In this Data Insight, we explore how COVID-19 mortality rates vary by occupation for women and men in Scotland in the period between 1st March 2020 and 31st January 2021. Using a national novel linked data collection, we contrast preliminary results for Scotland with those from a similar linked data study for England.
The Digitising Scotland project digitised 25.8 million Scottish civil registration vital events records, including digitising birth, marriages and deaths, from when records began in 1855 until 1973 (from 1974 records became digital). To use these pre-digital records effectively for large-scale full life history research, they must not only be made machine-readable, but also coded in a suitable research ready format – including the broad classification of some of the information gathered.
Active commuting, predominantly walking and cycling for journeys to work or study, provides a range of benefits to individuals and societies. Research in this area is often challenging given the availability of data sources which allow for detailed and focused investigations. In 2016, Scottish Census data were made available, via application, for the first time for research purposes. Our work uses these data to examine the health and economic benefits of walking and cycling for commuting purposes at a national level in Scotland.
