Narrative for GBCS & GFK Archiving This Data Set Represents the Data
UK Data Archive Study Number 7616 - BBC Great British Class Survey, 2011-2013 Narrative for GBCS & GFK archiving This data set represents the data collected for the Great British Class Survey project. Introduction/Origins The Great British Class Survey was hosted by BBC Lab UK, and the project itself was a collaboration between an academic team and two units of the BBC, Lab UK and Current Affairs. The BBC had produced online experiments since 2001, and launched the BBC Lab UK website to host these ‘citizen science’ projects in September 2009 (BBC 2013a). An Interactive Producer at the BBC, Phillip Trippenbach, first proposed using the BBC Lab UK platform to explore social class. In 2010, Trippenbach asked Mike Savage to collaborate with the BBC in producing a large-scale class survey in 2010, and the two then brought in Fiona Devine to co-lead what became the Great British Class Survey research team, in keeping with the BBC’s rule of always working with more than one academic on Lab UK projects. Survey Design Mike Savage and Fiona Devine worked with Philip Trippenbach and the BBC’s LabUk web team to design the questionnaire and develop the online platform. The questions on economic capital asked for household income; household savings; and the value of owner-occupied property. Economic capital was therefore based on household measures of both income and assets. The cultural capital questions were based on, or identical to, questions included in Bennett et al’s 2009 Culture, Class and Social Exclusion study. The development of the social capital questions was influenced by Lin’s (2001) position generator, which measures the range of respondents’ social ties. -

Using the BBC Stress test, linear regression models were used to investigate the asso Childhood ciations for the whole population and stratifying by gender and adjusting for age and highest education Financial hardship attainment. The critical period hypothesis was not confirmed. The accumulation hypothesis was confirmed and Adult health stratifying by gender women had a higher estimated mean GAD score if they were poor in both childhood and adulthood compared to men. Our findingsdo not support the social mobility hypothesis. However, stratifying by gender, a clear difference emerged with upward mobility having a favourable impact (lower) on women’s mean GAD scores, while upward social mobility in adulthood did not attenuate the impact of financial hardship in childhood or men. The impact of financialhardship in childhood on later mental health outcomes is particularly concerning for future health outcomes as current levels of child poverty increases in the UK. -
