults with low qualifications. The report found that disadvantaged adults with the lowest qualifications are the least likely to access adult training despite being the group who would benefit most and that graduates are 3 times more likely to receive training than those with no qualifications, while professionals and managers are about twice as likely to receive training as lower-skilled workers. 23. The IFS used UKHLS in their report on Universal Credit and its impact on household incomes. The report looked at look at the effects of universal credit on people's incomes over eight years of their lives and the impact on those that are persistently, rather than temporarily, low income. 24.

They found a greater gap between average adult wage in the local area and the adult national minimum wage, the higher the probability of young people being in full-time education at 18. 115. Curnock and colleagues examined changes in disability benefits (alongside moves to unemployment benefits and employment) on health. They found no health differences in those moving from current disability benefits to new out-of-work disability benefits. Whilst it is uncommon for disability benefit claimants to return to the labour market (unemployment or employment), those who did had improved mental health. 116. Thomas and colleagues exploited a staged rollout to compare between population sub-groups. Their research on the impact of the plastic carrier bag charge suggested that people used their own shopping bags more often where the charge existed (Wales, compared to England and Scotland), but that this positive environmental behaviour did not encourage the adoption of further sustainable behaviours 117. Mohan and colleagues exploited a natural control group in their evaluation of Neighbourhood Renewal in Northern Ireland on health. They found limited evidence of the effect of the neighbourhood renewal programme on health improvements, but suggested this approach could protect areas from widening health inequalities. 118.

In turn, this may influence policy development. Informing the design or delivery of products and services 1. Age UK created an Index of Wellbeing in Later Life using data from Understanding Society. Age UK intend to update the Index over time. Age UK is using the Index to inform their policy and practical work. Local Age UK branches are using early insights to think about how to target their support services at people at risk of low wellbeing. The Index has already been used successfully to inform a funding bid for services to offer creative and cultural activities to older people in Oxfordshire. There is also interest from local councils who want to understand wellbeing amongst older people in their area. The charity has engaged members of the House of Lords keen to champion evidence-based actions to target resources and effort effectively. 2. Berkeley group commissioned a report, conducted by researchers from academia and a social enterprise, Creating strong communities: How to measure the social sustainability of new housing developments. A measure of social sustainability was developed, which the Berkeley group use as a benchmark for testing their new developments with the aim of demonstrating good practice and learning lessons. 3. CACI uses data from Understanding Society on health behaviours and lifestyle, benefits and environmental groups to enhance its Acorn classification system. CACI use the Acorn classification system for its own services and provides the compiled codes to Understanding Society for linking in the Understanding Society Acorn dataset (SN 7453) available to researchers via Special Licence. 4. The Social Market Foundation, supported by Post Office Ltd, produced a report exploring familial financial support. Post Office Ltd states 'As a financial services provider we're committed to developing financial products that help solve real problems British consumers are having and are proud to work with the Social Market Foundation to examine the implications of our interconnected financial future'. 5. The UK Infrastructure Transitions Research Consortium (ITRC) has used UKHLS to develop PopNation, model which projects future demographic changes and the impact this will have on the size and composition of the population and households in the UK. The model will allow policymakers and planners to see where new developments and housing stock might be needed - no obvious impact yet, but will be rolled out to planners in the near future and feed into UN work. Designing strategies/approaches/campaigns 6. The Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (CIPD) commissioned research, undertaken by the consultancy Tooley Street Research and sponsored by the John Lewis Partnership, into barriers to pay progression for low-paid workers. The research was commissioned to inform the CIPD's public policy work and increase the evidence base on progression from low-paid work. The CIPD have cited the findings from this research in their engagement with policymakers and other key stakeholders. The findings from the report attracted significant media coverage, including an article in the Financial Times and in the management trade press. 7. Sainsbury's have commissioned NatCen to evaluate their 'living well' campaign via a survey; NatCen plan to use Understanding Society as a national benchmark. 8. The PwC report Quality of life: leisure impacts, commissioned by the Airports Authority, examined the impacts of leisure travel on own wellbeing. This research was used in the Airport Commission's final report, which recommended the expansion of aviation capacity by building a new runway at Heathrow airport. 9. The Shelter and National Housing Federation research briefing 'Stop DSS Discrimination' highlighted the extent of discrimination in the private rented sector. The report used Study data in setting the context for of the likely scale of discrimination against disabled Housing Benefit claimants. This research has led to a campaign by Shelter to end Housing Benefit discrimination in the private rented sector by targeting the policies and practices of letting agents, landlords and mortgage providers. 10. The Resolution Foundation set up the 'Intergenerational Commission' with policymakers, academics and business leaders with the aim of 'repairing the social contract between generations'. This was a major workstream for the Resolution Foundation across 2017-2018. Some of the research project under this umbrella used Study data (such as 'Home affairs: Options for reforming property taxation' and 'The million dollar be-question: Inheritances, gifts, and their implications for generational living standards'). 11. The Joseph Rowntree Foundation commissioned research into destitution in the UK. This research involved a primary survey of destitution and used Study data as a national comparator for those deemed to be living in 'severe poverty'. This report series has been influential, and was referenced in the statement on the visit to the UK by Professor Philip Alston, UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights. 12. The Bank of England has used Study data on mortgages in the Inflation report series (August 2018 and November 2017) and the Financial Stability report series (November 2017 and June 2017). 13. The Children's Society uses Study data in reports for their 'Seriously Awkward' Campaign (seriously awkward report, crumbling futures report). The campaign focuses on 16 and 17 year olds and the transition to adulthood. The campaign resulted in revised Department for Education guidance around the need to support 16 and 17 year olds in their adulthood transitions (Working Together to safeguard children). 14. The Social Market Foundation, supported by Vodafone UK, produced a report about parents and work. Vodafone runs schemes to help parents return to work after career breaks and has worked with the Women's Business Council and the Government Equalities Office to produce a Toolkit of best practice in this aim. The report provides policy recommendations on how policymakers and business leaders can support parents to return to work. 15.

