Care and caring in geographical context: what difference does place make?

该项目与英国国家统计局(ONS)合作，为申请者提供了一个绝佳的机会，将尖端方法应用于一个极好的新数据集，以研究护理和护理对幸福感的影响，以及这种影响在地理上是如何变化的。连接到位于谢菲尔德大学的英国领先的社会关怀研究中心Circle，您将受益于一个多学科的监督团队。该项目是与国家统计局合作开发的，将利用其新的数据链接能力，将来自以下来源的数据连接起来：人口普查(2001年、2011年和2021年)；NHS数字(如医院事件统计；英格兰成人照顾者调查；成人社会护理调查)；DWP(健康、残疾和护理统计)；以及选定的地方当局委托数据。研究的中心问题将是“一个人提供护理或残疾生活/需要护理和支持的经历是如何受到居住地的影响的？”其目的是利用尖端的社会统计和数据分析来探索一个人的健康和幸福(物质和主观)在多大程度上受到他们所处的当地环境的影响(当地社会经济条件；家庭和劳动力市场情况；在提供和/或接受护理时获得公共资助的支助)。学生资格将侧重于种族/文化和/或教育和资格的差异。

Working in partnership with the Office for National Statistics (ONS), this project offers an outstanding opportunity for an applicant to apply cutting-edge methods to a superb new dataset to study the impact of care and caring on wellbeing and how this varies geographically. Linked to CIRCLE, the UK's leading research centre on social care based at the University of Sheffield, you will benefit from a multidisciplinary supervision team. The project, developed in collaboration with the ONS, will exploit its new data linkage powers, connecting data from sources such as: Census (2001, 2011 and 2021); NHS digital (e.g. Hospital Episode Statistics; Survey of Adult Carers in England; Adult Social Care Survey); DWP (statistics on health, disability and care); and selected local authority commissioning data. The central research question will be 'How is a person's experience of providing care, or of living with disability / needing care and support, shaped by where they live?' The aim is to utilise cutting edge social statistics and data analytics to explore how far a person's health and wellbeing (material and subjective) is shaped by the local context in which they live (local socio-economic conditions; household and labour market circumstances; access to publicly funded support when providing and / or receiving care). The studentship will focus on differences of ethnicity / culture and/or education and qualifications.
