I need stats about the UK population. Where do you get yours. I need them about a specific group in work.

I look at national statistics, and I've had a nosey through the UK data archive (ESDS) to no avail. Any ideas?

The only place I've really used is the Office for National Statistics stuff, but it depends what exactly you're after. If you're lucky they've done an analysis that's exactly what you need. But doesn't always work out - they did an analysis in 1991 that was perrfect for the justification for my research, but they haven't repeated since, and I've been criticised for using such old data in my research, but what can you do if they don't provide what you need?!

yeah, I'm having the same issues. I have a charity that has done some analysis on ONS data, but its very vaugue and probably not reliable. It was also done in 2001, and the population I'm studying is changing rapidly so is pretty out of date.