Policy Influence Type	Implementation circular/rapid advice/letter to e.g. Ministry of Health
Impact	Many of the problems observed in retail financial markets are often underpinned by "suboptimal" consumer behaviour. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is keen to ensure regulation and interventions can more effectively identify and reduce consumer harm in these markets. Rapid advice was provided to the FCA in drafting new guidance on estimating and assigning monetary values to the benefits resulting from regulatory interventions aimed at addressing behavioural change or tackle lack of transparency. As a result of the guidance, policy makers are able to explore available cost-benefit techniques, data availability such as Understanding Society, and resourcing issues, improving the regulatory environment.

Impact	This analysis by HM Treasury set out the impact of government support on working households' incomes against the impact of earnings and job losses, comparing incomes in May 2020 to what they were in February this year. The data was used to monitor the impact of policy (rather than shape it), with the analysis showing that government interventions since March 2020 due to the pandemic have: - supported the poorest working households the most (as a proportion of February income) - been worth around a fifth of incomes for working households (on average) - reduced the scale of losses for working households by up to two-thirds.

The report cites analysis carried out using Understanding Society data which examined the distributional impact of government economic measures on household incomes. The Plan for Jobs was designed to support the UK's economic recovery while continuing to prioritise people's health by: - introducing a new Job Retention Bonus to encourage firms to keep on furloughed workers - supporting jobs with direct help to find work and to gain the skills people need to get a job - protecting jobs in the hard-hit hospitality and accommodation sectors and at attractions by supporting demand for these businesses, giving them confidence to reopen - creating jobs with action to get the property market moving, to increase and bring forward infrastructure investment, and to make homes greener, warmer and cheaper to heat.

