Data description (abstract)

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner. This study was concerned with middle class men and women typically living in privately built houses on suburban estates around the major industrial cities of Britain. It was based upon 172 completed questionnaires and extensive interview notes. The research endeavoured to present some of the dilemmas which such people faced in relating their work life to their family life, and considered related issues of value, ambition, success and reward.
