<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><p><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 50); font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The UK censuses took place on </span>29th April 2001<span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 50); font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">. 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.</span><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 50); font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">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.</span></p>The <i>Controlled Access Microdata Sample Test File</i> (CAMS) test file is a sub-sample of 298,912 cases from the Individual CAMS from the 2001 Census. Variables have been perturbed to ensure that no sample members can be identified. Perturbation has retained the correct distribution of each variable but the relationships between variables will not give expected results. The test file can therefore be used to develop and test statistical software syntax for analyses before going to use the CAMS at the Office for National Statistics (ONS). It cannot be used to test exploratory analyses with any reliability, nor will it provide the ability to test statistical procedures which are dependent on distributions. It is not suitable for research purposes and has been provided only as a dummy dataset for preparing syntax in advance of using the CAMS file. The protection comes from perturbing multiple variables per person with a high probability of change and by providing no indication of whether a variable value has been perturbed. The CAMS test file only covers individuals in private households in England and Wales, and excludes students living away from their parental home and households of six people or more. These limitations do not apply to the full CAMS files. Other differences may apply in terms of variable availability. <br> <br> Further information about the Test CAMS may be found on the Cathie Marsh Centre for Survey Research <a href="http://www.ccsr.ac.uk/sars/" title="Samples of Anonymised Records">Samples of Anonymised Records</a> website. Users should consult the codebook for the full CAMS file prior to applying to use the data or preparing syntax. <br> <br> The application procedure for the full CAMS data is available on the ONS <a href="http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/about-ons/who-we-are/services/unpublished-data/census-data/individual-cams/index.html" title="Census 2001 Individual CAMS">Census 2001 Individual CAMS</a> and the <a href="http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/about-ons/who-we-are/services/unpublished-data/census-data/household-cams/index.html" title="Census 2001 Household CAMS">Census 2001 Household CAMS</a> webpages.<br> <br><B>Main Topics</B>:<BR><div>Accommodation type (brief)</div><div>Accommodation type (detailed)<br></div><div>Adults, Number Employed in Household<br></div><div>Adults, Number in Household<br></div><div>Age<br></div><div>Age of Family Reference Person (FRP)<br></div><div>Age of Household Reference Person (HRP)<br></div><div>Age of Students and Schoolchildren<br></div><div>Amenities<br></div><div>Armed Forces<br></div><div>Bath/Shower and Toilet, use of<br></div><div>Care (unpaid), Provision of<br></div><div>Care, Provision of<br></div><div>Carers and their Economic Activity, Number of<br></div><div>Cars and vans<br></div><div>Central heating<br></div><div>Children<br></div><div>Children, dependent<br></div><div>Communal Establishment Residents<br></div><div>Communal establishment, combined type and management<br></div><div>Concealed families<br></div><div>Country of birth<br></div><div>Country of Birth (additional categories)<br></div><div>Daytime Population<br></div><div>Dwelling Type<br></div><div>Economic Activity<br></div><div>Economic Activity of Associated People Resident in Households<br></div><div>Economic Activity of Full-time students<br></div><div>Economic Activity of Household Reference Person (HRP)<br></div><div>Ethnic group (England and Wales)<br></div><div>Ethnic group (England and Wales) of Household Reference Person<br></div><div>Family composition<br></div><div>Family status<br></div><div>Family type<br></div><div>Health, General<br></div><div>Hours worked<br></div><div>Household composition<br></div><div>Household composition (alternative classification)<br></div><div>Household dependent children<br></div><div>Household deprivation<br></div><div>Household Reference Person indicator<br></div><div>Household size<br></div><div>Household Space Type<br></div><div>Household Type<br></div><div>Households with students away during term-time<br></div><div>Industry<br></div><div>Industry, former<br></div><div>Limiting long-term illness<br></div><div>Limiting Long-Term Illness (LLTI), Household residents with<br></div><div>Limiting long-Term Illness, number of people with in household<br></div><div>Living arrangements<br></div><div>Living arrangements of Household Reference Person (HRP)<br></div><div>Lowest floor level<br></div><div>Marital status<br></div><div>Migration (armed forces)<br></div><div>Migration (Communal establishment)<br></div><div>Migration (People)<br></div><div>Multiple ethnic identifier<br></div><div>Occupancy Rating<br></div><div>Occupation (brief)<br></div><div>Occupation (detailed)<br></div><div>Occupation, former<br></div><div>Pensioner household<br></div><div>People aged 17 or over in household, Number of<br></div><div>Population Type<br></div><div>Public transport users in households<br></div><div>Qualifications (England and Wales)<br></div><div>Qualifications, highest level of (England and Wales)<br></div><div>Qualifications, professional<br></div><div>Religion (England and Wales)<br></div><div>Religion (England and Wales) of Household Reference Person<br></div><div>Resident Basis<br></div><div>Resident Type<br></div><div>Rooms in a dwelling, number of<br></div><div>Rooms, Number of<br></div><div>Rooms, Persons per<br></div><div>Sex<br></div><div>Sex of Household Reference Person (HRP)<br></div><div>Single Adult Households<br></div><div>Social Grade of Household Reference Person (HRP), approximated<br></div><div>Social Grade, approximated<br></div><div>Socio-economic Classification (NS-SeC)<br></div><div>Socio-economic Classification (NS-SeC) of Household Reference Person (HRP)</div><div>Socio-economic Classification (NS-SeC) of Household Reference Person (HRP), Main categories of<br></div><div>Student accommodation (Standard Output)<br></div><div>Student accommodation Type<br></div><div>Student status<br></div><div>Tenure<br></div><div>Tenure, dwelling<br></div><div>Time Since Last Worked<br></div><div>Travel to Work, distance<br></div><div>Travel to work, Means of<br></div><div>Travel to Work, Method of and Number of Employed People<br></div><div>Working Parents<br></div><div>Year last worked<br></div>The CAMS test file dataset includes information on household composition, housing conditions, Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD), socio-economic status, social class, gender, family generations, ethnicity, health, employment status, geography, education and migration.<br> <br>
