The intern will be tasked with finding and collating. then comparing and contrasting available metrics of interest from a range of data sources from across government, public and private sectors that could potentially support the existing reporting on Labour Market Statistics in Scotland. The intern will assess which data sources collect similar things, what unique metrics each data source collects, identify gaps in the data, and to assess opportunities that could be created via data linkage projects. The intern will produce a final summary of what data can be achieved from what combination of sources to inform the development and future-proofing of Labour Market Statistics for Scotland.
This work is the foundation that will inform the better use of administrative data and data linkage opportunities which will improve the robustness and resilience in Labour Market Statistics.
