DATA ITEM LISTS


The Survey of Education and Work, 2011 (SEW) comprised a questionnaire. The questionnaire contained 9 modules and approximately 60 questions, which resulted in approximately 60 data items. Including data items obtained from the Labour Force Survey (LFS), there were approximately 100 data items on the SEW final file.

Users intending to purchase either the CURF or the Survey TableBuilder should ensure that the data they require, and the level of detail they need, are available in these products.
