Description

This first year module will provide students with an understanding of international differences across a range of important policy-relevant areas, from family life to employment to political engagement, and the key factors that underpin these differences. It will focus in detail on the UK to explore how it has changed (and remained stable) over time, exploring the factors that underpin this and their consequences, particularly in terms of public policy.

The module will introduce students to different ways of thinking about and assessing evidence, including consideration of practical issues to do with how data is collected, how different phenomena can be measured, and the issues that emerge when comparing data from different sources. The evidence considered in the module will be predominantly but not entirely statistical in nature.
