Where can I find statistical and demographic information, and help with using such data?
The MRS Census and Geodemographics Group publishes a number of resources on finding and using Census and geodemographic data. In particular the Geodemographics Knowledge Base (www.geodemographics.org.uk) is a very useful gateway for demographic sources of information. In addition the following websites are useful sources of, and gateways to, statistical and demographic information: • National Statistics (www.statistics.gov.uk) provides official UK statistics. • Nomis (www.nomisweb.co.uk) is a source of official UK labour market statistics. • UK Data Archive (www.data-archive.ac.uk) is a resource centre for digital data in the social sciences and humanities. • Information Centre about Asylum and Refugees in the UK, ICAR (www.icar.org.uk) has statistical and other information on these communities. • The Statistical Office of The European Commission (www.europa.eu.int/comm/eurostat/) provides European statistics.
