O NS正在进行一项重大的统计系统现代化计划，以使其在21世纪达到世界级水平。统计现代化方案(SMP)的目标是使统计产出的处理和列报标准化和系统化。开发一项新的年度收入调查--ASHE，以取代新的收入调查(NES)，是英国国家统计局作为这一现代化计划的一部分进行的第一次重大调查重新设计。NES是为满足20世纪70年代的政策需求而设计的，在过去30年中几乎没有变化。联合国统计研究所提供了满足用户要求、改进调查方法和利用新的统计工具的机会。根据《国家统计质量审查--收入分布统计数据》(DOER)中提出的建议，调整了年度国家经济统计的方法。这些变化解决了NES设计中的弱点，这些弱点导致了对收益的有偏见的估计。这些偏差的产生是因为对NES的调查答复没有考虑到员工人数。此外，样本对员工的覆盖范围不完整，主要是因为NES样本的主要来源是税务局的PAYE系统。其他偏差是由于不同类型员工的不同反应造成的。最后，调查遗漏了大量在样本选择和调查参考日期之间跳槽，但仍在调查范围内的员工，因为他们仍在工作。除了解决调查方法中的弱点外，还审查了调查问卷。NES问卷的设计很差，允许投稿人以他们自己的方式解释回答要求，这增加了2004年工作时间和收入年度调查的457技术报告方法的差异
O NS is undergoing a significant modernisation programme of its statistical systems to make them world class in the 21st century. The objectives of this Statistical Modernisation Programme (SMP) are to standardise and systematise the processing and presentation of statistical outputs. The development of a new annual earnings survey, the ASHE, to replace the New Earnings Survey (NES) is ONS’s first major survey redesign as part of this modernisation programme. The NES was designed to meet the policy needs of the 1970s and has changed little over the past 30 years. The ASHE provides an opportunity to meet users’ requirements, to improve the methodology of the survey and to make use of new statistical tools. The methodology that underpinned the annual NES has been changed in line with recommendations made in the National Statistics Quality Review of the Distribution of Earnings Statistics (DOER). The changes address the weaknesses in the NES’s design, which led to the production of biased estimates of earnings. The biases arose because the survey responses to the NES were not weighted to the population of employees. Additionally, the sample yielded incomplete coverage of employees, primarily because the main source for the NES sample was the Inland Revenue’s PAYE system. Other biases occurred because of differential non-response for employees of different types. Finally, the survey missed significant numbers of employees that change job between sample selection and the survey reference date, but who remain within scope of the survey since they remain in employment. As well as addressing the weaknesses in the survey methodology, the questionnaire has also been reviewed. The NES questionnaire was poorly designed and allowed too much latitude for contributors to interpret the response requirement in their own way, which increases variation in the ▼ 457 Technical report Methodology for the 2004 Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings
