Abstract: This report gives a brief summary of the evidence of the simultaneous use of different topics in the General Household Survey (GHS) for over-time and cross-country analysis. For this purpose, we shall first give a brief introduction to the structure of the GHS and then providesome examples where different topics in the GHS are used to answer sociological questions with regard to social changes in Britain or in comparison with other countries. We concludethat the GHS has been a unique data source for conducting vigorous analysis that has helped us to gain a deeper understanding of the interrelated nature of the socio-economic factors affecting our lives in the last four decades, a role that could be hardly played by any other government or academic data source.