Description	Onward: The State of our Social Fabric
Geographic Reach	National
Policy Influence Type	Citation in other policy documents
Impact	While the language of "left behind communities" and "forgotten towns" has become commonplace, data to explain the politics of belonging - in particular as asocial, and not simply economic, phenomenon - has been lacking. This analysis fills that gap. This research on the state of the social fabric of many places in Britain is supported by a cross-party group. In June 2020 the Prime Minister asked Danny Kruger MP for proposals to sustain the community spirit seen during the lockdown. "Levelling up our communities: proposals for a new social covenant", sets out a vision for a more local, more human, less bureaucratic, less centralised society in which people are supported and empowered to play an active role in their neighbourhoods. These proposals draw on Onward's state of the social fabric report. https://www.dannykruger.org.uk/sites/www.dannykruger.org.uk/files/2020-09/Kruger%202.0%20Levelling%20Up%20Our%20Communities.pdf

Geographic Reach	National
Policy Influence Type	Influenced training of practitioners or researchers
Impact	This training workshop on impact generation focused on the contribution of longitudinal research to social policy. The training was aimed at PhD Students from the UCL Biosocial Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT). One of four workshops over the course of the whole PhD, it looked at the impact process from start to finish, illustrated with actual case studies of where longitudinal research has made a difference. This opening session provided an overview of what impact is, why researchers should care about it, why it is important to build engagement, communications and influencing skills and what the main challenges are in achieving impact. Students were provided an opportunity to put this learning into practice and asked to come up with an 'impact plan' for a piece of research (drawn from real examples) - with feedback and recommendations provided. The event helped build capacity for impact amongst the next generation of researchers, and in particular how their biosocial research could make a difference through engagement with stakeholders.

Title	Creating tailored weights for UKHLS
Description	UKHLS data is very complex, and users now can create their own tailored weights, which reflect their analysis, combination of different instruments and waves. The online workshop teachers users when it is useful to create their own weights, and how to do it. This enabled many researchers and other users of the data to create a perfect weight for their (often complex) analysis.
Type Of Material	Improvements to research infrastructure
Year Produced	2022
Provided To Others?	Yes
Impact	Correct weighting is crucial in order to represent a population. Users now can create a tailored weight even if the use of instruments is very complex. The method is also suitable for longitudinal analysis of children, where data first comes from parents, and then follows from own responses.

Title	Understanding Society: COVID-19 Study, 2020-2021
Description	Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner. Understanding Society (UK Household Longitudinal Study), which began in 2009, is conducted by the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) at the University of Essex and the survey research organisations Kantar Public and NatCen. It builds on and incorporates, the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), which began in 1991. The Understanding Society COVID-19 Study, 2020-2021 is a regular survey of households in the UK. The aim of the study is to enable research on the socio-economic and health consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, in the short and long term. The surveys started in April 2020 and took place monthly until July 2020. From September 2020 onwards they take place every other month until March 2021 and the final wave was field in September 2021. They complement the annual interviews of the Understanding Society study. The data can be linked to data on the same individuals from previous waves of the annual interviews (SN 6614) using the personal identifier pidp. However, the most recent pre-pandemic (2019) annual interviews for all respondents who have taken part in the COVID-19 Study are included as part of this data release. Please refer to the User Guide for further information on linking in this way and for geographical information options. Further information can be found on the Understanding Society COVID-19 website, including Data documentation. A list of Understanding Society COVID-19 Research Outputs (regularly updated) is also available. Latest edition information For the eleventh edition (December 2021), revised April, May, June, July, September, November 2020, January 2021 and March 2021 data files for the adult survey have been deposited. These files have been amended to address issues identified during ongoing quality assurance activities. All documentation has been updated to explain the revisions, and users are advised to consult the documentation for details. In addition new data from the September 2021 web survey have been deposited. MAIN TOPICS The survey contains information about mental and physical health, health behaviours, caring, housing, employment, job search, income, education, family relationships, return to school and children's strength and difficulties questionnaire, young adults' future intentions. The survey also includes data on COVID-19 antibodies analysed from blood samples.

