Webinar: Education in the long run – which data are available?

This webinar is jointly organised by the UK Data Service and CeLSIUS as part of the ESRC-funded data resources’ collaborative webinar series, ESRC data resources: discovering data and how to use it.

The webinar is for those who would like to know more about sources of data available for investigating education. It will focus particularly on longitudinal data but also touch on available cross-sectional sources.

The session will explore:

• The range of longitudinal data on education available from the UK Data Service, including harmonised data, such as ‘Understanding Society: Waves 1-8, 2009-2017′ and ‘Harmonised BHPS: Waves 1-18, 1991-2009‘
• The ONS Longitudinal Study, including the data structure, available research topics (with a focus on education) and procedures for access. Some results will be  presented on how education relates to economic activity status through the life-course in a historical sample of young men and women
• The value of using of longitudinal data for educational research purposes: case studies

The first 45 minutes of the webinar will be devoted to presentations from Beate Lichtwardt (UK Data Service) and Wei Xun (CeLSIUS), followed by 15 minutes of Q&A.
