Social surveys have given insights into the lifestyles, attitudes, finances, employment and inequalities in the population for over 50 years.
Never have these data been more romania rcs data important than now during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The UK Data Service holds several key datasets that provide a wealth of data that can be used to describe the population in a variety of contexts. The cross-sectional survey data give a snapshot of the population at one point in time. The longitudinal studies allow the exploration of change over time.
The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked many questions about the health, social and economic effects on our nations. We can start to understand the questions raised through social survey data.
