Abstract

This report presents an analysis of panel attrition in Understanding Society. The analysis delves into the impact of dropouts on the sample profile of the General Population Sample (GPS), the Ethnic Minority Boost (EMB) and the Immigration and Ethnic Minority Boost (IEMB). In addition, we provide some indicators of the performance of the longitudinal survey weights in tackling attrition. This analysis covers up to wave 13 of Understanding Society (2021-23).
