Making data collections available via a trusted digital repository, following relevant guidance on data classification and anonymisation guarantees wide and correct access to data and supports policy changing research.
A potential future research project that I hope to be able to work on would link the CVs of job seekers and their accompanying job search data in order to perform various novel and highly policy-relevant work, including looking at how job search activity varies across workers in terms of skill level, employment history, location and other characteristics over time, stretching back to before the pandemic.
