This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for the UK Armed Forces veterans population by age and sex in Scotland.

Armed Forces veterans

Individuals who previously served in the UK Armed Forces are included in the numbers published on Armed Forces veterans. The numbers exclude individuals who are currently serving in the UK Armed Forces. We applied a specific quality assurance process to identify currently serving individuals who incorrectly responded that they had previously served in the UK Armed Forces and removed them from this category.

Age

A person's age on Census Day, 20 March 2022. Infants aged under 1 year are classified as 0 years of age.

Sex

This is the sex recorded by the person completing the census. The options were "Female" and "Male". Guidance on answering the question can be found here

The quality assurance report can be found here

Contains data from the World Bank's data portal. There is also a consolidated country dataset on HDX.

The supply of labor available in an economy includes people who are employed, those who are unemployed but seeking work, and first-time job-seekers. Not everyone who works is included: unpaid workers, family workers, and students are often omitted, while some countries do not count members of the armed forces. Data on labor and employment are compiled by the International Labour Organization (ILO) from labor force surveys, censuses, establishment censuses and surveys, and administrative records such as employment exchange registers and unemployment insurance schemes.

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.BackgroundThe British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey series began in 1983. The series is designed to produce annual measures of attitudinal movements to complement large-scale government surveys that deal largely with facts and behaviour patterns, and the data on party political attitudes produced by opinion polls. One of the BSA's main purposes is to allow the monitoring of patterns of continuity and change, and the examination of the relative rates at which attitudes, in respect of a range of social issues, change over time. Some questions are asked regularly, others less often. Funding for BSA comes from a number of sources (including government departments, the Economic and Social Research Council and other research foundations), but the final responsibility for the coverage and wording of the annual questionnaires rests with NatCen Social Research (formerly Social and Community Planning Research). The BSA has been conducted every year since 1983, except in 1988 and 1992 when core funding was devoted to the British Election Study (BES).Further information about the series and links to publications may be found on the NatCen Social Research British Social Attitudes webpage. Main Topics:Each year, the BSA interview questionnaire contains a number of 'core' questions, which are repeated in most years. In addition, a wide range of background and classificatory questions is included. The remainder of the questionnaire is devoted to a series of questions (modules) on a range of social, economic, political and moral issues - some are asked regularly, others less often. Cross-indexes of those questions asked more than once appear in the reports. In the 1993 survey, as well as the standard demographic and classificatory items, the following topics were covered: government spending and the National Health Service; labour market participation, the workplace, redundancy and employee decision-making; AIDS; primary and secondary school education; Northern Ireland; charitable giving; illegal drugs; sexual relations; the countryside; transport and the environment; European Community; economic issues and policies (including income and taxation); social security benefits and child maintenance; the environment (ISSP module); environmental consumerism.

This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify usual residents in England and Wales who have previously served in the UK armed forces by whether they reside in communal establishments and in households. The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021.

This does not include people who are currently serving in the UK armed forces.

Residence type

Whether a person lives in a household or a communal establishment.

People who completed the normal household questionnaire were recorded as living in a household. Those who completed an individual questionnaire were asked if they lived in a household or a communal establishment.

Area type

Census 2021 statistics are published for a number of different geographies. These can be large, for example the whole of England, or small, for example an output area (OA), the lowest level of geography for which statistics are produced. For higher levels of geography, more detailed statistics can be produced. When a lower level of geography is used, such as output areas (which have a minimum of 100 persons), the statistics produced have less detail. This is to protect the confidentiality of people and ensure that individuals or their characteristics cannot be identified.

Lower Tier Local Authorities

Lower tier local authorities provide a range of local services. In England there are 309 lower tier local authorities. These are made up of non-metropolitan districts (181), unitary authorities (59), metropolitan districts (36) and London boroughs (33, including City of London). In Wales there are 22 local authorities made up of 22 unitary authorities. Of these local authority types, only non-metropolitan districts are not additionally classified as upper tier local authorities.

Census 2021 occupation data for people aged 16 years and older and in employment, by age and sex, is part of The occupations and industries most dependent on older and younger workers: March 2021, a release of results from the 2021 Census for England and Wales. Figures may differ slightly in future releases because of the impact of removing rounding and applying further statistical processes.

Some shorthand may be used in this workbook. Individual estimates suppressed with "[c]" relate to statistics based on a small number of respondents (< 10). Such values have been suppressed on quality grounds and to maintain confidentiality.

Armed forces personnel and defence employees are included in the census and recorded as usually resident using the standard definitions. The instructions given to personnel on how to respond to the census mean that this group cannot be reliably identified in census data on industry and occupation. Information on the size and characteristics of the UK armed forces population is produced by the Ministry of Defence (MOD).

