Timeliness and Punctuality http://statistics.gov.scot/def/statistical-quality/timeliness-and-punctuality

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. The 2019 publication was published in October 2021 and we hope to bring the 2020 publication closer to the original timeline. xsd:string
