Data description (abstract)

The objective of this project is to investigate what impact austerity has had on political participation in the UK. This research will involve interviews and some statistical analysis of spending cuts data. I will look at how the people’s experiences of public services vary and whether this affects how they engage with politics. The data collection consists of interviews with 43 members of the public from Salford, Sheffield, Hampshire, Harrow and Camden in England about their experiences of austerity and political participation.