Title	Understanding Society: Ethnicity and Health Teaching Dataset Wave 1, 2009-2010
Description	Understanding Society (UK Household Longitudinal Study), which began in 2009, is conducted by the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) at the University of Essex and the survey research organisations Kantar Public and NatCen. It builds on and incorporates, the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), which began in 1991. This is a teaching resource for those who are new to data analysis. It is a step-by-step guide starting from exploring a survey, understanding the structure of the survey data and then using the data to do some simple exercises to measure differences in health and wellbeing across ethnic groups. The survey used here is Understanding Society: the UK Household Longitudinal Study which interviews individuals in the sampled households every year. To make it easier to use the teaching dataset accompanying this teaching resource only includes responses given by adults (16+ year olds) during the first interview to questions about ethnicity, health and wellbeing and some key socio-demographic characteristics such as age, sex, education, income, labour market status etc. The statistical software used to construct the dataset is Stata, but it is also available to download in SPSS and tab-delimited text formats.

Title	Understanding Society: Innovation Panel, Waves 1-11, 2008-2018
Description	The Innovation Panel is designed for experimental and methodological research relevant to longitudinal surveys. As far as practical its design, content, and data collection procedures are similar to the main stage Understanding Society survey. It is a multi-topic household survey representative of the population of Great Britain. Data collection takes place annually using computer assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) and computer assisted web interviewing (CAWI). One person completes the household questionnaire. Each person aged 16 or older answers the individual adult interview, including and self-completion questionnaire. Young people aged 10 to 15 years are asked to respond to a paper self-completion questionnaire. The Innovation Panel has multiple experimental studies in which households are randomly assigned to a particular instrument or survey procedure. Experiments can relate to survey procedures, questionnaire design, or substantive social science questions.

Title	Understanding Society: Innovation Panel, Waves 1-13, 2008-2020
Description	The Innovation Panel is designed for experimental and methodological research relevant to longitudinal surveys. As far as practical its design, content, and data collection procedures are similar to the main stage Understanding Society survey. It is a multi-topic household survey representative of the population of Great Britain. Data collection takes place annually using computer assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) and computer assisted web interviewing (CAWI). One person completes the household questionnaire. Each person aged 16 or older answers the individual adult interview, including and self-completion questionnaire. Young people aged 10 to 15 years are asked to respond to a paper self-completion questionnaire. The Innovation Panel has multiple experimental studies in which households are randomly assigned to a particular instrument or survey procedure. Experiments can relate to survey procedures, questionnaire design, or substantive social science questions. The experiments are described in the User Manual and in Understanding Society Working Papers. Wave 12 included an experiment involving the collection of biomeasures by nurses, interviewers and respondents themselves. The biomeasures included in the experiment were: height, weight, blood pressure, venous and dried blood samples and hair samples. Biomarkers have been derived from the different blood and hair samples to compare analytes across sample types. Due to COVID-19 Wave 13 was implemented using computer assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) and web surveys. There are two primary versions of the Innovation Panel data. One is available under the standard End User Licence (EUL) agreement, and the other is a Special Licence (SL) version (available under SN 7083). The SL version contains month and year of birth variables in addition to age, county variables, more detailed country and occupation coding for a number of variables; and various income variables have not been top-coded (see the documentation available with the SL version for more detail on the differences). In addition, there are a number of SL geographical datasets that are designed to be used in conjunction with the primary datasets. Low- and Medium-level geographical identifiers are also available subject to SL access conditions and fine detail geographic data are available under more restrictive Secure Access conditions that contains British National Grid postcode grid references (at 1m resolution) for the unit postcode of each household surveyed. Further information may be found on the Understanding Society main stage webpage and links to publications based on the study can be found on the Understanding Society Latest Research webpage. Latest edition information For the twelfth edition (October 2021), Wave 13 has been deposited with accompanying documentation, and Waves 10 to 12 redeposited with some value label changes only. See the documentation file '6849_ip_waves_1-12_changes_collated.pdf' for details of the changes. Co-funders In addition to the Economic and Social Research Council, co-funders for the study included the Department of Work and Pensions, the Department for Education, the Department for Transport, the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, the Department for Community and Local Government, the Department of Health, the Scottish Government, the Welsh Assembly Government, the Northern Ireland Executive, the Department of Environment and Rural Affairs, and the Food Standards Agency. MAIN TOPICS The survey instrument is constructed using modules. For a fuller listing of modules and questionnaire content see the ISER Innovation Panel Dataset Documentation webpage. Experiments are described in the User Manual for the Innovation Panel. The household questionnaire includes a composition listing of all household members and collects information about gender, date of birth, marital and employment status, and relationship to the household respondent. The household questionnaire also has questions about housing, mortgage or rent payments, material deprivation, and consumer durables and cars. The individual interview is asked of every person in the household aged 16 or over, and covers: demographics, baseline information, family background, ethnicity and national identity; religion; partnership and fertility histories; health, disability and caring; current employment and earnings; parenting and childcare arrangements; contact with non-resident children; benefit payments; and household finances. Some modules are carried in selective waves - see the User Manual. A proxy module, a much shortened version of the individual questionnaire, collects demographic, health, and employment information, as well as a summary income measure. The adult self-completion questionnaire was a pencil-and-paper instrument (PAPI) at Waves 1 and 3, and in Waves 4-7 included an experimental comparison with Computer Assisted Self-Completion (CASI). It includes subjective questions, particularly those which are potentially sensitive or require more privacy. It covers feelings of depression, sleep behaviour, neighbourhood participation and belonging, life satisfaction, and attributes of friends. There was no adult self-completion questionnaire at Wave 2. The youth self-completion questionnaire (also PAPI) is given to children aged 10-15 years in the household. It covers computer and technology use; relationships with parents; feelings about areas of life; Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ); and educational plans.

