  start date: 2019-01-01T00:00:00
timeliness: The publication is normally released in January in each year. However the ESS 2019 publication was delayed due to the postponement of the 2019 Global Connections Survey (GCS), which is one of the key sources for this data. This was done in recognition of the challenges and pressures faced by businesses in dealing with the Coronavirus pandemic and preparing for EU exit. This has impacted the timing of subsequent publications. To reduce the delay, ESS 2020 and 2021 were published together for the first time.
uniqueness: Not assessed
update frequency: annual
validity: The data are of interest to government policy makers, politicians, the business community, economic commentators, academics and members of the general public with an interest in the Scottish economy.
