Datasets

Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings linked to Migrant Workers Scan - England, Scotland and Wales

The Migrant Workers Scan is a standalone, but fully linkable, dataset based on the 1% sample of individuals included in the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE). The Migrant Workers Scan contains information on overseas nationals who have registered for, and been allocated, a National Insurance Number. The data is held by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and delivered annually by the Department for Work and Pensions to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings linked to PAYE and Self-Assessment data – England, Scotland and Wales

This dataset links the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) to Pay As You Earn (PAYE) and Self-Assessment data provided by His Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (HMRC). The linkage of ASHE with the PAYE data helps to address information gaps concerning changes in the labour market within the 12-month intervals between ASHE surveys. This has the potential to enhance our understanding of earnings and labour market transitions in Britain. Linking ASHE to PAYE and SA allows us to understand better a person’s whole interaction with the labour market.

Looked After Children Longitudinal Dataset - Scotland

This dataset brings together data of care placements and the legal basis for children being in the care of local authorities across Scotland. This allows understanding of changes in the patterns of care over time and geography, and the relationship with children’s characteristics including ethnicity, disability, and religion.

RAPID: Population interactions with employment, benefits and pensions - UK (coming soon)
