The project ran from 2012-2014 and was led from the UK Data Archive, University of Essex, in collaboration with the Cathie Marsh Institute for Social Research (CMIST) at the University of Manchester and the Census Offices. In addition to the 1981 data, the team worked on files from the 1961 Census and 1971 Census. The original 1981 records preceded current data archival standards and were created before microdata sets for secondary use were anticipated. A process of data recovery and quality checking was necessary to maximise their utility for current researchers, though some imperfections remain (see the User Guide for details). Three other 1981 Census datasets have been created: <ul><li>SN 8241 - 1981 Census Microdata Individual File for Great Britain: 5% Sample, which contains information on individuals in larger local authorities, and is available to registered UK Data Service users based in the United Kingdom (see Access section for non-UK access restrictions);</li><li>SN 8243 - 1981 Census Microdata Teaching Dataset for Great Britain: 1% Sample: Open Access, which can be used as a taster file and is freely available for anyone to download under an Open Government Licence; and</li><li>SN 8248 - 1981 Census Microdata for Great Britain: 9% Sample: Secure Access, which comprises a larger population sample and so contains sufficient information to constitute personal data, meaning that it is only available to Accredited Researchers, under restrictive Secure Access conditions.</li></ul>Main Topics: The file links household members together to allow individuals to be understood within their household context. Topics covered include demographics, for example family and household circumstances, employment and qualifications, migration, commuting, car ownership, and housing. 2012 - 201401 January 201201 January 2014 Great Britain Families/householdsNational Respondents to the 1981 Census Numeric Repeated cross-sectional studyThe Census is conducted once every 10 years 0.95% sample of the 1981 Census Compilation or synthesis of existing material The Data Collection is available to UK Data Service registered users subject to the <a href="https://ukdataservice.ac.uk/app/uploads/cd137-enduserlicence.pdf" target="_blank">End User Licence Agreement</a>.Commercial use is not permitted.Access is limited to users based in the UK or in countries deemed by the UK to have an adequate level of data protection as follows: European Economic Area (EEA) countries or Andorra, Argentina, Faroe Islands, Guernsey, Israel, Isle of Man, Japan, Jersey, Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Switzerland, Uruguay.Access requests from users not in the above categories will be subject to approval by the depositor.
