Commercials, careers and culture: travelling salesmen in Britain 1890s-1930s

Within the lower middle-class, British commercial travellers established a strong fraternal culture before 1914. This article examines their interwar experiences in terms of income, careers, and associational culture. It demonstrates how internal labour markets operated, identifies the ways in which commercial travellers interpreted their role, and explores their social and political attitudes

Small-area analyses of bone cancer diagnosed in Great Britain provide clues to aetiology

Background: The aetiology of bone cancers is poorly understood. This study examined geographical patterning in incidence of primary bone cancers diagnosed in 0-49 year olds in Great Britain during 1980-2005 to provide information on factors linked with disease development. We investigated putative associations with deprivation and population density.Methods: Data on osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma were obtained from national population-based registries. Negative binomial regression was used to examine the relationship between incidence rates and the Townsend deprivation score (and its component variables) and small-area population density.Results: The study analyzed 2566 osteosarcoma and 1650 Ewing sarcoma cases. For females with osteosarcoma, statistically significant decreased risk was associated with higher levels of deprivation (relative risk [RR] per unit increase in deprivation score = 0.969; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.946-0.993). For all Ewing sarcoma combined, statistically significant decreased risk was associated with greater area-level population density and higher levels of non-car ownership (RR per person per hectare increase = 0.984; 95% CI 0.976-0.993, RR per 1% increase in non-car ownership = 0.994; 95% CI 0.991-0.998).Conclusions: Higher incidence of osteosarcoma was observed for females in areas with lower deprivation levels indicating increased risk is linked to some aspect of affluent living. Higher incidence of Ewing sarcoma occurred in areas of low population density and where more people owned cars, both characteristic of rural environments. The study adds substantially to evidence associating Ewing sarcoma risk with rural environmental exposures. Putative risk factors include agricultural exposures, such as pesticides and zoonotic agents

Census Flow Data, 1991: Migration and Workplace Statistics

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.Census flow data involve flows of individuals in the UK between origins and destinations. These flows are either the residential migrations of individuals from one place of usual residence to another, or of commuters making journeys from home to workplace. These data are derived from the questions on the census form relating to usual place of residence one year ago, and the place of work for the respondent's main job. Main Topics:The Web-based Interface to Census Interaction Data (WICID) Flow Data service facilitates access to Census interaction data for members of UK higher and further education institutions. The 1991 datasets currently held include: Census migration datasets: 1991 Census: Special Migration Statistics (Sets 1, including re-estimation for 2001 boundaries, and 2, MIGPOP, SMSGAPS and SAS LBS Table 100 A and B); Migration data at Ward and District level; Ward-level re-estimations for 2001 geographies. Census commuting datasets: 1991 Census: Special Workplace Statistics (Sets A, B and C - including modified set Cs); Commuting data by residence (A), Workplace (B), and within and between wards (C) for 1991 and 2001 boundaries.</ul
