Census Applications: Using the UK's population census data

16-17 July 2015 - There were two accepted CPC papers at this annual conference, which took place at the University of Manchester.

Now that nearly all census outputs are out and being used, the UK Data Service hosted a two-day conference to celebrate the UK censuses.

CPC members presented two papers at this conference:

The prevalence of informal care and its association with health: longitudinal research using census data for England and Wales
Jane Falkingham, Maria Evandrou, James Robards, Athina Vlachantoni

Estimating the fertility of immigrants before and after migration to England and Wales
James Robards, Ann Berrington

Other conference papers covered both analysis and methods. Census methods included policy issues, statistical principles and technological innovation relating to census design, output and dissemination as well as statistical approaches to analysing the final products. Census findings included, inter alia, those which relate to; social outcomes, divisions and difference, social change, geographical patterns and mobility. Analyses used a mixture of sources and could draw on aggregate, flow or microdata including longitudinal or historical microdata sources.
