“…factors related to population composition may operate in other UK cities. We suggest that equivalent Census-based longitudinal studies in other parts of the country 23,24 are utilised in a similar fashion to test the findings presented here. The conclusion of this study is that tackling the reduced uptake of screening for breast (and probably other cancers) in cities should be a major public health concern.…”

“…In the empirical section that follows, the neighbourhood accounts framework is operationalised using data from the Scottish Longitudinal Study (the SLS); see Boyle et al (2009) (7) Born after T 0 , before T 1 entrants are noted from birth registrations. Of those present in 1991, some 12 per cent could not be traced in 2001 nor accounted for through deaths or known moves out of Scotland (Boyle et al, 2009).…”

How Spatial Segregation Changes over Time: Sorting Out the Sorting Processes

Although there is strong evidence that segregation on socio-economic lines has risen in the many countries over the last few decades, comparatively little is known about the processes by which this happens. While it is often assumed that selective migration is the dominant process, this is rarely demonstrated. This paper proposes a more comprehensive framework to analyse processes driving changes in segregation -a 'neighbourhood accounts' framework.

“…2 The dataset comprises young people undertaking Standard Grades in Scottish schools between 2007 and 2011 who were members of the SLS. The SLS is a large-scale representative sample of the Scottish population which links Census records (from 1991, 2001 and 2011) to other administrative data resources (see Boyle et al, 2009). Raab (2013) provides details of the SQA data that have been linked to the SLS.…”

Parental socioeconomic influences on filial educational outcomes in Scotland: patterns of school-level educational performance using administrative data

In Britain there have been manifest changes in the management and organisation of education, but despite these developments there are still persistent inequalities in pupils’ educational outcomes. These inequalities are consequential because school qualifications are known to influence both pupils’ immediate continuation in education, and their later educational and occupational outcomes. The Scottish school system is similar to the system in England and Wales but there are a distinctive set of qualifications. From the mid-1980s until 2013 the final years of compulsory schooling led up to Standard Grade qualifications. Standard Grades were similar to the General Certificates of Secondary Education (GCSEs) and are worthy of detailed sociological examination because they were the first major branching point in the Scottish education system. A specialist dataset using administrative records was constructed for this project. The dataset comprises young people who undertook Standard Grades in Scottish schools between 2007 and 2011, who were members of the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS). We analyse pupils’ subject-area outcomes using a latent variable modelling approach, and explore characteristics associated with the membership of latent educational groups. The analyses uncovered four main latent educational groups. One group had very positive outcomes and pupils were generally more socially advantaged; another group had very poor outcomes and were generally more socially disadvantaged. There were two ‘middle’ groups, which both had similar moderate overall Standard Grade outcomes, but notably different subject-area-level outcomes. We conclude that during school hours these pupils are unlikely to be found drinking Iron Brew WKD in their local parks or at home playing on their Xbox; however, they are also unlikely to be filling out university application forms in the next couple of years
