Welcome to the Centre for Comparative European Survey Data Information System

About the CCESD Information System (CCESD-IS)

CCESD-IS provides unique facilities for on-line analysis of major British and European social surveys. It includes hundreds of surveys spanning over 50 years, with 100,000s of questions that may be found by:

• drop-down content lists of topics
• full-text searches of the question wording
• browsing the survey-by-survey listings

CCESD-IS produces time-series results automatically, displayed as both tables and high-quality charts.
