Methodologies methodology 1 labour market intelligence, not information time series datasets demand-side vs supply-side LMI
methodology 2 convenience sampling vs probability sampling advantages of convenience sampling easy to administer good for qualitative results advantages of probability sampling results can be aggregated from multiple sources is gathered from a representative sample population that it is designed to be unbiased that it can be replicated in the future allowing generation of time-series datasets large surveys can be broken down to interrogate subsets of data Heathrow Terminal 5 Framework Archaeology
methodology 3 • Process • identify target population • coverage error vs sampling error • non-response error • contact targets • data collection media leads to differences • in quantity and quality of returns • extrapolation from data – • can only be done with closed population
methodology 4 Risk something is always lost in the sampling process risk of unrepresentative responses minimised through review of target population, questionnaire design and response patterns cannot be completely remedied effectiveness of remedies cannot be tested against the same dataset
methodology 5 Sampling Bias errors in sample estimates that are subsequently not taken into account incomplete coverage (not all potential respondents included) respondents failure to understand, or non-response minimise the size of unsystematic errors from variability minimise the risk of systematic errors from bias
