Living standards data available on request
The Centre for Social Research and Evaluation’s Living Standards research programme has produced a rich source of information that will help researchers, policy makers across sectors, communities and government agencies to develop sound policies to address both living standards and wellbeing more generally.
“The dataset contains information on many matters other than living standards, such as family structure, labour market participation, education, disability and health, to name just some of the areas,” John Jensen, lead researcher on the project, says.
The Centre would like to see this information used as widely as possible, and welcomes inquiries from people who wish either to extend the research reported here or to use the data to look at new topics and questions.
