What people do all day: Developing understanding of the labour market using Time Use Surveys

英国在提供劳动力市场信息(LMI)方面存在几个重大的数据差距。我们的研究将决定如何使用管理和基于网络的新数据源以及尖端方法来填补这些空白。我们将重点关注根据时间使用调查结果编制劳动力账户，特别是工作时数方面的差距。在下一次国民账户体系(SNA)修订之前，特别注意衡量劳动力市场，建议将劳动力账户纳入中央框架，在SNA中单独设立一章(SNA咨询专家组，2021年)。这纠正了当前的失衡，即资本在中央框架内，而不是劳动力。SNA指导文件涵盖了与劳动力、人力资本和教育有关的衡量标准。它建议编制侧重于工作岗位、人员、数量和薪酬四个象限的劳动力账户，并就衡量教育和人力资本提出建议。一些建议相对容易被纳入国民账户。其他人则需要进一步发展概念和数据。我们的研究超越了劳动力账户，以了解劳动力市场运作的一些方面，这些方面不可能直接纳入国民账户和附属账户，但应为今后的修订提供参考。这些研究包括了解劳动力市场的转型、技能的需求和供应、雇主在劳动力市场的集中度和工作质量。我们的研究不仅将使英国国家统计局受益，还将使一系列政府机构受益，包括DFE、DLUHC、BEIS、内阁府和政府平等局。它还将向政府的几个最新优先领域提供信息，从升级议程到支持工人和促进劳动力市场的公平和包容。

There are several significant data gaps in the provision of Labour Market Information (LMI) in the UK. Our research wills how how these gaps can be filled using novel data sources, both administrative and web-based, and cutting-edge methods. We will focus on gaps in producing labour accounts, in particular hours worked, informed by results from Time Use Surveys. In the run up to the next System of National Accounts (SNA) revisions, particular attention has been given to measuring labour markets, with the recommendation that labour accounts should be included within the central framework, with its own chapter in the SNA (SNA advisory expert group, 2021). This corrects a current imbalance whereby capital is in the central framework but not labour. The SNA guidance document covers measurement related to Labour, Human Capital and Education. It recommends producing labour accounts that focus on four quadrants of jobs, people, volumes and payments, as well as recommendations on measuring education and human capital. Some suggestions are relatively easily incorporated in national accounts. Others require further development of concepts and data. Our research goes beyond the labour accounts to understand aspects of the operation of labour markets that are not feasible to include directly in National and Satellite Accounts but should inform future revisions. These include understanding labour market transitions, the demand and supply of skills, employer concentration in labour markets and the quality of work.Our research will benefit not just ONS but a range of government agencies, including the DfE, DLUHC, BEIS, Cabinet Office and the Government Equalities Office. It will also inform several of the Government's latest priority areas, ranging from the levelling-up agenda to supporting workers and promoting fairness and inclusion in the labour market.
