Questions were also included on respondents' areas of residence, current income, friendship patterns, political affiliations, etc. In order to construct a data set which would permit the investigation of trends in social mobility between 1972 and 1983, an extensive recoding excercise was undertaken. This involved the recoding of data for approximately one in six (N=1522) of respondents to the 1972 survey for whom information on both their present and their fathers' occupation was available. This information, which was originally coded to the 1970 OPCS system of occupational classification was recoded to the 1980 OPCS system. These data have now been merged with the main survey (although they can be supplied as a separate file). Occupational data from the British Election Study, 1983 (SN:2005) were recoded so as to become comparable with these data. It was hoped that the 'splicing' of the two studies would enable researchers to gain a clear idea of how mobility rates and patterns have changed in Britain over recent decades. 197201 January 1972 England and Wales IndividualsNationalMen Men aged between 20 and 64 and resident in England and Wales in 1972 Longitudinal/panel/cohortpart of the sample was re-interviewed in 1974 (SN:1358) Stratified two-stage: groups of wards and parishes were used as primary sampling units, selected in strata by population density, and the electoral registers for each primary unit were then taken as the frame for the random selection of individuals. For the recoding excercise, a systematic random sample of completed interview schedules was taken. These were sorted according to the primary sampling units of the 1972 enquiry Face-to-face interview 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 of the data requires approval from the data owner or their nominee.
