ADR UK is funding five Research Fellows to analyse the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) linked to the Census 2011 dataset. Their policy-relevant projects are investigating wage dynamics, employment patterns, and workforce inequality. The projects are the result of ADR UK Fellowship opportunities which invited applications to carry out research using eligible ADR England flagship datasets.
ADR UK is funding two Research Fellows to use the newly available Administrative Data | Agricultural Research Collection (AD|ARC) dataset to explore the socioeconomic characteristics and economic resilience of farming households. The successful Research Fellows, and the projects they carry out, are part of the ADR UK Fellowship programme, which promotes research using ADR UK flagship datasets.
This project will create a new research-ready dataset by linking housing data with other administrative and health data for England, Scotland and Wales. The project team will also develop tools to support researchers in using this data. This will enable new, policy-relevant insights into the make-up of households and the circumstances they experience.
