The Employment of Sociologists in Research Occupations in Britain in 1973

Civil Service College, Executive Committee of the British Sociological Association

The Sociological profession in Britain has changed in fundamental ways over the last decade. This note draws attention to the rapid growth of research occupations and describes the sources and location of this expansion. Most of the recent growth has come from direct financing by central government departments. The note discusses some of the implications of this development for careers, training, and the content of the discipline. It explores some of the implications of the pressures to make the social sciences more useful to government.
