Description:
The 2006 Skills Survey provides a resource for analysing skill and job requirements in the British economy. It is a survey of employees and covers the public, private and non-profit sectors.
The survey was previously conducted in 1997 and 2001. It contains very intensive coverage of details of work, and especially skills and training. The survey extended the evidence about trends across time in broad skills while providing much more detailed knowledge about particular skills. Its primary innovation was that it enabled the measurement of ten generic skills and in addition computing skills.
