Understanding Society: Waves 1-14, 2009-2023: Special Licence Access, School Codes
Understanding Society (the 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 Verian Group (formerly Kantar Public) and NatCen. It builds on and incorporates, the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), which began in 1991. The Understanding Society: Special Licence Access, School Codes dataset contains school code variables for child respondents and adult respondents (all adults at Wave 1 and new entrants at subsequent waves) to Understanding Society. A household identification serial number is also included for file matching to the main data. See documentation for further details. These data have more restrictive access conditions than those available under the standard End User Licence (see 'Access data' tab for more information). Latest edition information For the 12th edition (November 2024) Wave 14 data have been added and the documentation updated. Variables include household identification number, school codes and school country codes for matching with Understanding Society data.
