This issue builds on the pay analysis presented in Issue 6 of SCWP, taking the investigation a step further. The current analysis examines the complexity and interactions of pay variations within the adult social care sector using multilevel modelling. The analysis is based on NMDS-SC, December 2009, using a total of 88,982 records of adult care workers with complete pay information. The analysis uses mixed-effect regression modelling to account for the hierarchical effects of region, sector and employer on pay levels among different job role groups within the adult care sector
