Description
The Skills Survey, 1997 was carried out in 1997 as part of the ESRC's 'Learning Society' programme of research, was designed to extend the evidence about trends over time in 'broad skills' such as the qualifications required for job entry, the length of time it takes to train and the period taken to learn to do a job well.
The Skills Survey, 1997 had the following objectives:
to develop further the concept of and methodology for measuring different types of skills using an individual-based survey
to investigate the impact of various antecedents on skills, including personal characteristics and, especially, forms of education and training
to investigate the impact of the possession of various skills on pay
to investigate which skills are changing during the 1990s, and to what extent
to investigate how skills are distributed among the employed population and how far the pattern of skill and skill change corresponds to a learning society, and consider appropriate policy conclusions