Title	Understanding Society: Waves 1-10, 2009-2019 and Harmonised BHPS: Waves 1-18, 1991-2009
Description	Understanding Society (UK Household Longitudinal Study), which began in 2009, is conducted by the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER), at the University of Essex, and the survey research organisations are Kantar Public and NatCen. It builds on and incorporates, the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), which began in 1991. The latest release combines the first 10 waves of Understanding Society data with harmonised data from all eighteen waves of the BHPS. As multi-topic studies, the purpose of Understanding Society and BHPS is to understand short- and long-term effects of social and economic change in the UK at the household and individual levels. The study has a strong emphasis on domains of family and social ties, employment, education, financial resources, and health. Understanding Society is an annual survey of a nationally representative sample of persons of all ages. The same individuals are re-interviewed in each wave approximately 12 months apart, along with other current household members. When individuals move they are followed within the UK . The study has five sample components: the general population sample (GPS), a boost sample of ethnic minority group members, an immigrant and ethnic minority boost sample (from wave 6), participants from the BHPS and the Innovation Panel (which is a separate standalone survey). The fieldwork period lasts 24 months for each wave. Data collection primarily uses computer assisted personal interviewing (CAPI), but includes a telephone mop up, and from Wave 7, web-based interviews. One person completes the household questionnaire. Each person aged 16 or older participates in the individual adult interview and self-completed questionnaire. Youths aged 10 to 15 are asked to respond to a paper self-completion questionnaire. For the GPSand BHPS samples biomarker, genetic and epigenetic data are also available.

