Session Programme
| 9.15-10.45 | Using UK Census Data in your Research: the ESRC/JISC Census Programme |
Chair: Dave Martin, ESRC Census Programme Co-ordinator |
|
| Results from the UK censuses are processed by the national statistical agencies to provide a rich range of data products, offering an unrivalled wealth of statistical and geographical detail on the UK population. The ESRC/JISC Census Programme provides access and expert support for research users of the census, with the most comprehensive holdings of computer-readable census outputs since 1971, mostly available online. The aim of this session is to explain the variety of data resources available and to demonstrate some of the ways in which the programme can support your research needs. Following an overview of census essentials by the programme coordinator, the session will take the form of a series of case studies of how research users can take advantage of the principal census data resources: |

|

|