Quality assurance information can be found here

Occupation

Occupation is classified using the Standard Occupation Classification 2020 version. Details can be found here.

Industry

The dataset was created as part of the Victorian Census Project at Staffordshire University.
The main aims of the project were to computerise the 1861 Census Reports, the Registrar General's Annual Report for 1861 and the Registrar General's Decennial Supplement for 1851-60. Further information about the Victorian Census Project can be found at:
http://www.staffs.ac.uk/census>
http://www.staffs.ac.uk/census
Main Topics:

The dataset consists of two files, each containing data for registration districts in 1861.
The main file contains 114 variables relating to : buildings and dwellings; male and female population; marriages 1851-61; births 1851-61; deaths 1851-61; ages of males and females; marital status of males and females aged 20 and over; disabilities and institutionalised populations; birthplaces of the population; occupations and employment status of males and females aged 20 and over; causes of death 1851-61; and ages at death 1851-61.
The secondary file contains 17 variables relating to: grid references; percentage change in population 1851-61; population density; gender ratio; males employed in textiles per 1000; males employed in metals per 1000; males in the armed forces per 1000; agricultural workers per 1000 males; males in mining and bricks per 1000; males in manufacturing per 1000; women domestic servants per 1000.

Please note: this study does not include information on named individuals and would therefore not be useful for personal family history research.

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey (NILT) series began in 1998, and was the successor to the previous Northern Ireland Social Attitudes series, which was discontinued in 1996.The main aims of the NILT series are: to monitor public attitudes towards social policy and political issues in Northern Ireland; to provide a time series on attitudes to key social policy areas; to facilitate academic social policy analysis; to provide a freely available resource on public attitudes for the wider community of users in Northern Ireland. NILT originally had a companion series which also began in 1998, the Young Life and Times Survey (YLT), although the YLT methodology changed in 2003 and it is conducted separately each year. The Kids' Life and Times (KLT) survey of P7 children (10-11 year olds) is also part of the same suite of surveys as YLT and NILT.NILT also forms part of the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP), although it does not do so every year. Unfortunately, NILT did not run in 2011 due to funding issues, though YLT ran as normal that year; NILT resumed in 2012 (SN 7408). In addition, several open access teaching datasets were created by ARK (Access Research Knowledge) from various years of NILT, covering different topics such as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) issues, politics and community relations, attitudes to ageing and ageism, and dementia. Further information about the series may be found on the ARK NILT webpage. Main Topics: The 2017 NILT survey covered:respect;good relations;attitudes towards minority ethnic people;political attitudes and Brexit;attitudes to UK Armed Forces;community safety and perceptions of paramilitary influence;and background information on the respondents.The following anonymisation measures were undertaken by the survey team: the religion, family religion and partner's religion variables have been recoded into a 3-way classification within the RELIGCAT variable. The ethnic background of the respondent has been removed, as has the variable relating to respondents' sexual orientation. Multi-stage stratified random sample

Dataset population: Persons

Second address location

The location of the second address.

A second address is an address at which a person stays for more than 30 days per year that is not a person's place of usual residence. This includes addresses that are in the UK and those outside the UK. Typical second addresses include:

• Armed Forces bases
• Addresses used by people working away from home
• A student's home address
• The address of another parent or guardian
• Holiday homes

If a person with a second address was staying at that address on census night, they were classed as a visitor to that address, but counted as a usual resident at their home address.

Second address type

The type of the second address.

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The UK censuses took place on 29th April 2001. They were run by the Northern Ireland Statistics & Research Agency (NISRA), General Register Office for Scotland (GROS), and the Office for National Statistics (ONS) for both England and Wales. The UK comprises the countries of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.Statistics from the UK censuses help paint a picture of the nation and how we live. They provide a detailed snapshot of the population and its characteristics, and underpin funding allocation to provide public services. The 2001 Individual Licenced Sample of Anonymised Records for Imputation Analysis (I-SAR) is a 3% sample of individuals for all countries of the United Kingdom, with approximately 1.84 million records. The data are available for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Information is included for each individual on the main demographic, health, socio-economic and household variables. The 3% sample is an increase by comparison with 2% in 1991. Some variables have been broad-banded to reduce disclosure risk. The lowest level of geography is the Government Office Region (GOR), although Inner and Outer London are separately identified. This represents a significant reduction by comparison with the 1991 where large Local Authorities (population 120,000 and over) were separately identified. This dataset contains 173 variables, including 84 imputation flag variables. The standard version, containing 89 I-SAR variables, is available under SN 7205.
