Graduate student perspectives on opportunities and approaches for supporting transdisciplinary research and education
Performance‐related pay and the UK gender pay gap
Applying decomposition methods to data from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings, we highlight the importance of performance‐related pay to the contemporary UK gender pay gap. We find that the lower probability of females being employed in performance‐related pay jobs explains a sizeable proportion of the gender pay gap, particularly at the top end of the annual earnings distribution. The latter is driven by its influence within the private se…
Does disability affect support for political parties
While it is well-established that disability reduces the probability of electoral turnout, far less is known about the relationship between disability and support for particular political parties. Using nationally representative longitudinal data from Understanding Society we explore the relationship between disability and party support in England and Wales along left-right and protest dimensions. Consistent with our hypotheses, analysis of cross…
Guidance on minimum standards for canine-assisted psychotherapy in adolescent mental health
Introduction: Canine-assisted psychotherapy (CAP) is an emerging field that is largely unregulated and at times fragmented. Despite this, CAP shows promise as an innovative intervention for improving adolescent mental health. To ensure safe, ethical interventions incorporating dogs, providers need minimum standards to guide intervention development and subsequent research. Initially, standards should guide the preliminary steps required to prepar…
The UK gender pay gap
Motivated by the introduction of the UK Gender Pay Gap Reporting legislation to large firms, defined as over 250 employees, we use linked employee–employer panel data from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings to explore pre‐legislation variation in the gender pay gap by firm size. In doing so, we contribute to the evidence on the relationship between two prominent empirical regularities in the labour economics literature, namely the gender pay…
Understanding the disability voting gap in the UK
Using nationally representative longitudinal data from Understanding Society we explore the relationship between disability and political participation in the UK. More specifically, we examine the determinants of the ‘disability voting gap’, and assess how it varies by the severity, type and chronicity of disability. After accounting for demographic characteristics, the disability voting gap across UK General Elections between 2010 and 2019 is fo…
Covid-19 and the labour market outcomes of disabled people in the UK
Exploring the Relationship Between Impairment and Disability in Great Britain
Academic and government policy evidence that quantifies the disadvantage experienced by people with disabilities in the United Kingdom relies on “global” self-reported measures of disability available in large-scale national surveys. Understanding who is captured by such measures and the “process of disablement” is therefore vital. This article applies multivariate regression analysis to nationally representative and uniquely rich data for Great …

Understanding changing disability-related employment gaps in Britain 1998-2011
A large and enduring employment gap attaches to impairment and disability. Nevertheless, disability remains a neglected area of research in both labour economics and sociology of work when compared to other protected groups. The government has looked to health professionals (Dame Carol Black, and Sir Michael Marmot), rather than to social scientists, for policy advice, including in relation to the workplace. The Black Review charts an improvement…
An Analysis of Labour Market Outcomes in the European Union Objective One Funding Area in Great Britain
Jones M. K. and Skilton L. An analysis of labour market outcomes in the European Union Objective One funding area in Great Britain, Regional Studies. This paper uses data from the Labour Force Survey (1995–2005) to examine the short-run impact of European Union Objective One funding on local labour markets in Great Britain. The evidence from a difference-in-difference analysis reveals that employment and job-related training gaps between the Obje…

Disability, Gender and the Labour Market in Wales
Jones M. K., Latreille P. L. and Sloane P. J. (2006) Disability, gender and the labour market in Wales, Regional Studies 40, 823–845. Wales exhibits high rates of disability and inactivity, and a higher incidence of mental health problems than other parts of Britain. Using data from the Welsh Local Labour Force Survey, 2001, the results indicate that the low participation rate of the disabled in Wales is partly attributable to their having fewer …
The Dynamic Benchmarking of Labour Markets
Jones M. K. (2004) The dynamic benchmarking of labour markets, Reg. Studies 38, 495-506. This paper investigates the potential role of benchmarking labour market performance at the regional level. It focuses on how labour market comparison can be simplified, using a single, composite measure of performance, whilst capturing the multi-dimensional nature of labour market performance. The issues that surround the development of a composite measure a…
Applying the Delphi technique in a study of GPs’ information requirements
This article describes some dilemmas and problems encountered in a Delphi study of general practitioners' (GPs) information requirements. The research involved a three-round Delphi administered to an expert panel of 50 GPs in one Welsh health authority area. The Delphi is generally perceived as a qualitative METHOD: However, we argue that the requirements of the technique make it difficult to sustain the kind of inductive analysis - faithfully re…
A comparison of verb use in children with SLI and their younger siblings
The present longitudinal study examined the use of verbs at the early stages of expressive language development by children with specific language impairment (SLI). Three children with SLI and their younger normal language learning siblings were videotaped during mother-child interactions in the home over a 2-year period. At the beginning of the study both the child with SLI and the younger sibling appeared to be in the same stage of expressive l…

Psychosocial Adjustment and Self-Reported Patterns of Alcohol Use among Hispanic Adolescents
There is growing evidence that a host of factors, commonly referred to as protective resources, can serve to mediate patterns of alcohol use commonly found in at-risk groups. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of two protective resources-(a) self-concept and (b) attitudes pertaining to the benefits of alcohol-to differentiate between self-reported alcohol users and nonusers in a sample of Hispanic junior high school students (N = 2…