Description	Presented 4th SERISS training course on Cross-national Longitudinal Data Analysis
Organisation	European Commission
Department	Horizon 2020
Country	European Union (EU)
Sector	Public
PI Contribution	Synergies for Europe's Research Infrastructures in the Social Sciences (SERISS), aims to equip Europe's social science data infrastructures to play a major role in addressing the key societal challenges facing Europe today and ensure that national and European policymaking is built on a solid base of the highest-quality socio-economic evidence. The project brings together leading European Research Infrastructures in the social sciences - the European Social Survey (ESS ERIC), the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE ERIC) and Consortium of European Social Science Data Archives (CESSDA ERIC) - alongside organisations representing the Generations and Gender Programme (GGP), European Values Study (EVS) and the WageIndicator Survey. It aims to exploit potential synergies and overcome existing fragmentation across infrastructures in order to enhance the key role played by these infrastructures, which form the bedrock of empirical social science in Europe. SERISS Work Package 5, Training and Dissemination, addresses specific training of staff working in cross-national social science research and infrastructures. The work package aims to design trainings and training materials for tools developed in SERISS and to provide training on data management, data handling and harmonisation, as well as on statistical analysis to a wider social science community. By sharing resources and skills training will have considerable value beyond infrastructure specific initiatives. The SERISS project therefore develops a programme of face-to-face training events and online resources to disseminate learning from the project among other researchers and social science infrastructures. I have presented the 4th and final training course in this programme, drawing on my extensive knowledge of the Understanding Society, SOEP and CNEF studies and my heavy involvement in developing and delivering hands-on training workshop. In the next couple of months there will be a webinar on the substantive content of the course.
Collaborator Contribution	SERISS network organised the training course, advertised it, provided the facilities and hosted the hands-on training workshop. The course was well-received and reached a network of researchers to whom analysis of panel data is very new. (More than 120 analysts applied to attend the course of whom 25 were invited to participate).
Impact	Five worksheets illustrating longitudinal analysis of panel data have been produced and were shared with the course participants. Syntax files to replicate the analysis has been shared also. A webinar will be recorded and posted on the SERISS website.

The intended purpose of this presentation was to show our progress, challenges and future plans with this software and to receive feedback from other Colectica Designer/DDI users. We received positive feedback and suggestions, which has improved our knowledge about using Colectica for this specific purpose and how others use the software.

Geographic Reach	International
Primary Audience	Professional Practitioners
Results and Impact	Insights 2021: Parents and children - how one generation influences the next Covid-19, like the 2008 Great Recession, is having a differential impact across generations but intergenerational solidarity is vital to a cohesive society. This means ensuring support for the older generation as their needs rise or change, whilst also looking out for the younger generation in response to their aspirations and the enormous economic, housing and mental health pressures they face. A fair 'social contract' relies not simply on understanding the transmission of goods and finance ('the Bank of Mum and Dad') between different types of families but also the nature of services and cultural transfers between generations, including transfers 'up' from children to parents. What is the dynamic nature of the relationship between parents and their children and how does each influence the other or respond to their changing needs? How are disadvantages transferred from one generation to the next to shape children's outcomes? From the geo-dynamics of caring to gender attitudes, how are the generations influencing or supporting each other? Hosted by the Understanding Society Policy and Partnerships team, our speakers explored these issues with time for questions and debate.

Using new data from the Understanding Society COVID-19 Study collected regularly between April and November 2020 in the UK, we study the labour market shocks that individuals have experienced through the pandemic. We document the steps they and their households took to cope with those shocks and the extent of financial resilience. We show the importance of private transfers and the use of debt. We elicit individuals' willingness to spend unanticipated one-off payments. Individuals report an extremely low tendency to increase spending following such payments, both in lockdown and outside of lockdown.

Primary Audience	Professional Practitioners
Results and Impact	On Friday, 6th October, a team from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) travelled to ISER to meet up with survey experts to discuss issues of common interest, and to learn from each other's experience. Both the ONS and ISER are working innovative and experimental research to improve the quality and cost effectiveness of data collection. Representatives from the ONS discussed the Social Survey Transformation project, which will transform the way in which the ONS uses surveys, with greater focus on online surveys and the use of administrative data to complement and, for some measures, replace survey data. Presentations covered the way in which respondent materials are being re-designed, using experiments to gauge the effectiveness of different designs of letter and envelope, the methods used to transform questionnaire content and design, and the effects that changes in survey design has on the take-up of the online survey. Taking up the subject of online surveys, ISER shared with the ONS the lessons we have learned from using Understanding Society, and the Innovation Panel (IP). The presentation covered the mode experiments on the IP, and the work that has been done to model the likelihood of a sample member completing online, and how this has been used on the main-stage. The Wave 8 adaptive design was also discussed, where we have been experimenting with methods to increase the proportion of web-first households that fully complete online. In the afternoon, the focus switched to the collection of data about household finances. The ONS Household Finance Survey Transformation Lead, spoke about the need to rationalise the large number of separate surveys and integrate them into a single design which would have administrative data at the heart. Representatives from ISER then presented the work that we have been doing on understanding household finances through improving measurement. This covered a number of projects underway at ISER: linking survey responses to process-generated data; improving the way we impute missing information between surveys; asking survey participants to reconcile their household budget in the IP; and using new technologies to capture objective data, using the Spending Study carried out on the IP. The workshop concluded with a discussion of common challenges and opportunities, and a commitment to continue sharing insights and experiences on these issues.

