The role of households, neighbourhoods and networks in social statistics

许多问题影响着这个国家的社会进步。社会研究可以确定影响失业、贫困、教育程度、犯罪受害者和健康状况不佳等问题的因素。调查和其他数据被广泛用于检查这些情况及其与人的属性的关联。该项目将提供一些方法，更好地确定与家庭结构和其他群体及社会网络有关的影响的影响。提高评估这些因素影响的能力将产生经济和社会效益。这些好处将来自改进的分析，从而导致更好的决策和研究研究设计的改进，从而提高其成本效益。

Many issues affect the social progress of the country. Social research can determine the factors affecting issues such as unemployment, poverty, educational attainment, crime victimization and poor health. Survey and other data are used extensively to examine these conditions and their association with attributes of people. This project will provide methods to better determine the impact of effects associated with the household structure and other groups and social networks. The improved ability to assess the impact of these factors will have economic and social benefits. These benefits will arise from improved analysis leading to better decisions and improvements in the design of research studies improving their cost efficiency.
