WISER Social Sciences: Statistical Data Mark Janes Social Sciences Subject Consultant

Do you have a data question? What is the GDP of Nigeria? How popular is the government of Bolivia? What is the global commodity price of Nutmeg? Where can I find post-1945 election results for London? What is the happiest country in the World?

Not just a number … Multiple years Multiple variables Cross-national Data standards Collection methods Sources

Migrant jobs fiasco: Official estimate goes from 800,000 to 1.5m in 24 hours Immigration, Home Office statistics and a catastrophic cover-up of 300,000 foreign workers The 300,000 'missing' illegal immigrants

Politics, practicalities, or both? First estimate from the International Passenger Survey (IPS) “a survey of a random sample of passengers entering and leaving the UK by air, sea or the Channel Tunnel” Extra 300,000 found after analysis of the Labour Force Survey “a quarterly sample survey of households living at private addresses in Great Britain” Final revised estimate from National Insurance registrations

Who is counting?

Multiple sources of published data Web sites of NGOs, IGOs etc. Popular data Web sites (e.g. NationMaster) National archives and data services Commercial databases Central statistical offices Researcher Web pages Data visualization sites Newspapers Data in research papers