Geographic Reach	National
Primary Audience	Policymakers/politicians
Results and Impact	With quality of work, productivity, public health and closing the disability employment gap higher on the policy agenda, there is a need for more precise research on the complex relationship between health and the fast changing nature of employment. Traditionally, links between work and health have been examined through self-reported measures of health and health functioning in population surveys (which can contain distortions) or through employer surveys. Combining rich employment and other information on work with biological information, in particular the collection of physical measurements and biological markers (indicators that a biological process in the body has happened or is ongoing) through large longitudinal studies, is offering the prospect of better understanding the association between environmental factors and health - and the possible causal pathways and transmission mechanisms at play. This event will bring together policy advisors and researchers from across government departments, public health agencies, Health and Safety Executive, human resource professionals, local economic development and health organisations, transport bodies, trade unions and charities. The purpose of the event is to: hear about leading edge biosocial research findings from his emerging field of social science; discuss policy implications flowing from the research; learn about biosocial research and discuss the opportunities and barriers to policy adoption

Results and Impact	Understanding Society has a very complex survey structure and this needs to be taken into account in any analysis in order to infer results to a population. An easy way to take the structure into account correctly is by using weights alongside strata and clustering adjustments. This course aims to explain what weights take into account in Understanding Society. First, we will describe how weights are created. We will then provide guidance on how to select the best weight for a range of analyses. The course will then expand on how to create a tailored weight for a specific analysis, when this can make a difference and will be worth the effort, and will walk you step by step on creating such weights in a hands-on session. This was conducted online by the study's survey statistician, Dr. Kaminska.

Primary Audience	Professional Practitioners
Results and Impact	Longitudinal surveys are crucial resources for analysing and understanding how economic and social behaviour change over time. Because they provide repeated observations of the same observational units over time, they enable researchers to answer a host of questions about how individual heterogeneous units respond to economic and social factors. However, the longitudinal nature of these studies results in complex patterns of missing data. The interaction of attrition and time-varying nonresponse with the rich features of longitudinal surveys (such as rotating content) and the multipurpose nature of such studies results in a multiplicity of patterns of missingness for researchers analysing the data in different ways or for different purposes. A frontier in the provision of data for social science and biosocial research is the linkage of survey data with administrative and other external sources of data. This allows administrative data to be leveraged by the addition of information from survey questions on quantities that are not measured in the administrative data, and vice versa. But data linkage results in complete cases only for the intersection of cases that are complete in both the survey and administrative data. Moreover, the linkage processes itself can result in additional missing data, through lack of consent or failure to match. Linking external data to longitudinal surveys, while offering enormous opportunities, further complicates the missing data challenges inherent in such surveys. Developing new methods to address the challenges caused by these missing data problems is a research area of first-order importance. This workshop brings together statisticians, econometricians, survey designers, and data users to discuss new results and open questions in this important research area. The workshop will discuss practical experience in collecting and using panel data, advances in statistical and econometric methods to address missing data problems, and applications of these methods to important research questions. The workshop will conclude with a panel discussion on the current state of knowledge, open research questions, and promising avenues of research. Confirmed workshop speakers will include Chris Bollinger (Kentucky), Peter Lynn (Essex), Jamie Moore (Southampton), Megan McMinn (Glasgow), Lars Nesheim (UCL), George Ploubidis (UCL) and Jeff Wooldridge (Michigan State).
