Emeritus Prof Christopher MayNo-one is going to be surprised that the Govt. has launched an investigation into the problems at the Office of National Statistics.Led by Sir Robert Devereux (ex-senior civil servant), it will examine 'the efficacy & capability of the ONS, as well as its organisational structure, culture & leadership, after internal work failed to fix the problems identified with specific data sets'!Other than tech-deployment problems it'll be interesting to see what else Devereux uncovers?<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/ONS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ONS</a> h/t FT

Leeuwarder Courant RSS[20:33] ONS Sneek richt zich precies op tijd op en verdediger met spitsenneus voorkomt blamage tegen tien man De spelers van ONS zijn soms te lief. Maar ze kunnen ook karakter tonen. Zoals zaterdag in de laatste 10 minuten, waardoor de Snekers tegen tien man toch nog wonnen <a href="https://lc.nl/sport/ONS-Sneek-richt-zich-precies-op-tijd-op-en-verdediger-met-spitsenneus-voorkomt-blamage-tegen-tien-man-45642540.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://lc.nl/sport/ONS-Sneek-richt-zich-precies-op-tijd-op-en-verdediger-met-spitsenneus-voorkomt-blamage-tegen-tien-man-45642540.html</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ozioso.online/tags/ONS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ONS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ozioso.online/tags/zaterdag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zaterdag</a> #10 <a href="https://mastodon.ozioso.online/tags/Snekers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Snekers</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ozioso.online/tags/tien" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tien</a>

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayIn the ONS' scramble to try to improve is labour market data, its scrapping the Survey on Living Conditions to free up budget to try and find a way to collect better information about work/employment.While not the only survey to compile data on living standards, it is notable that the ONS/SLC was directly comparable to EU data sources & thus was one way of tracking how the UK was doing (comparatively) after Brexit.How odd, that's the survey they're scrapping?<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Brexit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Brexit</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/ONS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ONS</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/workers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workers</a> h/t FT

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayTrouble at the Office of National Statistics continues with staff churn, failing methods & funding problems all undermining reliability of the data on which Govt. depends for formulating policy.The potential difference between ONS & independent assessment (here by the Resolution Foundation) of employment suggest labour market policy (especially regarding the 'economically inactive') may be misconceived (which many would argue anyway).In a sense Labour *is* flying blind<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/ONS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ONS</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/workers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workers</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/data" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#data</a>

Ahmad Barclay📈📉We've just published a nifty new <a href="https://vis.social/tags/ONS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ONS</a> tool that allows you to see how different factors affect population projections! Adjust life expectancy, fertility rate and net migration to see how they affect estimates... <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/populationprojections/articles/ukpopulationprojectionexplorer/2025-01-28" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/populationprojections/articles/ukpopulationprojectionexplorer/2025-01-28</a>

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayHaving seen the quality of the its Labour Force Survey decline quickly after is shift to online responses, leading to policy makers 'flying blind' on employment & related data.... the ONS is now hiring a army of temporary interviewers to revive the old method of collecting LFS data.But, they're using low-paid temporary staff for this (reflecting the labour market they're researching), suggesting we *may* see better labour market data at some point.<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/ONS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ONS</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/workers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workers</a> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jan/23/ons-to-spend-millions-on-temp-workers-to-fix-unusable-uk-employment-data" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jan/23/ons-to-spend-millions-on-temp-workers-to-fix-unusable-uk-employment-data</a>

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayAs we know, the Office for National Statistics is engulfed in a growing crisis of unreliability.... if you want some more detail, here's Heather Stewart joining the dots.The real Q. is whether other data (as Jonathan Portes believes) will be able to give parallel indications to policy makers, or whether they really are starting to 'fly blind' (as I rather suspect they are).....<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/ONS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ONS</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/statistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#statistics</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economics</a> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/dec/23/ons-job-figures-labour-force-survey-data" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/dec/23/ons-job-figures-labour-force-survey-data</a>
