The latest release of our Calendar Year datasets can now be accessed via the UK Data Service
As with all our Calendar Year datasets, the 2023 data is designed to enable timely cross-sectional analysis of individuals and households relating to the situation in 2023.
The dataset includes variables collected in every wave of Understanding Society, and does not include rotating content which is collected in only some waves. Due to overlapping fieldwork, the data file combines data collected in three waves of Understanding Society. The dataset include appropriate weights. You can find out more about the Calendar Year 2023 dataset by reading the User Guide.
